JEWELRY CARE

Your Cartier jewelry is precious and requires care and attention. We recommend the following daily considerations to preserve your jewelry as long as possible:

  • Be sure to handle your jewelry with care.
  • Remove your jewelry when washing your hands or using corrosive products that could permanently damage precious metal, stones or pearls.
  • Take your regular activities into consideration when wearing your jewelry, including potential for impact.
  • Keep your jewelry away from intense sources of heat and extreme temperature changes.

Before putting on your piece of jewelry, examine it for a moment:

  • Check that the clasp, and its safety catch if it has one, is not loose.
  • Check that the settings of the stones have not moved. You may do this by shaking the piece of jewelry close to your ear. If you hear a slight noise, this means that the stones are no longer perfectly secured. Alternatively, you may also rub the piece of jewelry against a thin cloth. If the cloth catches, this means that the prongs have moved.
  • If you are in the slightest doubt, it is advisable not to wear your piece of jewelry until you have had it checked at a Cartier boutique.

Your jewelry should be cleaned regularly.

If it contains lapis lazuli, coral, pearls, turquoise or emeralds, or if it contains a significant cluster of stones, the task of cleaning it should be entrusted to one of our specialists at a Cartier boutique.

If it does not include these types of stone, you may carry out the cleaning yourself. Brush the jewelry delicately with a very soft small brush in lukewarm soapy water, carefully rinse it in lukewarm water and wipe it with a soft cloth.

Once per year, leave your pieces of jewelry at a Cartier boutique to have them checked, cleaned and revitalized.

Once every one to three years, have the stringing of your Cartier pearl necklace serviced.

Pieces of jewelry become scratched when they come into contact with one another. We recommend storing them individually in the Cartier case you were given at the time of purchase.

Chains should be closed and laid flat to avoid the formation of knots.

Do not to place several pieces of jewelry together without protection between the pieces.
