Care Instructions and Tips

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

General Care:

• Always put Jewellery on after applying makeup, perfume, hairspray, and lotion. These can dull metals and gemstones.
• Remove during activities: take Jewellery off before swimming, showering, exercising, or doing household chores. Chemicals like chlorine, detergents, sweat can damage metals and stones.
• Avoid impact: Fine Chains and delicate settings can bend or break under pressure - avoid wearing during sports or heavy lifting.

Cleaning: 

• Gold and Platinum (Gold, Rose and Whites): 
• Clean with warm water, a mild liquid soap, and a soft brush (baby toothbrush is ideal.)
• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Silver (Including sterling):

• Polish with a silver cleaning cloth regularly to prevent tarnish.
• For deeper cleaning, use a silver dip sparingly and rinse well. 

Gemstones (Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies, etc.):

• Most can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap, but avoid soaking porous stones (emeralds, opals, pearls, turquoise).
• Wipe soft/porous stones with a damp cloth only.

Storage:

• Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches and tangling.
• For chains: close the clasp and lay flat or hang to avoid knotting.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity to reduce tarnishing (especially for silver).
• Use anti-tarnish strips in storage boxes for silver Jewellery.

Special Needs:

• Rhodium- Plated white gold: Plating may wear over time; re-plating every 12-24 months keeps jewellery bright.
• Pearls and opals: very delicate - avoid contact with acids, alcohol, hairspray, and extreme heat. Wipe with a soft damp cloth after each wear.
• Regular checks: Have clasps, prongs, and links checked yearly by a jeweler to ensure stones remain secure and chains haven't weakened.
