Jewellery made with care deserves to be cared for in return. At Sophia Perez Jewellery, every piece is handcrafted in London using 100% recycled gold and carefully chosen gemstones, whether natural, salt and pepper, or lab-grown. Ethical choices make your jewellery all the more meaningful, and with the right care, they can remain as beautiful as the day you first wore them.

Recycled Gold, Lasting and Responsible

Recycled gold is no different in quality or durability than newly mined gold. It’s just as strong, just as radiant, and completely sustainable. Like all precious metals, however, gold can scratch over time. Keeping it stored separately in a soft pouch or jewellery box will help maintain its finish.

Lab-Grown vs. Natural Stones

Both lab-grown and natural stones are equally durable, but they can require slightly different care. Diamonds (whether lab-grown or mined) are the hardest gemstones and stand up well to everyday wear. Sapphires and emeralds are strong too, but can be more prone to surface scratches or internal inclusions. Always remember: no stone is indestructible, so treat yours gently.

Safe Cleaning at Home

A simple cleaning routine goes a long way. Use a soft toothbrush with warm water and mild dish soap to gently scrub away oils, dirt, and residue. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or boiling water, as these can damage softer stones or loosen delicate settings.

Storing Your Jewellery

Store each piece separately to prevent scratches, especially rings with diamonds or harder stones that can mark softer gems or metals. A lined jewellery box with dividers or individual pouches is ideal.

Professional Check-Ups

Even the strongest claws and settings can loosen with time and daily wear. Bring your piece back to us for a professional clean and maintenance check. At SPJ, we offer this service exclusively for our own jewellery, ensuring each ring is cared for by the hands that made it.

Ethical jewellery is not just about where it comes from, but how long it lasts. With a little extra care and attention, your recycled gold and meaningful stones, whether lab-grown or natural, will carry their story with brilliance for years to come.

At Sophia Perez Jewellery, we’re always here if you’d like us to check, clean, or refresh your piece. After all, jewellery isn’t just worn, it’s lived in.
