Jewellery Care Guide

General Care Tips
Do:
- Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewellery box to avoid scratching
- Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising where possible
- Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing
- Apply perfume and lotions before putting on your jewellery
Avoid:
- Contact with harsh chemicals, cleaning products, or chlorine
- Exposing pieces to prolonged direct sunlight
- Wearing jewellery to bed to prevent damage and tangling
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver can tarnish over time due to air and moisture exposure. To minimise tarnishing, store your silver pieces in an airtight bag or box when not wearing them. To clean, use a silver polishing cloth or a small amount of mild soap with warm water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid silver dip solutions as they can be too harsh.
Caring for Gold Vermeil & Gold-Plated
Gold vermeil is more durable than standard gold plating but still requires care to maintain its lustre. Avoid exposure to water, sweat, perfume, and chemicals as these can wear away the gold layer over time. Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Store separately to prevent scratching.
Caring for Stainless Steel (PVD)
Our PVD-coated stainless steel pieces are the most durable in our range and are waterproof. You can wear them in the shower, pool, and ocean. Clean with mild soap and warm water, rinse well, and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials which can scratch the surface.
