Care Instructions: taking care of your gold jewels

Congratulations on choosing a sustainable piece: gold is a precious metal which can last a lifetime. You can also completely recycle it by having it melted into a new jewel created if you want to change style. Here are our Care Instructions.

A few tips on how to maintain your gold piece’s strength and brilliance :

1. Even if it will miss you, your jewel will be better left on your bedside table at night.

2. Your jewel prefers to avoid creams and perfumes: put it after getting ready. 

3. Your jewel is not afraid of water,but prefers to stay dry (and trying to get your ring back in the shower drain is never ideal ;)). 

Air pollution, dust and daily wear can dull the surface of your jewelry. 

Clean it in 4 easy steps: 

  • Soak your jewel in a little bowl of lukewarm water and gentle hand soap. 
  • Let it rest for a few minutes, which will allow to remove the traces and the accumulated dust. 
  • Complete the cleaning with a soft toothbrush.
  • Wash it in clear water and dry it with a soft wipe.

Be gentle when cleaning, particularly around the prongs if your jewel features precious stones.

Avoid water entirely for gems secured without prongs, such as pearls secured with glue.  

Water and temperature changes can cause the glue to break down and induce gem loss.

In this case, it is wiser to choose professional cleaning. 

Care Instructions: taking care of your silver jewels

Unlike gold, the silver naturally tarnishes as a result of exposure to air and humidity. It is also a metal that is more fragile. 

How to take care and how to avoid the oxidation of your silver jewels:

  • When you do not wear them, keep your silver jewels in an air-tight box or pouch to avoid any extended contact with air, humidity or light. 
  • When you see a slight oxidation, gently rub the metal with a silver jewelry cleaning cloth.
  • If your jewels are extensively tarnished, a liquid silver cleaner will offer them a new life.
  • The chlorine accelerates the silver tarnishing process, so don’t put your silver pieces when living your best life in the pool.

Create the jewel that is truly yours

Some jewelry you buy, and some you create.

An engagement ring imagined together, a pendant that carries a family story, a piece designed to mark a moment that matters — bespoke creation is the art of turning an idea, a memory, or a wish into a jewel that exists nowhere else.

Handcrafted right here in Brussels, every bespoke piece is born from a real conversation between you and me.

How it works

We meet

We meet online are we make an appointment at the showroom in Schaerbeek (Bruxelles) — over a coffee, we talk about your idea, even if it's still a little vague. That's often where the magic starts: a wish becomes a project.


We imagine it together
I'll propose directions, sketches, materials. We adjust, we refine, until the piece truly feels like you — not just any piece, yours.


We choose materials with meaning


  • Fairmined gold — ethical, traceable gold, a piece that means something from the very start.
  • Your gold — that chain you no longer wear, a grandmother's wedding band, earrings forgotten in a drawer: I can give them a second life, a new story to be worn.
  • Lab-grown diamonds — beautiful, luminous, responsible.
  • Your own stones — a family stone, a cherished memory: we find its place in your creation.
  • Bespoke sourcing — you have a specific stone in mind? I will source it for you.


The piece comes to life
Handcrafted here in Brussels, with the same care as every Aurore Havenne piece.


The moment you receive it
A one-of-a-kind jewel, made for you, ready to become part of your story.
