caring for your jewellery

We work mostly with brass and sterling silver which are then plated in rhodium or 18 karat gold. All sterling silver, brass, and bronze develop a natural patina from exposure to air, moisture, dirt and oils. To maintain a bright finish, keep jewellery clean and dry, store in an airtight container. Avoid contact with skin care products, hair products, cooking and cleaning products.

cleaning your jewellery

Clean your jewellery carefully with a soft, non-abrasive and lint-free cloth; this helps maintain or bring back its shine.
If necessary, you can use a mild washing up liquid with warm water and a soft toothbrush, then rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid using ‘dip’ polish or abrasive jewellery cleaners as these contain harsh chemicals and can destroy your jewellery over time.
We do not recommend the use of any jewellery polishing cloths which have been treated with cleaners or polishing agents.

Jewellery should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off when dressing.
Do not expose to perfume, hairspray, make-up, nail polish remover, body oils, sun tan lotion and deodorant.
Do not swim or shower while wearing gold-plated or silver jewellery, and remove rings when washing your hands.
Keep your plated pieces gold and gleaming by storing them in their pouch and remember not to buff too hard when wiping with a polishing cloth.
Wear your silver with you everywhere to keep tarnish at bay.
Keep your jewellery separately in its pouch or an airtight bag.
