Preserving Brilliance

Daily care and prevention

• Apply products before wearing jewellery: Always put on lotions, perfumes, and hairspray before your jewellery.
• Remove during activities: Take off jewellery before showering, swimming, gardening, cleaning, or exercising to protect it from moisture, chemicals, and impact.
• Wipe down after wear: Gently wipe jewellery with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and buildup.

Cleaning

• Use a mild soap solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in a bowl of warm water. Soak jewellery for a few minutes to soften grime.
• Gentle scrubbing: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the jewellery, especially around settings where dirt can accumulate.
• Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the piece with lukewarm water to remove all soap residue.
• Dry completely: Pat the jewellery dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or let it air dry on a clean cloth.

Storage

• Store in a dry place: Keep jewellery in a clean, dry area, away from high-moisture environments like a bathroom.
• Separate pieces: Store each piece individually in a soft pouch or a jewellery box with separate compartments to prevent scratches.
• Sleeping: Remove all rings at night when sleeping. At night you get warm and your fingers can swell, which may cause permanent finger disfiguration.

When to seek professional help

• Delicate or valuable pieces: Take valuable or intricate pieces to a professional jeweller for regular cleaning and inspection.
• Avoid harsh methods: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on delicate jewellery. Chlorine will dissolve gold.
• Professional cleaning: A professional jeweller can also advise on the best cleaning methods for your specific pieces.
