Jewellery Care Guide
Jewellery is made to be worn and loved, but proper care will help keep your pieces looking beautiful for years to come. Different materials require slightly different care, so following a few simple steps can help maintain their shine, colour, and durability.
Below are some helpful tips on how to care for your jewellery.
General Jewellery Care Tips
No matter what material your jewellery is made from, these simple habits will help keep it in great condition:
-
Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising.
-
Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and chemicals.
-
Store jewellery separately to prevent scratching and tangling.
-
Clean pieces gently with a soft cloth to remove oils and dirt.
-
Put jewellery on last when getting ready to minimise exposure to cosmetics.
Taking a few moments to care for your jewellery can make a big difference in preserving its shine and finish.
Caring for 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery
925 sterling silver is a genuine precious metal made from 92.5% pure silver. While it is durable and long-lasting, sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture.
To keep your sterling silver jewellery looking its best:
-
Store it in a dry, airtight container or jewellery pouch.
-
Clean it regularly with a soft polishing cloth designed for silver.
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, and household chemicals.
-
If tarnish appears, use a silver cleaning cloth or gentle silver cleaner to restore the shine.
With proper care, sterling silver jewellery can last for many years and maintain its beautiful shine.
Caring for Stainless Steel Jewellery
Stainless steel jewellery is known for its strength and durability, making it one of the easiest materials to care for. It is highly resistant to rust, tarnish, and corrosion.
To care for stainless steel jewellery:
-
Clean it occasionally with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
-
Dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
-
Store it separately to avoid scratching other jewellery pieces.
Because of its durability, stainless steel is a great option for everyday wear with minimal maintenance.
Caring for Silver Plated Jewellery
Silver plated jewellery has a thin layer of silver applied over a base metal. Because the silver layer is delicate, it requires a little extra care to keep it looking its best.
To extend the life of silver plated jewellery:
-
Avoid water, perfumes, lotions, and chemicals.
-
Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, or exercising.
-
Store pieces in a dry jewellery box or soft pouch.
-
Gently wipe with a soft cloth after wearing to remove oils.
With careful handling and storage, silver plated jewellery can stay bright and beautiful for a long time.
Jewellery Storage Tips
Proper storage helps prevent damage, scratches, and tarnishing.
We recommend:
-
Using a lined jewellery box or soft pouch
-
Keeping pieces separate to prevent scratching
-
Storing jewellery in a cool, dry place
-
Using anti-tarnish strips for silver jewellery
