CARING FOR YOUR JEWELLERY
Jewellery is an investment in style. Proper care ensures it retains its finish, structure, and brilliance over time.
01 — Why Jewellery Requires Proper Care
Understanding What Affects Its Finish
Everyday exposure impacts your jewellery more than you realise.
• Sweat contains salts that affect plating
• Perfume and lotions contain chemicals that react with metal
• Moisture causes oxidation
• Friction leads to surface scratches
Knowing the cause helps prevent the damage.
02 — Daily Care Essentials
Simple Habits That Make a Significant Difference
Small routines protect long-term quality.
• Wear jewellery after perfume and makeup
• Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising
• Avoid direct contact with lotions and sanitizers
• Gently wipe with a soft cloth after each wear
• Store separately to prevent scratches
Consistency preserves shine.
03 — How to Store Jewellery Properly
Where and How You Store Determines Longevity
Incorrect storage is one of the biggest causes of damage.
• Store pieces individually in soft pouches
• Keep chains laid flat to prevent tangling
• Avoid humid areas such as bathrooms
• Use a lined jewellery box to reduce friction
Dry, separate, and protected — always.
04 — Safe Cleaning Methods
How to Clean Without Causing Damage
Cleaning should be gentle, not aggressive.
- Use lukewarm water with mild soap
- Clean softly with a lint-free cloth or soft brush
- Rinse lightly
- Dry completely before storing
Avoid harsh chemicals, toothpaste, or abrasive materials.
05 — Special Care for Plated Jewellery
Understanding Natural Wear Over Time
Plated jewellery requires mindful handling.
• Plating may fade gradually with wear
• Water and sweat accelerate fading
• Avoid sleeping in jewellery
• Rotate pieces instead of daily overuse
With proper care, finish longevity improves significantly.
06 — What To Avoid
Common Mistakes That Reduce Lifespan
Avoid these completely:
✘ Swimming with jewellery
✘ Spraying perfume directly on metal
✘ Storing pieces tangled together
✘ Using chemical cleaners
✘ Leaving jewellery in humid environments
Prevention is always easier than restoration.
Caring for your jewellery
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it suitable to wear my jewellery on a daily basis?
Yes, our jewellery is crafted for regular wear. That said, it’s advisable to remove it during activities such as exercising, swimming, or household cleaning, as impact, sweat, and chemicals may gradually cause damage.
Is it safe to keep my jewellery on while showering?
We recommend taking off your jewellery before showering, particularly gold and silver pieces. Soap residue and constant exposure to shampoos or body washes can create buildup and reduce the shine over time.
How frequently does jewellery need to be cleaned?
Cleaning your jewellery every few weeks helps maintain its appearance. Items worn daily, like rings or bracelets, may require more frequent cleaning since they collect dirt, oils, and residue faster.
What is the most effective method for cleaning gold jewellery?
Gold jewellery can be cleaned using warm water mixed with a mild dish soap. Let it soak briefly, gently brush with a soft-bristled brush, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a soft cloth.
What is the proper way to clean silver jewellery?
To remove tarnish, use a dedicated silver polishing cloth. For a deeper cleanse, wash it with mild soap and warm water, gently brush if needed, then rinse and dry completely with a soft cloth.
Do gemstones require a different cleaning method compared to metal pieces?
Yes, gemstones often require extra care as they can be more delicate than metal settings. Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, and avoid strong chemicals that might harm the stone or loosen its setting.
What is the correct way to care for and clean pearl jewellery?
After wearing, gently wipe pearls with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface oils. Do not soak them in water or use chemical cleaners. Store them in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
What is the ideal way to store jewellery to keep it safe?
Keep your jewellery in a cool, dry space, ideally inside a soft pouch or a jewellery box with individual compartments. This helps prevent scratching, tangling, and tarnishing caused by moisture.
How should jewellery be packed and stored during travel?
When travelling, place your jewellery in a compact case with separate sections or soft pouches to prevent movement and damage. Ensure it stays dry and protected from humidity throughout your trip.
