Your precious metal jewellery – gold, platinum, and sterling silver are softer compared to some other metals, like steel. That means they're more prone to scratches or damage from everyday activities, such as picking up things or bumping into surfaces. So, it's a good idea to take off your jewellery if you're engaging in hands-on tasks or using potentially abrasive materials, like lifting weights at the gym, gardening, or cleaning.
Also, before you hop into the shower or take a swim in the ocean or a chlorinated pool, it's best to remove your jewellery. Chemicals found in perfumes or hairspray can gradually tarnish your pieces, so try to avoid spraying them directly onto your jewellery.
Lastly, it's a good habit to remove all jewellery before bedtime to prevent any unnecessary pulling on delicate clasps. Just a few simple precautions can help keep your favourite pieces looking their best for longer!"
Wearing your jewellery every day exposes your stones to various elements like dirt, sweat, makeup, natural oils from your skin, and everyday chemicals. Over time, these substances can accumulate on your stones.
To keep your stones clean, soak your piece in a bowl of warm, soapy water. Gently scrub underneath the stones with a soft toothbrush, as this is where most of the dirt tends to collect. Finally, give the metal a gentle polish with a soft, lint-free cloth to bring out its shine.
You can also have your pieces professionally cleaned by us. We will check your stones and settings at the same time whilst returning them to their original shine.
