Jewellery Information

How to care for your jewellery

Our Jewellery is made to last, and so it will if you look after it well. By caring for your jewellery at home will keep it looking its best. Below is our advice and how to care for it. 

Keep our original boxes and bags as this is the best way to keep your jewellery from dirt and damage. But if not, wrap your jewellery in bits of cloth and tissue keeping them in separate compartments. 

You’ll need to be especially careful with pearls as they are softer, so scratch easier than gems and metals. Rubbing simple soap and water with a soft brush works well. You then need to clean your jewellery with a soft lint-free cloth so it won’t leave any threads or fuzz behind. 

Salt water, chlorine in swimming pools, perfumes, personal products and perspiration take their toll on all fine jewellery and can cause oxidisation.

Gold is measured in Carat, which is the measure of pure Gold content: 24 Carat is pure gold, 9ct gold is 37.5% pure, 14ct gold is 58.5% pure and 18ct is 75% pure.
