    CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

    Each piece of Keith Jack jewelry you purchase will have a complimentary cleaning cloth in the box under the black pad.

    • To remove oils and dirt, wipe your jewelry with a silver polishing cloth or the Keith Jack polishing cloth that was provided.

    • Never use a silver cleaning liquid on jewelry with any areas that are oxidized (darker in color). The silver cleaning liquid will strip away the finish. Silver liquid cleaners are fine to use for silver jewelry that does not have a darkened, oxidized background. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions before using silver polish.

    • Do not apply perfumes, lotions, aftershave or chemicals while wearing jewelry.

    • Remove your jewelry before sleeping or doing physical activities to avoid causing excess friction and stress on it.

    • To avoid tarnishing and discoloration, remove jewelry before swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs.

    • RAW DIAMOND COLLECTION -  Your raw diamond piece is made with natural diamonds; each one is unique.
    • Use the complimentary cleaning cloth provided to lightly polish your jewelry. Do not apply perfumes, lotions, aftershave or chemicals while wearing jewelry. 
    • Never use a silver cleaning solution. Excessive moisture will cause tarnishing behind the diamonds, avoid getting your piece wet.

    The Luckenbooth is a traditional Scottish piece of jewelry, made since the 17th century by jewelers in its capital city of Edinburgh.

    It is believed that the Luckenbooth protects nursing mothers and their babies from the curse of the “evil eye”. This curse, conjured by witches, was believed by old Scots to cause misfortune and bad luck. Wearing a shining Luckenbooth was enough to ward it off while walking down the streets of Edinburgh.

    Till this day, Scots use it as a love token for their loved ones or to gift first-journey mothers. Many jewelers in Edinburgh still craft it, maintaining a tradition passed on from father to son.

    But you don’t need to go to Scotland to get one (although we recommend the trip). You can get a handmade Luckenbooth delivered to your home at Keith Jack’s online shop.

    Dragonfly ring

    The dragonflies were believed to be fairies in ancient folk tales. And till this day in Scotland and Ireland, many elders tell this story to enchant their grandchildren as they search for dragonflies in their garden and the great outdoors.

    Dragonflies have been roaming this Earth for over 300 million years (even before the dinosaurs) and live on till this day in swamps, ponds, and creeks.

    And this Dragonfly ring in sterling silver has a Celtic knot of dark rhodium, which symbolizes the eternity of this majestic insect and its interconnectedness with nature as a whole.
