General Jewellery Care

Proper care of your jewellery can preserve its beauty and longevity. Here are some essential tips for wearing and cleaning your pieces:

Wearing Jewellery

  • Remove Jewellery During Household Tasks: Avoid wearing your jewellery while performing manual tasks such as cooking, gardening, or cleaning. These activities can expose your jewellery to physical damage or harmful chemicals found in cleaning products.
  • Apply Cosmetics Before Wearing Jewellery: Lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and other cosmetics may contain chemicals that could harm your jewellery. To minimize exposure, wear your jewellery only after applying these products.
  • Avoid Swimming Pools and Spas: Chlorinated water can react with metals, potentially causing discoloration or weakening the structure of your jewellery. Remove all pieces before entering a pool or spa.
  • Remove Jewellery During Sports: Physical activity or impacts during sports can damage your jewellery. It’s best to take off your pieces before engaging in activities like gym workouts, climbing, or contact sports.

Cleaning Jewellery

  • Remove Jewellery Before Bathing: Always remove your jewellery before showering or cleaning, as soap can leave a dull residue on the surface.
  • Use a Jewellery Polishing Cloth: For best results, polish your gold or silver jewellery with a specialized jewellery polishing cloth. Avoid using tissues or paper towels, as the fibres in these materials can scratch the surface.

By following these guidelines, you can keep your jewellery looking its best for years to come.
