jewelry Guidelines

To keep your jewelry looking its best, a little care and attention will help maintain its lustre and longevity for years to come.

Caring for your jewelry 

• Chemicals in skin and hair products, perfume and household products can cause jewelry to tarnish. Apply skin and hair products before putting on your jewelry.
• Water and chemicals, (especially chlorine) will cause your jewelry to erode and tarnish, so avoid wearing items in the shower, sea, swimming pool or hot tub.
• Remove your jewelry before engaging in physical exercise or household activities such as cleaning or gardening, perspiration will cause your jewelry to tarnish.
• Keep your jewelry away from extreme temperatures, humidity and sunlight.
• Remove jewelry before going to bed.
• Jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off for all of the reasons above.
• After wearing your jewelry, use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to remove residues from your skin and build up from skin products before storing items away.
  
  

Crystals and Gemstones

Crystals and gemstones are delicate and need to be handled with care, they are not indestructible and can fracture and chip if they are knocked against hard surfaces.

Storing your Jewelry

• Exposure to air and moisture will cause your jewelry to tarnish. To minimise this occurring store your jewelry in a zip lock bag (polyethylene)/air tight bag, a silica gel sachet will also help to absorb moisture.
• Check that clasps on necklaces and bracelets are securely fastened and keep them away from crystals and gemstones to avoid scratches.
• Store your jewelry separately to prevent them from getting tangled or scratched.
