Jewellery Care
Caring for your Jewellery:
Fine jewellery is precious and sentimental, so here are some tips for maintaining
its beauty and keeping your heirlooms sparkling for generations to come:
Store your jewellery in a padded box or pouch away from bright sunlight as this
can dull the colour of the gemstones. Each piece should be stored separately to
avoid them scratching and damaging each other.
Avoid exposure to chemicals – this includes perfumes, hair sprays, hand lotions,
chlorinated pools and home detergents.
We recommend removing your jewellery before showering or bathing to prevent
soap build up behind the gemstones and possible damage from chemicals.
For home cleaning we recommend that you wash your jewellery in a solution of
warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. You can use a soft make-up brush to
help loosen any dirt, but avoid scrubbing the tops of the gemstones to prevent
scratching them. Rinse your jewellery in a glass of water afterwards and let it dry
on a soft towel.
A soft, lint-free cloth can be used for regular wiping and cleaning.
Please remember that gold is soft and hard knocks and falls can bend, dent or
scratch jewellery and cause gemstones to fall out or crack. Avoid wearing your
jewellery when exercising, cleaning or gardening.
Jewellery should be checked by a professional every 6-12 months.
