Rings aren’t infinitely sizable. Ask your jeweler how far up or down your favorite can go.

It doesn’t matter if it’s your birthstone or if you have an emotional attachment to it, opal is not suitable for an engagement ring.

To advise: There is no correlation between how much you paid for a piece of jewelry and the conditions under which you can wear it without causing damage to it.

The holidays will soon be upon us. Don’t put it off - have your fine jewelry professionally cleaned and checked now. (Believe me, it needs a good cleaning.)

If you wear your jewelry to the gym, I’ll see you at the repair shop.

Don’t swim while wearing your fine jewelry. Chlorine can slowly do hidden damage to the karat gold, making it brittle. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The satellite that watches the eastern United States for storms went blind for 20 hours in July. NOAA cannot yet say why. Its backup sits weeks away from taking over. This is what a warning system looks like after the people who ran it were cut and its research arm marked for the axe.

Contrary to the assumptions held by many jewelry lovers, there are limits to how far rings can be sized up or down. If you’re interested in sizing your rings, ask your jeweler for advice on the limits to which they can safely be sized.

The coveted jewels in the collections of numerous royal families have survived for centuries in part because the royals DON’T WEAR THEM TO THE GYM!!! Just sayin’. #FineJewelry

Want your fine jewelry to last? Stop wearing it to the gym, to bed or to the beach, and treat it like the precious possession it is. Otherwise…

How is your gold ring like a tire? Just the way rubber wears away from your tires when you drive, gold wears away from your ring as you wear it. Have your prongs checked regularly to ensure your gemstones are secure, and ask your jeweler about the best ways to take care of your fine jewelry.

If you’re wearing any of your fine jewelry while you’re at the gym, you’re doing it wrong.
