Jewellery Care
Jewellery is meant to be cherished, and with proper care, your pieces can last for years to come. Here’s how to keep them in their best condition:
Gentle Care for Silver & Solid Gold Jewellery
- Handle with care – Use a light touch when putting on or removing jewellery to avoid unnecessary strain on delicate clasps and chains.
- Avoid moisture & chemicals – Keep jewellery away from lotions, perfumes, and acidic solutions, as these may affect its shine and durability.
- Proper storage – Store your jewellery in a dry, non-humid place, such as a jewellery pouch, to prevent tarnishing and maintain longevity.
- Prevent snags & breakage – Be mindful not to get jewellery caught on clothing, as this may damage clasps or cause chains to break. If this happens, gently remove the fabric rather than tugging on the piece.
Cleaning routine
-
- Solid gold jewellery: While it is durable for daily wear, clean it at least once a week with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly to maintain its shine.
- Sterling silver based jewellery: Use the anti-tarnish / silver polishing cloth provided to gently polish and restore its lustre. When not wearing for extended periods, store in a ziplock bag to prevent tarnishing.
- Avoid wearing jewellery in the shower – While solid gold can withstand water, frequent exposure may dull its shine. For both demi-fine and fine jewellery, it’s best to remove them before showering or swimming.
Caring for Gemstones
- Be mindful of impact – Even though gemstones like moissanite and diamonds are durable, they can still chip or scratch if struck against a hard surface. Handle them with care.
- Keep gemstones clean – Dirt, oil, and residue can reduce their brilliance. Gently clean with a soft toothbrush, warm soapy water, and a microfiber cloth to maintain their sparkle.
- Store separately – Gemstones can scratch each other, so store them individually in soft pouches or lined jewellery boxes to prevent damage.
- Avoid extreme temperatures – Sudden temperature changes can cause fractures in some natural gemstones. Remove jewellery before hot baths, saunas, or exposure to extreme cold.
