Have a look at our YouTube Channel, where we are building a library of videos on jewelry care, jewelry knowledge, and more. We want you to be happy with your jewelry as long as possible. There´s a lot you can do to maintain your pieces in good condition.
Wearing jewelry
Proper care will preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewellery for years to come.
General Care – All Jewellery
- Put your jewellery on last — after applying makeup, perfume, hairspray or lotion.
- Remove jewellery before showering, bathing, swimming or cleaning.
- Avoid contact with chlorinated or salt water, as it can cause discoloration and structural damage to metals.
- Take off jewellery before manual work, housework or gardening to prevent scratches and impact damage.
- Avoid wearing jewellery during contact sports. Hard blows can damage both the piece and the wearer.
- Store pieces separately to prevent scratching and tangling.
METAL JEWELLRY
- Keep away from harsh chemicals and cleaning solvents.
- Gently polish with a soft silver cloth to restore shine.
- Store in a dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or jewellery box to reduce oxidation.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity
CHAINS AND NECKLACES
- Fasten clasps when storing to prevent tangling.
- Lay chains flat rather than hanging them to avoid stretching over time.
- Do not pull or tug on fine chains, as this may weaken the links.
- Avoid sleeping while wearing delicate chains.
- Check clasps and links occasionally to ensure they remain secure.
JEWELLERY WITH GEMSTONES
- Handle gemstones with care — stones can chip or crack if knocked against hard surfaces.
- Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless the stone type allows it.
- Remove rings when lifting heavy objects to prevent pressure damage.
PEARLS
- Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray and cosmetics.
- Never wear pearls while having your hair coloured — chemicals and alcohol can permanently damage their lustre.
- Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wearing.
- Store separately from harder jewellery to prevent scratching.
