- Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning on sensitive stones (e.g., pearls)

FAQ
Is Renaissance the same as Cable Classics?
No. Renaissance emphasizes gemstone-forward designs and mixed-metal ornamentation, while Cable Classics centers the cable form itself.
Can I stack Renaissance with other DY collections?
Yes—Renaissance plays beautifully with Cable Classics, Albion, and modern DY silhouettes for mixed textures and colors.
How do I choose between silver and two-tone?
If you prefer cool minimalism, go sterling. For warmth and classic contrast, choose two-tone with 18K yellow gold details.
