Jewelry Care Guide

Your jewelry is more than just an accessory — it’s a reflection of your story. At The Altered Carbon, each piece is crafted to last a lifetime. With the right care, you can preserve its brilliance, beauty, and strength for years to come.

Always remove your jewelry if it could be exposed to chemicals of any kind:

  • Cleaning products
  • Lotions
  • Most soaps
  • Makeup
  • Chlorine

Remove your jewelry before sleeping.

Remove your jewelry before showering and swimming.

Remove your jewelry before any activity that could knock, scratch, or dent your jewelry: exercising, yardwork or gardening, cleaning, or lifting heavy objects. If you aren’t sure whether removing your jewelry is required, best to be safe and store it.

Always store your jewelry in a safe location, away from other pieces of jewelry which could rub, scratch, or tangle. Preferably, store your fine jewelry in a fabric-lined box or case.

Clean your jewelry regularly with warm (not hot or boiling) water, gentle soap (we recommend blue dish soap), and a soft toothbrush. Dry gently with a microfiber cloth.

Simple Steps to Clean Your Jewelry

  • Scrub lightly with a soft-bristled brush using warm water and detergent-free soap.

  • Rinse thoroughly to ensure there is no residue.

  • Buff gently with a clean cloth to make sure your jewelry is completely dry.
