Proper care is key to preserving the beauty, value, and meaning of your vintage, antique, and artisan jewelry from Petra Star.

Professional Clean & Check

We highly recommend having your jewelry professionally checked and cleaned every year by Petra Star or your trusted local jeweler. This ensures all settings are secure, gemstones are in place, and any necessary repairs are addressed. Preventative attention—like tightening a loose stone—is far easier than replacing a lost one!

We offer exclusive clean-and-check invitations to Petra Star customers every six months via email. If you’ve purchased from us and would like to receive these reminders, sign up below.

Jewelry Care Tips

  • Everyday Care

    • Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or using cleaning products.
    • Avoid exposing fine jewelry to harsh chemicals, lotions, perfumes, or heat.
    • Store jewelry in a fabric-lined box or separate pouches to prevent scratches and tangles.

  • Stone & Metal Care

    • Diamonds and sapphires can be gently cleaned with soapy water and a soft brush, while delicate gemstones (like emeralds or opals) require extra caution—when in doubt, bring pieces to us for review.
    • Gently clean gold, platinum, and silver with a soft cloth; for deeper cleans, use mild soap and warm water, avoiding abrasive materials.
