Jewellery Care

Caring For Your Jewellery

Protect 

Remove jewellery before:

• Swimming, bathing washing hands.
• Applying personal products such as perfume, hairspray and lotions.
• Entering a steam room or sauna.
• Cooking, gardening.

Avoid

• Chlorinated water - the chemicals can permanently damage metals and gemstones and pearls.
• Personal care and household products - these products contain chemicals that can dull metal finishes and make stones appear dingy.
• Impact - All jewellery should be handled with care to avoid hitting or dropping your jewellery against a hard surface.

Store

• To prevent scratching or tangling, store each of your pieces separately and in its own pouch.
• Store silver pieces in an air tight bag to prevent tarnishing. Small zip lock plastic bags work well for this.
• Store your jewellery in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Clean

• To clean your pieces at home, submerge jewellery in a solution of warm water and a detergent free soap. Let soak for a few minutes.
• Gently scrub out lotion and dirt with a very soft brush. Rinse with clear water and pat dry.
• Pearls should not be submerged in water or scrubbed with any brush; instead, wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
• A polishing cloth can be used on the shiny areas of your jewellery to maintain its high polish finish.
