Jewellery Guide
General care
-
To enjoy your precious and beautiful jewellery longer time, these simple care directions will help:
-
Avoid wearing them to bed, while going for a bath, or performing domestic chores such as cleaning, gardening, washing, etc.
-
Make sure you remove your jewellery before you go swimming as the chlorinated water can heavily damage them.
-
It is advisable to apply any cosmetic products prior to putting on jewellery.
-
You can refresh the shine of your jewellery piece by polishing the item with a silver/gold cleaning cloth, each time before storing it.
-
Avoid exposing jewellery to harsh climatic conditions.
Cleaning
​
-
As and when your jewellery starts looking dull, you may want to clean it thoroughly. To do that, immerse the jewellery for approximately 10 seconds in normal water and a mild cleaning detergent. Then, rinse the pieces thoroughly under hot water and rub dry using a cloth or a hairdryer.
-
Oxidised items of jewellery should not be cleaned using a silver dipping bath or polished with a silver cloth as these may remove or wear off the oxidation.
-
Items of jewellery with imitation pearls, crystals, synthetic stones and mother of pearl are not suitable for cleaning in a silver dipping bath either.
-
Only the silver parts of the jewellery should be cleaned using a silver cloth. Thread and leather cords must not be placed in a silver dipping bath or cleaned using an ultrasound device.
-
Soap, crème and make-up residues can be removed using an ultrasound device, keeping in mind that it should not contain aggressive cleaning agents.
Traces of Wear and Tear
​
-
Please note that traces of wear and tear (e.g. scratches) are more visible on items which have larger polished silver or gold surfaces. These can occur even after a short time.
-
External influences like scratches and tarnishing are normal signs of wear and tear and are not faults in the material.
Storage
​
-
We recommend that you store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sun exposure.
-
Please avoid storing your jewellery in damp and hot conditions as this can cause silver and gold plating to discolour and tarnish.
