Jewellery Care Tips

Taking care of your jewellery ensures it stays beautiful for years to come. Here are some tips tailored for different materials and designs:

General Care Tips

  • Protect from Damage: Guard your jewellery against scratches, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.
  • Proper Storage: Store your pieces in an airtight box or sealed bag in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing and scratches.
  • Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Keep your jewellery away from harsh chemicals found in cleaning products, perfumes, lotions, and hand sanitisers.
  • Remove During Activities: Take off your jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising, or performing heavy lifting to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.

Caring for Silver Jewellery

  • Tarnish Prevention: Silver naturally tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture. Store it properly in anti-tarnish pouches or airtight containers to slow down the process.
  • Cleaning Silver: Gently clean silver jewellery with warm water and a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly with a soft towel and polish with a silver cloth for added shine.

Caring for Gold Jewellery

  • Maintaining Shine: Regularly polish gold jewellery with a soft cloth to maintain its brilliance.
  • Gentle Cleaning: Use warm water and dishwashing soap with a soft-bristled brush for intricate designs or gemstone settings.

Caring for Sea Glass Jewellery

  • Delicate Handling: Sea glass is unique and delicate; handle it carefully to prevent chipping or scratching.
  • Cleaning Sea Glass: Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the surface of the glass.

Extra Tips for All Jewellery

  • Perfume and Jewellery: Apply perfumes and sprays before wearing your jewellery to avoid direct contact with chemicals.
  • Lotions and Creams: Allow lotions, creams, and hand sanitisers to dry completely before putting on your jewellery to minimise residue buildup.
  • Regular Check-ups: For jewellery with gemstones or intricate settings, inspect regularly for loose stones or wear. If you notice any issues, contact a professional jeweller for maintenance.
