Caring for your jewellery

Thoughtful everyday habits

Caring for your jewellery through simple, mindful habits—how you wear, store, and handle each piece—helps preserve its beauty, extend its life, and keep it looking radiant over time, as outlined in these key everyday care guidelines.

  • Wear your jewellery in the morning and remove it before going to bed.
  • Avoid wearing pieces during sports, swimming, cooking, gardening, or housework.
  • Keep items stored separately in their original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
  • Chains and necklaces should be stored closed and laid flat, or wrapped gently around a soft support to avoid tangling.
  • Jewellery set with diamonds, gemstones, or pearls should be professionally inspected once a year to ensure all settings remain secure.


Our top care tips:

1. Add a gentle shine
Daily wear can gradually dull your jewellery. To maintain its brilliance, gently clean your pieces using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. This simple routine helps preserve their shine and appearance. Gemstone jewellery should always be kept dry, as stones require special care.

2. Store them safely
Always store your jewellery in a secure place when not in use—such as a jewellery box, travel case, or protective pouch. Remove pieces before physical activities like gardening, exercise, or swimming, and avoid contact with hard surfaces such as tools or door handles.

3. Avoid chemicals and fragrance
Apply perfume, lotions, and other products before putting on your jewellery. Precious materials are sensitive to everyday chemicals, and pearls and gemstones in particular may lose their lustre when exposed to oils, creams, perfumes, or detergents. A simple habit that helps maintain their natural glow.

4. Care for your gemstones
Gemstones and pearls are more delicate than diamonds and require extra attention. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, scratches, water, sunlight, and heat, all of which can affect their natural beauty. As each stone is unique, always follow specific care instructions where available.

5. Schedule a professional check
We recommend having your jewellery professionally cleaned and inspected once a year, or more often depending on how frequently it is worn. Our specialists can assess wear, check settings, and ensure your pieces remain both beautiful and secure. Visit us in-store or book a service at your convenience.
