Jewellery care
Your beautiful jewellery deserves the best care to maintain its elegance and longevity. Follow these expert tips to keep your pieces looking as stunning as the day you first wore them.
Daily Care Essentials
Put on jewellery last, take off first. Apply perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics before wearing your pieces. These products can cause discoloration and buildup on metals and finishes.
Remove before activities. Take off your jewellery before swimming, exercising, cleaning, or any activity involving chemicals or excessive moisture. Chlorine, saltwater, and harsh chemicals can damage both metals and finishes.
Gentle handling. Handle your pieces by the chain or band rather than pendants or delicate elements to prevent stress on joints and clasps.
Cleaning Your Jewellery
For Everyday Cleaning
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewellery after each wear
- For deeper cleaning, use warm soapy water with a few drops of mild dish soap
- Gently brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove buildup from crevices
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth
Special Care for Reversible Pieces
Our reversible designs, like the Alma Necklace with its white and black finishes, require special attention:
- Clean both sides gently to maintain the contrast between finishes
- Avoid harsh chemicals that might affect the coating or plating
- Use separate soft cloths for each side to prevent color transfer
- Allow to air dry completely before storing
What to Avoid
- Never use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners
- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless specifically recommended
- Don't use tissues or paper towels that can scratch surfaces
- Never clean with toothpaste or baking soda, which can be too abrasive
Proper Storage
Individual storage. Store each piece separately to prevent scratching and tangling. Use soft pouches, lined jewellery boxes, or individual compartments.
Avoid moisture. Keep jewellery in a dry environment. Consider adding silica gel packets to storage areas in humid climates.
Hang necklaces. When possible, hang necklaces to prevent kinks and tangles. Use jewellery trees or hooks lined with soft material.
Flat storage for delicate pieces. Store delicate pendants and intricate designs flat to prevent stress on connections.
Long-Term Maintenance
Regular inspections. Check clasps, jump rings, and settings periodically for signs of wear or loosening.
Professional cleaning. Consider professional cleaning annually or as needed, especially for pieces worn frequently.
Proper rotation. If you have multiple pieces, rotate their use to prevent excessive wear on favorites.
