Jewellery Care

We recommend the following to keep your jewellery in beautiful, sparkling condition:

Wipe gemstones with a clean, soft cotton cloth;
Clean silver pieces regularly with a silver polishing cloth to prevent tarnishing;
Ask a professional jeweller to clean very dirty pieces;
Store your jewellery individually, wrapped in a soft cloth or tissue;
Wipe pearls with a damp cloth after use to keep lustre;
Enjoy wearing your jewellery, inspect it regularly, keep it clean and maintained, and it will last for years!

Have a bath, shower or clean wearing your jewellery. Even gold can develop a soapy film;
Wear jewellery in a swimming pool or Jacuzzi. The chlorine in the water will erode the metal;
Sleep or do physical activities with your jewellery on! Metal and gemstones can react to the salts and acids in perspiration;
Wear your jewellery when spraying perfume or applying body lotions, hairspray etc. They will damage the metal and gemstones;
Use harsh cleaners (silver dip, hot solutions or abrasives) on jewellery set with gemstones;
Store jewellery unprotected and jumbled together. The contact will damage the metal and stones;
Leave silver jewellery on a wood surface. Woods frequently contain acids that react to the metal and cause discoloration and tarnish;
Store jewellery in a damp environment. Moisture causes tarnish and corrosion;
Wash pearls with hot water or acid containing solution. It will destroy them.
