Care Guide

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the Goldstone glass cabochon and stainless steel components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the glass or tarnish the stainless steel.
  • Cabochon Care: Since the 12mm Goldstone cabochons are glued to the stainless steel cufflink base, handle the cufflinks carefully to prevent excessive pressure or impact that could weaken the bond.
  • Storage: Store the cufflinks in a soft pouch or separate compartment when not in use to avoid contact with other items that may scratch or damage the glass or metal.
  • In Case the Cabochon Detaches: If the cabochon comes off, use a strong jewelry adhesive, such as E6000 or a two-part epoxy, to reattach it. Follow the glue manufacturer’s instructions carefully, ensuring that both the cabochon and the cufflink base are clean and free from any debris before applying the adhesive.
  • Repairs: If you’re unsure about reattaching the cabochon, it’s best to consult a professional jeweler for assistance.
