Do you know how to keep your Larimar Jewelry looking as it was just purchased?

As a unique semi-precious gemstone, we should treasure every piece of Larimar jewelry we own! If you wear your Larimar daily, you should give it a special attention at least once a week to keep it looking like it just came out of the box! To our best knowledge, we'll share some tips to help you take care of your Caribbean jewels!

Larimar Jewelry Care

01

To avoid any possible dullness or tarnishing, put your Larimar silver jewelry on last, avoiding direct contact with lotions, perfumes, and hair sprays. With this bit of measure, you'll maintain your stone and silver setting shining.

02

Don't wear your Larimar jewelry when using household and any other sort of chemicals to avoid any possible damage to the stone and/or silver setting.

03

Take off your pieces if you're going for a swim in the pool. Chlorine of swimming pools may damage the Larimar stone and cause possible discoloration of the 925 silver settings.

04

Never take your Larimar silver jewels to steam baths designed for jewelry. You can use ultrasonic cleaners instead.

05

Larimar doesn't easily scratch; however, to keep the beauty of the stone, avoid bumping or grinding it.

06

Avoid prolonged sun exposure, temperatures over 37 grades Celsius.

07

We recommend cleaning your Larimar jewel after wearing it to avoid body oil and dirt accumulation; any dry-soft cloth will work fine!

08

Once a week or from time to time, wash your pieces with clean, fresh water and a few drops of mild soap. Use a soft brush to clean the dirt from the silver setting, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Please notice that the Larimar stone might turn slightly bluer due to water absorption.

You can also use a jewelry cleaning or polishing cloth to clean your Larimar jewel.

 

Guayacan Wood and Larimar Jewelry Care

You have acquired a beautiful Larimar and Wood jewel which you want to keep all the time as new. Great!

01

Always keep your Larimar and Wood jewel in a cool, dry box when you are not wearing it.

02

Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight and do not store it in a place where it can be exposed to extremely high temperatures on hot days.

03

Do not wear your Larimar & Wood jewelry when using any chemicals to avoid damaging both the stone and the wood. Avoid soaking your Larimar & Guayacan jewelry in water since the wood might swell.

04

We recommend you take off your Larimar & Wood jewelry when taking a shower or washing your hand. If you live in an arid environment, the dramatic change in humidity might cause cracking.

05

Don't wear your Larimar & Wood jewelry in swimming pools, saunas, or jacuzzis to avoid damaging the wood, as well as the Larimar stone.

Cleaning your Larimar Guayacan Wood Jewelry

Regularly clean the wooden part of your jewel with a damp-soft cloth or shammy. After this step, rub in a drop of olive oil to protect it from drying and cracking.

• Take some olive oil and put it on a small piece of soft cloth, then rub it into the wood well, so all the wood gets a good amount of olive oil on it. You can also use Coconut or Jojoba oil. The oil will make the wood shine and protect the wooden part from getting dry and cracking.
• For the Larimar and 925 silver part of your wood jewelry, clean it with a soft brush soaked in fresh water and a few drops of mild soap, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
