JEWELLERY CARE

​

By following the simple steps set out below you will be able to protect your jewellery, clean it at home and breathe new life into an old treasured piece.

 

TIPS FOR CARING FOR YOUR JEWELLERY

• Remove all jewellery especially rings before taking part in physical activity be it sport, gardening or manual jobs. This avoids any unnecessary damage and surfaces scratches.

• Also remove jewellery before household chores, to avoid contact with cleaning products that contain bleach or other harsh chemicals which can discolour metals and some stones such as emeralds. For the same reason always take jewellery off before swimming.

• Cosmetics and perfumes can also react with jewellery causing the metal's surface to discolour or tarnish. We advise applying beauty products before you put your jewellery on.

• Store your jewels in a jewellery box with separate compartments for each piece to avoid scratches and chains becoming tangled. A good tip is to store silver jewellery in air-tight zip-lock plastic bags, exposure to air can cause silver to tarnish.

 CLEANING JEWELLERY

Once in a while use a specialist jewellery polishing cloth which is impregnated with a polishing compound.

A rub with a jewellery polishing cloth will remove light tarnishing.
