Jewelry Care

Jewelry is meant to be worn, but a little care goes a long way! Here are some tips to keep your pieces looking their best.

Protect Your Jewelry

Precious metals and stones are not indestructible. Chemical and physical stress can damage them over time.

Know When to Take It Off

We recommend removing your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying lotion, perfume, or hairspray.

Don't Sleep in Your Jewelry

Avoid sleeping in jewelry, especially delicate pieces like earrings and fine chains, which can stretch, bend, or tangle overnight.

Store Pieces Separately

When storing your jewelry, lay pieces flat and separately, and clasp necklaces to prevent knotting.

Give Delicate Materials Extra Care

Extra caution is needed for delicate materials like pearls, opals, emeralds, turquoise, and enamel. These materials are more porous or fragile and should never come into contact with chemicals, abrasives, or solvents.

About the Astrolabe Collection

“I want the wearer to feel connected to the cosmos. I want them to feel as though they are a piece of the whole—an element of something magical that permits them to be a significant part of the story of the universe as it unfolds: a composer, an alchemist, a catcher of heavenly bodies.”

Viviana Langhoff

The work you see in this collection is a reflection of the cosmos, and each piece is a glimmering facet of the universe. Viewing the collection as a whole is to witness a map of the stars unfolding. The sacred geometry implied between each elegant curve and carefully placed diamond is enhanced even more by the shapes refracted by light passing through and reflecting on top of each stone. The work aims to elicit that same majestic awe you receive when gazing up at the night sky, illuminated by the moon and stars.

The Astrolabe is just that, A mariner’s attempt to capture the universe and instrumentalize a series of shifting plates- not just to understand the cosmos, but to understand their location in relation to it. The Astrolabe collection features celestial treasures in rich high polished 14k yellow gold set with a galaxy of black, white, and champagne diamond stars. Etched star paths and serpentine lines are meticulously hand-worked into each piece.
