Care & Cleaning

How should I clean my Victoria Ryan jewelry?

Clean gently with warm water and a mild, diluted soap. Use a soft cloth or brush, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. Avoid abrasive materials to preserve the finish.

Can I wear my jewelry every day?

Yes. Victoria Ryan pieces are designed for daily wear. Over time, natural wear and a soft patina will develop. This is part of the beauty and individuality of fine jewelry.

Why do my charms look slightly darker in certain areas?

This is completely normal. Movement and contact between charms can create subtle variations or darkening near connections. A gentle cleaning will restore brightness, but we encourage allowing pieces to age naturally.

How do I care for charm necklaces?

Our charm necklaces are designed to move freely. Over time, contact between charms may create slight softening or variation in finish. Avoid over-polishing—this evolution is intentional and unique to you.

How should I care for pearls?

Pearls are delicate and should be cleaned with warm water only — no soaps, chemicals, or abrasive materials. If combined with gold, clean each element separately.

Can enamel jewelry get wet?

We recommend avoiding water, especially salt or chlorine, as well as lotions, perfumes, and cleansers. Do not use ultrasonic or chemical cleaners, as they can damage the enamel.

How do I clean gemstone pieces?

Natural stones such as onyx, lapis, malachite, and amethyst should be cleaned only with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking or exposing them to chemicals.

How should I store my jewelry?

Store in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratching and minimize exposure to air. Keeping pieces separate helps preserve their finish.

When should I remove my jewelry?

Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, exercising, or applying lotions and perfumes to maintain its condition over time.

How often should I check my jewelry?

We recommend periodically inspecting your pieces, especially prong-set stones. If anything feels loose, contact us for guidance.

Are your diamonds ethically sourced?

Yes. Victoria Ryan is committed to responsible sourcing. All natural diamonds comply with the Kimberley Process, and our lab-grown diamonds meet the highest quality and ethical standards.
