Jewelry Care
Your fine jewelry is precious and should be cared for accordingly. To extend its life and keep it in pristine condition, we recommend the following care:
- Most importantly, remove and safely store your fine jewelry before participating in strenuous activities such as the gym, yard work, and recreational activities. We also recommend that you remove your rings before doing hand-heavy activities that put your ring in contact with hard surfaces like household and kitchen chores.
- Keep your jewelry away from chemicals such as perfume, hair spray, cosmetics, and lotion.
- Clasp and properly store necklaces when removing them to ensure the chains do not tangle.
- To keep your jewelry pristine between professional cleanings remove your jewelry before you shower, apply lotion, perfume, sunscreen, etc.
- Clean your diamond jewelry at home between professional cleanings using a soft toothbrush and an ammonia based cleaner such as Mr. Clean or Simple Green. Gently scrub metal and stones. Do not clean pearls with any chemicals, abrasives, or solvents.
Professional Cleaning & Warranty
- At T. Anthony Jewelers, we are committed to creating jewelry of exceptional quality, built to last for generations. We have sourced master artisans for each step of our handcrafted manufacturing process, and we stand behind our craftsmanship. Each piece of jewelry comes with a lifetime manufacturing warranty which covers any repairs related to defects in the production process.
- We provide lifetime complimentary cleaning and inspections for your T. Anthony Jewelers purchased jewelry, which includes polishing, refinishing and rhodium plating as needed – a uniquely comprehensive level of service. In order to maintain this warranty we ask that you utilize this service once every 12 months as inspections may help prevent the loss of a stone and extend the life of your jewelry.
Sizing Guide
- If you are unsure of your ring size, request a complimentary at-home ring sizer to assist you with finding your perfect fit.
- Gifted or purchased the wrong size? We have resizing for that. Simply email hello@tanthonyjewelers.com for assistance and more information.
- We offer the first resizing of any T. Anthony Jewelers engagement ring as a complimentary service within 6 months of purchase. Any additional resizing will be subject to a charge.
- We do not recommend resizing eternity bands as it can damage the integrity of the ring
- Sizing tips: Engagement rings should fit comfortably but snugly. The ring should slide on easily but take a good tug to get off. If your ring slides on and off without any effort or is uncomfortably tight, it likely needs to be resized.
- Many temporary factors impact the size of our fingers like heat, cold, salt intake, weight loss, pregnancy. We recommend confirming your ring size over time. Consider these factors as you decide to size your ring as each sizing can negatively impact the integrity of your ring.
