QUALITY & CARE
Fine jewellery needs to be treated with extra care. Here are some quick tips to prolong the life of your jewellery:
-
Store your jewelry in a clean and dry place, preferably in a jewelry box or pouch. This will protect it from natural oxidation. Avoid storing multiple pieces of jewelry together, as they can scratch, get tangled or crush each other. Store in a safe spot where your jewellery cannot be crushed by other items. Silver and especially gold are soft materials that can easily be bent and damaged.
- Take your jewellery off before swimming or bathing. Chlorine, saltwater and chemicals can damage precious metals and cause discoloration.
-
Remove your jewellery before performing any physical activity or sports. Jewelry can get damaged or scratched while playing sports or doing manual labor.
-
Keep your jewellery away from household chemicals, includings bleach, ammonia, chlorine and acids. These chemicals can damage or discolor metals and gemstones. Pearls can also be damaged by extreme heat.
-
Pearls are very hardy, but they will age faster if your spray them with perfume. Pro tip: Put on your cosmetics, lotion, hairspray and perfume first, and accessorise afterwards. If neccessary, clean your jewellery with a soft, damp cloth, to remove dusk, sweat, make-up and perfume.
-
Have your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected by a jeweler. They can check for loose stones and signs of damage.
-
Be careful when handling your jewelry, especially delicate pieces with intricate designs or settings.
