CLEANING YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING

Regularly cleaning your ring and all jewelry is an important part to maintaining its quality. Oils, dirt, sanitizers, and hand soaps can build up on the ring, which not only can dull its shine and sparkle but in some cases may damage the precious metal and gemstones.

While there are many DIY jewelry cleaners, it is always best to bring your ring to Anne Dale’s your local jeweler for expert care and advice when it comes to cleaning fine jewelry. Having your ring polished and professionally cleaned is well worth your time for peace of mind.

Do

  • Avoid wearing your ring while swimming.

  • Take your ring off when you go to sleep at night.

  • Remove your ring when using harsh chemicals, especially bleach and choline products.

Don’t

  • Do not use hand sanitizers with less than 60% alcohol.

  • Do not wear your ring while using harsh chemical cleaners.

  • Should not be worn when doing strenuous activities.

Quick Tip

It is a good habit to apply perfumes, lotions, makeup and like items before putting on your ring — helping to keep the ring cleaner longer.

We Moved !

Anne Dale Jewelers Storefront

MANDEVILLE  – After more than 23 years we moved our iconic business, the Anne Dale’s jewelry store moved into a newly remodeled, retail commercial condominium at 829 Asbury Drive in Mandeville.

The local jewelry store relocated all its sparkle, moving one mile north where the Service Road meets Asbury Drive, an address familiar to many of its regular customers: 829 Asbury Drive, Mandeville by Speedway Printing, The Arm Merchant and next door to The Pineapple Gallery.

New Jewelry Store

Anne Dale Jewelers has been seeking to relocate for sometime, according to Anne Dale. When the opportunity to own our location, in close proximity to the old spot presented itself with Highway 190 exposure, we acted fast to acquire the property.

The 829 Asbury Drive, Suite 1 was nearly perfect with minimal changes required to accommodate a fine jewelry store. While the space was slightly narrower, it was much deeper allowing about 30% more jewelry shop space.

Much has changed since 1999, when the Dale family first opened its jewelry store doors in Mandeville. Today, fewer people visit the Post Office on St Ann, the street traffic has become horrific, the limited parking lot along with the aging mechanicals in the building also factored into the move. We didn’t see ourselves as a typical strip mall jewelry store,” Dale said. “By owning our new location that dynamic changes allowing for investment in the property.     

“It proved to be a great partnership with our new neighbors and we’ve gained a lot of new customers using Asbury Drive and Highway 190 visibility.” Anne Dale said.

Terri Hamilton owner at Pineapple Gallery, said that Anne Dale’s is a natural fit for the shopping center, located in one of the most affluent residential areas in Mandeville.

“Even though we moved we still have everything from the other store, we just tighten up wasted space,” Anne’s husband Michael Dale said. “We are blessed to feel right at home in our new store and welcome all.”
