How To Care For Your Jewellery

To keep your gemstones and jewellery looking their best a few simple techniques should be followed:

Cleaning

• Your jewellery should be cleaned regularly to maintain its sparkle.
• The most effective and gentle way to clean your jewellery is to use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or soft bristled toothbrush.  Dry gently with a soft cloth.
• To clean behind a gemstone use a soft bristled toothbrush to gently scrub and then rinse with warm water.
• Be sure to gently wipe off excess makeup and skin oils after wearing your jewellery.
• All organic gemstones such as Pearl, Coral, Opal, or Amber should only be wiped clean with a soft cloth.
• Never use toothpaste to clean jewellery. The abrasives in toothpaste may damage gemstones.

Storage

• Always store your jewellery pieces separately from one another to avoid scratches from harder gemstones.  If possible, store each piece in a separate box.
• Softer stones such as Lapis Lazuli, Malachite, Turquoise, Amber, and Opal can easily be scratched by other jewellery.
• Store your gemstone jewellery away from direct sunlight.

Perfume

• Your jewellery should always be the last item you put on and the first to be removed.
• This will prevent any of your jewellery coming into contact with perfume or hairspray which can cause damage.
• Perfume and other beauty products should always be applied before wearing jewellery.

Swimming

• Wearing your jewellery while swimming should always be avoided as it can cause damage.
• Always remove jewellery before using any cleaning products.
