Jewellery Care Guide

Proper care and maintenance of your jewellery are essential to keep it looking its best for years to come. Whether you own sterling silver, gold or oxidised silver, following these simple guidelines will help preserve the beauty and shine of your pieces.

1. Sterling Silver Jewellery:

  • Cleaning: To clean sterling silver jewellery, use a soft cloth or a special silver cleaning cloth to gently polish away tarnish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the metal.
  • Storage: Store your sterling silver jewellery in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture. Consider using anti-tarnish pouches or cloths to prevent tarnishing when not in use.
  • Avoid Contact: Keep your silver jewellery away from harsh chemicals such as chlorine, perfumes, and household cleaning products, as they can cause tarnishing and damage.

2. Gold Jewellery (9ct/18ct):

  • Cleaning: Clean gold jewellery regularly with a soft cloth or a mild soap solution and warm water. Gently scrub the jewellery with a soft brush to remove dirt and oils. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
  • Storage: Store your gold jewellery separately from other pieces to prevent scratching. Avoid storing gold jewellery in humid areas, as moisture can cause damage over time.
  • Avoid Abrasion: Remove gold jewellery before engaging in activities that may cause abrasion or damage, such as sports or heavy manual work.

3. Oxidised Silver Jewellery:

  • Cleaning: Oxidised silver jewellery should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and oils. Avoid using polishing cloths or cleaners, as they can remove the oxidised finish.
  • Storage: Store oxidised silver jewellery in a dry, airtight container to prevent further oxidation. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its unique appearance.
  • Avoid Exposure: Avoid exposing oxidised silver jewellery to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can accelerate tarnishing and damage the finish.
  • Appearance Over Time: Please note that while we take every effort to maintain the appearance of oxidised silver jewellery, we cannot guarantee its appearance over time due to natural wear and environmental factors.
