Daily care of your jewelry creation

The Maison is delighted to share care advice with you to ensure your piece continues to enchant you day after day. These simple steps will help you preserve the beauty of your jewelry for years to come.

Daily wear

Daily wear

Your Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry creation is delicate and thus requires special care and attention.

 

To prevent damage to your piece, we recommend avoiding exposure to fragrance, soap, chemicals or cosmetics, as these could affect its color and form. It is best to wait until fragrances and cosmetics have dried completely before wearing your jewelry.

 

It is important not to expose your creation to water (fresh, chlorinated or salt) or to high temperatures (such as prolonged sun exposure).

 

We generally recommend that you do not wear your jewelry when performing certain activities (sports, gardening, etc.) to prevent it from being knocked or from coming into contact with harmful substances.

Cleaning

Cleaning

To preserve the beauty and shine of your Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry over time, the Maison would like to share some care and maintenance advice.

 

Each gemstone has its own unique characteristics. You will find the Maison's recommendations for each in the dedicated section.

 

To clean a full gold creation, you may use a small amount of liquid soap and gently rub it with a soft brush, before rinsing the jewelry with lukewarm water and drying it with a soft, dry cloth.

 

We also invite you to visit our boutiques for a complimentary deep cleaning at any time.

Storage

Each Van Cleef & Arpels creation should be stored in a fabric-lined jewelry case, separate from other pieces, to prevent it from being knocked and scratched. Some of the materials used by the Maison are more delicate than others and are particularly susceptible to damage from impact.

 

Diamonds are the most brilliant and hardest of all minerals, meaning they can scratch softer materials. Therefore, we advise storing any diamond-set creations separately.
