GENERAL JEWELLERY CARE GUIDE

• Store each piece of jewellery separately in a soft pouch or individual box to prevent scratching and tangling. This is especially important for gold-plated and stone-set pieces.

• Keep jewellery away from damp and humid conditions. Do not store near bathrooms, windowsills, or heating vents as moisture accelerates tarnishing.

• Always apply perfumes, lotions, creams, and hairsprays before putting on your jewellery. Chemicals in these products can react with metals and cause discolouration.

• Remove jewellery before exercising, cleaning, cooking, gardening, or any physical activity to avoid damage and premature wear.

• Always remove jewellery before bathing, swimming in a pool, or entering the sea. Chlorine and salt water can damage metals and loosen stone settings.

• Avoid wearing jewellery overnight. Sleeping with jewellery on can bend delicate pieces and cause unnecessary wear over time.

GOLD & SILVER JEWELLERY CARE

• Clean gold jewellery with a soft brush dipped in mild soapy warm water. Rinse well and pat dry with a soft lint-free cloth.

• For gold-plated jewellery, wipe gently with a damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing as these can remove the plating over time.

• Polish silver jewellery regularly with a silver polishing cloth to maintain its shine and prevent tarnish from building up.

• Store silver pieces in anti-tarnish pouches or wrap them in acid-free tissue paper when not in use.

STONE & GEMSTONE JEWELLERY CARE

• Handle gemstone jewellery with extra care. Avoid dropping or knocking stone-set pieces against hard surfaces as this can chip or crack the stones.

• Clean gemstone jewellery gently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid soaking pieces as water can loosen adhesive settings.

• Keep gemstone pieces away from direct sunlight for prolonged periods as strong UV rays can fade the colour of certain stones over time.
