Our plating process ensures a thick and long-lasting layer, providing a beautiful finish that resists fading.

Each stone is carefully selected for its color, clarity, and brilliance, creating captivating pieces that sparkle with every movement.

Jewelry Care Tips
It is common in the jewelry industry for crystals, pearls, and some artificial gemstones to come loose or fall off. In many cases, gemstone jewelry is adhered using adhesive. Improper storage or wearing can lead to a shorter lifespan for the gemstones and an increased risk of them coming loose. If they do come off, they will need to be reattached using adhesive.
To minimize the occurrence of loose or fallen gemstones, it is important to follow these guidelines:
Proper Storage: Store your jewelry in a dedicated compartment or a soft pouch to prevent contact with other pieces that may cause damage. Avoid exposing your jewelry to excessive heat, moisture, or direct sunlight, as these factors can weaken the adhesive over time.Gentle Handling: Handle your jewelry with care, especially when putting it on or taking it off. Avoid pulling or tugging on any loose gemstones, as this can further loosen them or cause them to detach completely.
Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect your jewelry for any signs of loose gemstones or damage. If you notice any issues, such as a loose stone or weakened adhesive, it is recommended to have it repaired by a professional jeweler to prevent further damage or loss.
Professional Maintenance: Consider having your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected by a jeweler at regular intervals. They can ensure that the gemstones are securely set and make any necessary repairs or adjustments.
By following these guidelines, you can help maintain the integrity and longevity of your gemstone jewelry and minimize the risk of stones becoming loose or falling off. However, it is important to note that even with proper care, gemstones may occasionally require maintenance or repair due to natural wear and tear.
By following these simple care tips, you can help preserve the beauty and quality of your La Clair Jewelry pieces for years to come. Should you have any specific questions or concerns regarding the care of your jewelry, feel free to reach out to our customer support team for assistance.
