Jewellery care essentials

5 simple tips

1. Give them a little shine

Normal wear can dull jewellery. Clean with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water to keep it shining, and always keep gemstone pieces dry.


2. Tuck away in a safe spot

Store jewellery safely when not worn and remove before swimming, exercising, or contact with rough surfaces.


3. Avoid chemicals and perfume

Apply perfumes and lotions before wearing jewellery. Pearls and gemstones can dull from oils and products—simple care keeps them glowing.


4. Look after your gems

Gemstones and pearls are delicate. Avoid harsh chemicals, rough surfaces, water, sunlight, and heat to keep their unique shine intact.


5. Get a professional inspection

Have your jewellery professionally checked yearly. Our experts can clean, inspect, and ensure it stays beautiful and secure.

General use and safekeeping

Caring for your jewellery starts with thoughtful everyday habits. The way you wear, store, and handle each piece not only preserves its beauty but also protects it from unnecessary wear. By following a few simple guidelines, you can extend the life of your favourite designs and keep them looking as radiant as the day you received them. This section outlines essential practices for general use and safekeeping - helping you enjoy your jewellery with confidence, whether it’s part of your daily routine or reserved for special moments.

  • Put on your jewellery in the morning, remove it before bedtime.
  • Avoid wearing jewellery during sports, swimming, cooking, gardening, or housework.
  • Prevent scratches by keeping pieces separate in their original box or a soft pouch.
  • Chains and colliers should be stored closed and flat or wrapped around a soft element to prevent tangling.
  • Have jewellery with diamonds, gemstones, or pearls examined annually to ensure settings are secure.
