Jewelry Designed to Live In
If you're familiar with HAVERHILL, you know that we design everyday jewelry – pieces you can truly live in.
What does that mean, exactly? It means we understand that fine jewelry isn't meant to be hidden away for a special occasion, it's meant to be worn. To become a part of you. To be enjoyed every day. We handcraft delicate yet durable jewelry you can wear while sleeping, swimming, sweating, and showering. You never have to take it off.
Our infinitely wearable jewelry is seasonless, too. You can wear our pieces to the pool and the beach, while playing sports, or just catching some backyard rays. We create lightweight, comfortable designs that you forget you have on – meaningful pieces you want to keep on.

Durable Gold Jewelry
The secret to our long-lasting jewelry is the use of high quality, durable materials.
We proudly use solid 14k gold in all our jewelry, so it doesn't tarnish or turn color on the skin. Pure (24k) gold is too soft to be used in most jewelry, so other metals are added to it, creating an alloy (a mix of elements) that strengthens the gold without sacrificing its color, luster, or beauty. Fourteen-karat gold is strong and more scratch resistant, making it ideal for everyday wear.
Yellow gold (which looks great on every skin tone) is usually mixed with copper and silver, for a beautiful warm hue. White gold is mixed with silver-toned metals such as zinc and nickel.. All HAVERHILL jewelry is available in your choice of yellow or white gold.
Jewelry isn't meant to be hidden away, it's meant to be worn.
Wearable Birthstones
Another component of our jewelry is, of course, birthstones. Fortunately, most gemstones rate high on the Mohs hardness scale (developed to measure stones' ability to withstand scratches).
HAVERHILL uses both mined and sustainably grown birthstones, which are created in a lab. The growth of laboratory gems mimics their formation in nature These gems share all the chemical, physical, and optical properties of naturally mined stones, with outstanding color and excellent durability. We love them because they're gentle on the earth and are beautifully consistent in color.
Caring for Your Jewelry
Your jewelry for everyday wear needs minimal care. Follow these common-sense tips for keeping your jewelry in good repair:
• Store jewelry in its pouch or box to keep the gems from being scratched.
• Remove rings before lifting weights or other heavy objects, which can cause the band to get scratched or even bent.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to chlorinated water (an occasional dip is fine).
Maintain the beauty of your jewelry by keeping it clean. Use a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner or mild, dye-free dish soap and water. Let the jewelry soak in a small bowl for a few minutes, then brush gently with a soft toothbrush. Be sure to rinse it completely, and blot dry with a chamois cloth.
While you don't have to remove your jewelry every time you wash your hands or apply lotion, be aware that, over time, products can build up on your jewelry, dulling its shine (especially true for light-colored gems such as White Topaz and Aquamarine). If you notice that your jewelry isn't as shiny as usual, you may want to clean it more often.

Tip: After a day outdoors, give your jewelry a quick wipe with a soft cloth to remove any sunscreen, lotion, mosquito repellent, or fragrance you may have applied.
We use only one gemstone that needs a little extra TLC – Turquoise. This vibrant blue stone is porous, meaning it can absorb the chemicals in lotions, creams, and perfumes, which may cause its color to change. Remove your Turquoise jewelry before applying anything that could be absorbed by the stone. Avoid wearing it in water, keep it away from extreme heat, and be sure not to strike it against hard surfaces. Never clean Turquoise with harsh jewelry cleaners, or in an ultrasonic cleaner.

Living in Necklaces
Everyone loves a good necklace. Styled, as they are, so close to the face, necklaces get plenty of attention. Simply clasp your favorite pieces around your neck and go about your day.
Necklaces are so popular that many women like to wear several at a time. There are many creative ways to layer them. For a chic layered look, try these tips:
• Wear necklaces of different lengths. If there's at least a two-inch length difference between each piece, they'll be less likely to tangle, and each necklace will be more visible.
• When wearing necklaces with a pendant, put the pendant on a longer chain so it sits below the other pieces (it'll stand out more).
• Strand necklaces and bar necklaces are especially flattering when worn at the collarbone.
• To keep necklaces from tangling while you sleep, wear no more than two at a time.

Tips for detangling necklaces:
• If there's a knot in the chain, try applying a tiny drop of mineral oil, then use two straight pins to work the knot apart. The oil lubricates the chain links so that they don't get caught on each other.
• Necklaces get tangled while you slept? First, pull back your hair so that it's not caught in the chains. Then gently move your fingers along the necklaces to separate them.

Living in Bracelets
Bracelets are wonderful in their variety – they can be quiet and understated, bold and playful. They're always in our line of sight, meaning we can enjoy their appearance on our wrists as much as everyone else. And, of course, they look fantastic when worn in layers. Unlike necklaces, bracelets rarely get tangled together, so you can wear two, three, or more knowing they're going to look great all day.

Wondering how best to layer your birthstone bracelets and chains? The key is contrast. Juxtapose colors, sizes, and textures to create a look that's visually captivating:
• For variety in texture, try wearing bracelets with different chains (think classic cable and a paperclip chain).
• Pair a close-fitting bracelet with a couple of looser ones.
• Mix sizes: try a single large stone next to a strand of smaller gems.
• Anchor your fashion-forward bracelets with a sentimental piece.
• Layer all-gold bracelets with a gemstone piece for a pop of color.

Living in Rings
Rings are some of the most sentimental jewelry we own. Engagement rings, wedding rings, mother's rings – they all mean something special. And, of course, rings are a great way to express your personality. Glancing at a favorite gem, glowing on a golden band, can be a quiet pleasure you enjoy throughout the day. Rings stack wonderfully, too. Bands and solitaires can be mixed and matched to great effect.

Love the look of rings? Try these tips:
• When stacking rings, three is a magic number. A solitaire between two Rosecliff bands, or three together, make a memorable statement.
• Pair a bold ring on one finger with more understated pieces on the other fingers.
• Try wearing a slim Rosecliff band on your index finger.
• For a balanced look, wear your largest ring on your ring finger or middle finger.
• Diamond rings are truly timeless, and add a touch of sparkle to your look.

Living in Earrings
Earrings can not only add a pop of color to the face, they're supremely easy to wear. Small earrings, especially, are comfortable enough to sleep in. Best of all, a chic pair of earrings can make us feel dressed, even when we're just lounging in our favorite yoga pants.

Many people today have multiple ear piercings, giving them lots of styling options. A few suggestions:
• Statement earrings make a bigger impact when worn by themselves.
• When wearing multiple pairs of stud earrings, try arranging them so that the largest pair is on your earlobes, with smaller pairs worn above.
• A classic layered look: drop earrings (or huggy hoops) worn on the earlobe, with a pair of studs worn above.
