Care Guide
At Auge Atelier, we curate heirlooms, pieces meant to accompany you through time and memory. Each jewel holds a story, designed to be worn, treasured, and passed on.
Please note: our jewelry is mostly pre-owned. Minor imperfections may be present, reflecting the age and character of each piece. These traces are part of their charm and authenticity. We always disclose the exact condition of each item.
With mindful care, your jewelry will retain its brilliance for years to come. Here are our recommendations to keep your pieces in impeccable condition:
1. BEFORE WEARING
Inspect your piece gently to ensure all stones are securely set.
2. HANDLING & PROTECTION
Treat your jewelry with care. Avoid knocks, drops, or pressure that may cause damage. Even diamonds, though resilient, can fracture if struck at the wrong angle.
3. AVOIDING CHEMICALS
Remove your jewelry before applying perfume, creams, or cosmetics. Keep it away from cleaning agents, chlorine, and salt water, which may dull its shine or weaken its structure. We recommend removing your pieces when washing hands or showering.
4. STORAGE
Store each item in its original box or in soft pouches made of velvet, silk, or cotton. Keep pieces separate to prevent scratches or tangling.
5. CLEANING
Prepare a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap. Dip your jewelry and gently brush it with a soft toothbrush. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
6. PERIODIC CHECKS
Inspect your jewelry regularly, especially pieces with set stones, to ensure they remain secure.
