Jewellery Care Guide

Caring for your jewellery ensures it remains beautiful for years to come. Each material has its own character and deserves a little special attention.

IMPORTANT - It is always advisable to remove all jewellery before swimming, showering or using cleaning products to preserve its finish and longevity.

Sterling Silver

• Store silver in a dry, airtight pouch or box to reduce tarnish.
• Polish gently with a soft silver cloth to restore its shine.
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners.

Solid Gold

• Clean with warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush.
• Dry thoroughly and buff with a lint-free cloth.
• Keep separate from other pieces to prevent scratches.

Precious & Semi-Precious Gemstones

• Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wear to remove oils and dust.
• Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, direct sunlight, and sudden temperature changes.
• Store individually to prevent scratching or chipping.

Lab & Mined Diamonds

• Diamonds may be strong, but they can still scratch other jewellery—store separately.
• Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush to keep brilliance.
• Regular professional checks are recommended to ensure settings remain secure.

Pearls

• Pearls are delicate and thrive when worn but should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.
• Avoid perfumes, hairspray, and cosmetics coming into contact with them.
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wear and store in a fabric pouch, never airtight.
