What is the best way to care for Anna Zuckerman jewelry?

AZ Jewelry Care

At AZ, we believe your jewelry should be as enduring as it is beautiful. To protect its brilliance and craftsmanship, we recommend the following care rituals:

  • Store with Intention
    When not being worn, place each piece in its own soft pouch to prevent tangling, scratching, or impact. Treat each piece as you would a treasured keepsake.
  • Clean Gently, Shine Naturally
    Maintain your jewelry’s radiance with warm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush. Avoid commercial dips or abrasive cloths—opt instead for a lint-free polishing cloth to enhance its natural shine.
  • Wear with Care
    Jewelry should be the final touch to your look—put it on after dressing and remove it first when undressing. This helps protect against exposure to makeup, fabric friction, and accidental snags.
  • Protect from Water & Chemicals
    Before swimming, bathing, cleaning, or applying beauty products, remove your jewelry. Saltwater, chlorine, and even everyday lotions can dull or damage fine materials over time.
  • Mindful Movement
    Remove your pieces—especially rings—during workouts or any activity involving heavy lifting or direct contact with metal surfaces. This helps prevent wear and long-term damage.

By treating your AZ jewelry with care, you’re honoring the detail, design, and artistry behind every piece—ensuring it remains part of your story for years to come.

How to Care for Your Eternity Bands

Jewelry Care Guide: 10 Essentials to Protect Your Piece

Your eternity band is more than jewelry—it’s a symbol, a keepsake, and a finely crafted piece meant to last a lifetime. Yet even the most durable designs are vulnerable to everyday wear. We've seen firsthand how daily habits can loosen stones or warp metal. These 10 expert-backed tips will help you protect your ring—and keep it as brilliant as the day you received it.

  • Use Your Knuckles, Not Your Palm
    Train yourself to use your middle knuckles when lifting or gripping. This reduces pressure on the stones and keeps the metal from bending. A relaxed, open grip can make a big difference.
  • Remove During Daily Chores
    Take your ring off before cooking, cleaning, or showering. Soap, oils, and grime build up quickly, dulling your ring's sparkle and weakening settings over time.
  • Avoid Handling Heavy Bags
    When traveling, lift luggage and carry-on items with your free hand to protect your ring from unnecessary pressure or impact.
  • Be Mindful on Vacation
    Salt, sand, chlorine, and sunscreen can be harsh on fine jewelry. Leave your ring in a safe place before heading to the beach or pool.
  • Open Packages Gently
    Rough unboxing or pulling on tape can scratch your ring or loosen its stones. Take a moment to remove your ring first.
  • Watch Out for Doorknobs
    Repeated contact with doorknobs can warp delicate bands or wear down prongs. Be mindful when turning handles, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • Stack Smartly
    Not all rings are created equal. If stacking, use a slim spacer band to prevent friction between styles and protect exposed stones.
  • Remove Before Moving Furniture
    Lifting, shifting, or assembling furniture can put serious stress on your ring. Take it off beforehand to avoid accidental damage.
  • Skip the Applause (Seriously)
    Clapping may seem harmless, but repeated impact—especially with multiple rings—can chip stones or distort bands.
  • Wear with Care, Maintain with Intention
    Your eternity band is made for everyday elegance, but like all fine jewelry, it benefits from regular checkups and a little TLC. Clean gently, store safely, and bring it in for professional maintenance as needed.

Protect the beauty. Preserve the meaning.
Follow these tips, and your AZ eternity band will remain a brilliant part of your life story for years to come.
