To ensure your jewellery stays looking its best and to avoid damage, we recommend the following guidelines.
- Keep jewellery away from moisture & remove before entering water
- Apply perfumes and lotionsbefore wearing your jewellery
- Remove jewellery when sleeping
- Remove jewlelery when doing strenuous activity i.e gardening, working out & housework
Even though jewellery may be made with some of the strongest materials, it is not indestructible and can still be damaged and broken. This can be avoided by taking extra precautions with your jewellery and we include a care card with each purchase.
Check your jewellery regularly paying attention to claws and making sure they are in place and stones are secure in their settings. Daily wear and tear will inevitably occur and you may need to send your ring to us for a service every once in a while. Vintage rings were made when the lifestyles of the wearers were very different to today, in which case vintage rings need a little more due diligence in order to live up to the demands of modern life.
Cleaning your jewellery
Keeping your jewellery looking clean and sparkly is actually a lot easier than you think!
We recommend using a soft bristled tooth brush, some warm water and a gentle washing up liquid. Often dirt and debris can gather at the back of the setting, so it's a good idea to gently scrub this area as well as the front. Ensure your jewellery is thoroughly rinsed and dried after cleaning.
Diamonds are Oleophilic meaning that they attract grease and oil easily, so it's important to keep them clean to make them look their best. We don't recommend cleaning Pearls, Opals and certain coloured gemstones in this way so do get in touch if you have any further questions on cleaning your particular piece of jewellery.
