Care

Jewelry Care Instructions

• While we manufacture and hold our jewelry to the highest standards, it may still be damaged through heavy use and therefore should be treated with real care.

• As a general rule, your jewelry should be the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you take off when you get home. Make it a ritual.

• We recommend taking your jewelry off before activities that could cause severe impact, friction or exposure to harmful chemicals. I.e. working out, cleaning, gardening, base jumping...

• Avoid any contact with household chemicals or cosmetics as they often contain substances that cause discoloration of the jewelry.

• Diamonds, while known for their superpower strength, are not indestructible and can still be chipped or cracked when they come into contact with other hard surfaces. Take care to avoid any severe impacts by storing your items individually in the box or pouch that it came in. When stored together, pieces can bump into one another and cause scratches that are not easily removed.

• Our 18K white gold is plated with white rhodium: a precious metal of high luster that emphasizes the bright white finish of the metal. Over time, this plating will wear off to expose the yellow-white finish of the 18K white gold. Many people choose to continue wearing their jewelry in its evolved state. Alternatively, you may choose to have a fresh coat of white rhodium applied to the piece by a professional jeweler.

• A professional cleaning is recommended once per year. In between cleanings, we encourage you to soak your jewelry in a gold-specific cleaning solution. After soaking, be sure to thoroughly dry the piece to prevent tarnish. We do not recommend the use of an at-home ultrasonic type machine as they can cause damage to the piece. If you do decide to use this type of thing, please limit the time to 1-2 minutes.

Warranty and Returns

All Aether pieces come with a 12-month warranty for manufacturing defects. A receipt and inspection by our professional jewelers are required, and if it’s deemed a manufacturing defect, we’ll repair or replace it free of charge. If the issue is not a manufacturing defect, we will provide a quote for the necessary repair to get your piece back to its best self.
