General Care

A professional should regularly check jewellery for damage or wear. Here are a few tips on some of the things you can do to keep it in great shape:

- Take your jewellery off if you're involved in any activity which could scratch, knock or damage it. If in any doubt, take it off and keep it safe.

- Take it off when you go to bed.

- Keep it well away from chemicals, especially chlorine. If it does come into contact with chemicals, rinse it in water immediately.

- Bathe and apply any lotions or perfumes before you put your jewellery on. 

- Store it separately, ideally in a soft-lined box or case, so that your favourite pieces don't tangle, rub or scratch one another. 

- Make sure chains and necklaces are fastened when storing to avoid tangling.

- Remove jewellery while cooking, cleaning and washing up.

- When storing jewellery, please keep it away from sunlight, excessive heat or damp conditions.

 

Cleaning Silver

Silver is subject to tarnishing over time. Tarnishing occurs when silver is exposed to oxygen and sulphur in the air. It is unavoidable, but, thankfully, it doesn't damage the metal and can be removed easily with cleaning.

 

How to prevent tarnishing:

Simply wearing your silver jewellery will slow the process of tarnishing. Being careful with how you store and wear the silver will also help reduce the speed of tarnishing.

- Remove silver rings and bracelets when washing your hands. Residue from soap and hand gels can result in a dull surface.

- Keep silver jewellery in separate airtight bags.

- Avoid humid environments.

However, when the metal begins to look dull, it is time to get the cleaning products out to get the jewellery looking like new.
