Caring for Your Jewellery
Your jewellery is far more than an accessory — it is a cherished piece, rich in sentimental and monetary value. With the right care, its beauty and brilliance can be preserved for a lifetime and beyond. Please find our expert guidance below to help you protect and maintain your most treasured pieces.
General Care
Store with Care
Keep your jewellery in a clean, dry environment — ideally within a soft-lined jewellery box or individual pouch — to protect each piece from scratches and unnecessary wear.
Avoid Chemical Exposure
Always remove your jewellery before using household cleaning products, swimming in chlorinated water, or applying lotions, perfumes, or cosmetics. These substances can dull, discolour, or damage even the finest metals and stones.
Wear Mindfully
We recommend removing your jewellery before engaging in physical activities such as sport, gardening, or heavy lifting, where pieces may be exposed to impact or undue stress.
Clean Regularly
Routine cleaning using the appropriate methods for each material will help your jewellery retain its natural brilliance and lustre over time.
Cleaning & Maintenance by Material
Gold & Platinum
Soak briefly in warm water with a small amount of mild washing-up liquid. Gently clean with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Silver
Use a dedicated silver polishing cloth to gently remove tarnish and restore a beautiful shine. Minimise prolonged exposure to air and moisture, both of which accelerate tarnishing.
Diamond & Gemstone Jewellery
Clean using a soft toothbrush with a solution of lukewarm water and mild soap. Exercise caution with ultrasonic cleaners, as certain gemstones can be sensitive to vibration and may be damaged in the process.
Pearls
After each wear, gently wipe pearls with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Keep them away from perfumes, hairsprays, and cosmetics, as these can erode the delicate surface of the pearl over time.
Storage Recommendations
Store each piece individually to prevent tangling and surface scratching. Fine jewellery is best kept in a fabric-lined box with separate compartments or dividers. For silver pieces, anti-tarnish strips placed within the storage box will help slow oxidation and preserve their brilliance.
Professional Care
We recommend having your jewellery professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year. A skilled jeweller will check for loose stones, worn prongs, or any signs of damage — addressing these promptly will ensure your pieces remain as beautiful as the day you received them.
By following these simple yet considered care practices, your jewellery will continue to delight for years — and generations — to come.
