cleaning

To keep your Fauna Hepburn jewelry looking beautiful, we recommend that you clean it regularly.
The type of stone differs depending on the type of stone.
For stones that are professionally cleaned at Fauna Hepburn, we recommend that you request cleaning once a year.

[Cleaning by stone]
◆Diamond jewelry Make a cleaning solution by adding a small amount of liquid neutral detergent to lukewarm water. Soak your diamond jewelery in it for a few minutes to 10 minutes and gently brush with a soft bristle brush. After rinsing it with clean warm water, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. If dullness or dirt is strong, it will be easier to remove dirt by soaking for a longer time such as 30 minutes.

However, if a material such as mother-of-pearl that is weak against moisture is set, wipe it off with a dry cloth.

◆It is the same cleaning as sapphire jewelry and diamond jewelry.

◆Mother-of-pearl is very susceptible to heat and moisture, so please wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. The best wiping cloth is a pearl-specific one. Due to the characteristics of the stone, cleaning other than wiping is impossible even by a professional.
For this reason, Fauna Hepburn will replace the mother-of-pearl part for a fee if it becomes dull due to insufficient use or maintenance over time.

stone properties

◆Diamonds While diamonds have extremely high hardness and toughness, they are also oleophilic, so they are easily absorbed by oil and form an oil film on the diamond surface.

Sweat, sebum, hand cream, cosmetics, etc. prevent the light, which is important for brilliance, from entering the diamond, making it dull.
However, due to its nature, it is resistant to moisture, so it is possible to maintain its shine forever by cleaning it at the right time and with the right method.


◆Sapphire Sapphire has properties similar to those of diamond. Therefore, the care method is the same as diamond.

◆Mother-of-Pearl Like pearl, it is made of organic material, so it is very weak against heat and water, and may discolor if exposed to UV rays for a long time or left in a humid place.
We strongly recommend that you wear it after completing all preparations such as makeup and sunscreen.
