Jewellery Care
Jewellery Care Guide
To ensure your jewellery remains as beautiful as the day you received it, proper care and maintenance are essential. Here are some tips to help you preserve the brilliance and longevity of your treasured pieces:
1. Store Properly
• Keep your jewellery in a clean, dry place, preferably in a jewellery box or pouch to prevent scratches and tangling.
• Store pieces separately to avoid contact that can cause damage or tangling, especially for delicate chains.
2. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
• Protect your jewellery from harsh chemicals, including perfumes, lotions, hair products, and household cleaners, as they can cause discolouration or damage.
• Remove your jewellery before swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater, as both can corrode metals and dull gemstones.
3. Regular Cleaning
• Clean your jewellery regularly to remove dirt, oils, and residue. For most pieces, a soft cloth or a gentle brush with warm soapy water is ideal. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage stones or metals.
• For delicate gemstones and pearls, consult with a professional for the best cleaning methods to avoid damage.
4. Avoid Impact
• Avoid wearing your jewellery during heavy physical activities, such as sports or manual labour, as hard impacts can cause scratches, chips, or bending of the metal.
5. Inspect Regularly
• Periodically inspect your jewellery for any signs of wear and tear, such as loose stones or worn prongs. Have your pieces professionally inspected and serviced as needed to maintain their integrity.
6. Professional Maintenance
• For heavily worn items or fine jewellery pieces with intricate designs, regular professional cleaning and maintenance are recommended. Many jewellers offer cleaning services and can polish or repair jewellery as needed.
By following these care tips, your jewellery will remain timeless and beautiful for years to come.
