Care of your Jewellery

Three basic rules for caring for your jewellery and ensuring it has a long life.

• 1) Keep it dry. Never put your jewellery in water as it can cause threads to break and the discolouring of pearls and stones.
• 2) Store carefully and wear with care. Store your jewellery in its individual gift box or in a jewellery case to avoid items scratching, tangling or tarnishing. Silver jewellery will tarnish with time and it can be cleaned using a silver cloth. Avoid storing pearls in plastic as this can make them appear dull.
• 3) Protect from cosmetics. Avoid wearing your jewellery when spraying perfume or hairspray as this can significantly dull and discolour stones and the luminescence of pearls.
