Storage
Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. We would recommend investing in a jewellery box with compartments or a hanging organiser to prevent pieces from getting tangled or scratched. Storing more delicate pieces like chains or soft stones in separately to minimize friction.
Cleaning
Over time, your jewellery may accumulate dirt, oils, and other residues from everyday wear. To maintain its brilliance, most items can be gently cleaned with a soft, non-abrasive cloth after each use. For a deeper clean, you can use a mild soap diluted in lukewarm water. Please note that this will not be appropriate for some pieces such as those with soft gemstones. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can cause damage to metal and stones.
Gemstone Care
Gemstones, while resilient, may require specific care depending on their type. Some stones, such as opals and turquoise are more susceptible to damage from moisture, chemicals and damage. To preserve their natural beauty, avoid exposing these stones to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or prolonged sunlight. Additionally, periodically inspect gemstone settings to ensure stones are secure.
Silver Care
Sterling silver jewellery will naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. To remove tarnish and restore its luster, gently polish your silver pieces with a silver polishing cloth or a specifically formulated silver polish. Be mindful not to over polish, as excessive rubbing can cause wear on delicate designs or patinas.
Wear with Care
While our jewellery is crafted to last you a long time, it's still essential to handle your pieces with care and to avoid unnecessary stress or damage. Remove jewellery before engaging in activities such as household chores, exercising, bathing and even sleeping as these activities can expose your pieces to potential damage or loss
Maintenance
Periodically, consider having your jewellery professionally inspected and cleaned by a reputable jeweller. Professional maintenance can help identify and address any potential issues, such as loose settings or worn clasps, before they escalate into more significant problems.
