A few habits for everyday wear
- Put jewellery on last. Apply perfume, sunscreen and other cosmetics first.
- Take it off before water or activity. Remove jewellery before bathing, swimming, cleaning, exercise or manual work.
- Wipe after wearing. Use a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, harsh chemicals and prolonged soaking.
- Store separately. A soft pouch or lined compartment helps protect stones and metal finishes from scratches.
Care for the whole piece
Jade, pearls, crystals, cords and metal fittings have different care needs. For mixed-material designs, start with a gentle wipe rather than washing the whole piece. Ask us about the exact design if you are unsure how to clean it.
Keep jewellery away from hard knocks and sudden heat. Natural stone can chip or crack, and plated finishes can wear with use.
Check cords and connections
Inspect knots, clasps, jump rings and the cord near drilled holes regularly. If a cord frays, stretches or loosens, stop wearing the piece and arrange restringing. Normal cord wear is a practical maintenance issue.
If a piece is damaged
Stop wearing it, keep all parts safely and contact us or an experienced jeweller. Avoid household glue on stones or metal connections.
