Whether you wear your favourite necklace every day or save your statement pieces for special occasions, proper care can help keep your jewellery looking beautiful for years to come. In this guide, we'll share simple yet effective tips to help you maintain the brilliance and longevity of your jewellery.


Store Your Jewellery Properly

One of the easiest ways to protect your jewellery is by storing it correctly when it's not being worn.


To prevent scratches, tangles, and unnecessary wear, store each piece separately in a soft pouch, jewellery box, or lined compartment. Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excess humidity.


Remove Jewellery During Activities

While high-quality jewellery is designed to be durable, it's best to remove your pieces before certain activities.


We recommend removing jewellery before:

  • Exercising

  • Swimming

  • Showering

  • Cleaning

  • Gardening

  • Applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray


Exposure to chemicals, moisture, and impact can affect the appearance and longevity of your jewellery over time.


Clean Your Jewellery Regularly

Regular cleaning helps maintain the sparkle and brilliance of your jewellery. For routine cleaning:

  1. Fill a bowl with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.

  2. Allow your jewellery to soak for a few minutes.

  3. Gently clean with a soft toothbrush or cloth.

  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

  5. Pat dry using a lint-free cloth.


Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or rough materials that may damage the finish of your jewellery.

Caring for Moissanite

Moissanite is renowned for its exceptional brilliance and durability, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear. Over time, oils, lotions, and daily exposure can create a film on the surface of the stone, reducing its sparkle. Regular cleaning will help restore its fire and brilliance. A simple soak in warm soapy water followed by gentle brushing is often all that's needed to keep your moissanite looking its best.


Protect Jewellery from Chemicals

Everyday products can affect the appearance of jewellery more than many people realise. Try to avoid direct contact with:

  • Perfumes

  • Hairsprays

  • Lotions

  • Cleaning products

  • Chlorine

  • Household chemicals


A good rule to follow is: jewellery should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.


Check Your Jewellery Regularly

Inspect your jewellery from time to time for signs of wear. Check for:

  • Loose stones

  • Worn settings

  • Damaged clasps

  • Bent prongs


Addressing small issues early can help prevent costly repairs and protect your favourite pieces.


Enjoy Your Jewellery for Years to Come

With proper care and maintenance, your jewellery can retain its beauty and sparkle for years. Simple habits such as careful storage, regular cleaning, and avoiding harsh chemicals can make a significant difference in preserving your collection. Whether it's a cherished gift, a statement piece, or an everyday favourite, taking a little extra care ensures your jewellery continues to shine for every occasion.
