Care

Jewellery care

A few simple habits keep your pieces looking as they should.

Every day

Last on, first off.

  • Put jewellery on after perfume, creams and hairspray.
  • Take it off before swimming, bathing, exercise and household cleaning.
  • Store each piece separately, in a soft pouch or lined box, so pieces don't scratch one another.
  • Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.

By material

Silver, gold and diamonds.

Sterling silver

Silver naturally tarnishes over time. A silver polishing cloth restores its brightness; avoid abrasive cleaners.

Gold-plated sterling silver

Plated surfaces are delicate. Avoid polishing cloths with chemicals, and keep pieces dry. With wear, a plated layer can soften over time.

Solid gold

Clean with warm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush; rinse and dry thoroughly.

Diamonds

Diamonds attract oils from skin and creams. Gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush brings back their light.
