How to Care for Your Jewellery
What can damage or dull my jewellery?
Knowing what causes accidental damage can help prevent it. These are the most common causes:
- The natural tarnishing process
- Water damage from exposure to water or moisture
- Sun and heat damage from exposure to bright sunlight
- Exposure to perfume, skincare, or cleaning products
- Physical damage from tangles and snagging
- Poor cleaning techniques
- Improper storage
- Age
How do I prevent jewellery damage?
To help prevent accidental damage to your jewellery, we recommend you:
- Do not shower or bathe while wearing jewellery
- Remove rings when cleaning or washing your hands
- Avoid jewellery coming into contact with cosmetic products
- Put jewellery on after dressing to avoid tangles
- Remove jewellery before undressing to prevent snags
- Wear your jewellery regularly to prevent natural tarnishing
- Clean your jewellery to maintain its shine
How should I care for my jewellery during wear?
Jewellery can be easily damaged without you noticing. Everyday products can tarnish or corrode metal, and snagging on clothing is a common cause of wear and tear.
To protect your pieces, put them on after dressing and remove them before undressing. Be mindful when applying perfume or skincare, and always remove jewellery before using cleaning products.
Prevent tangling with a necklace detangler and make cleaning a regular habit to keep your jewellery looking its best.
How should I store my jewellery?
Store your jewellery in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Always fasten clasps to prevent tangling and avoid friction between pieces. For added protection, we recommend using a jewellery box to keep your collection safe and organised.
