HOW SHOULD I TAKE CARE OF MY JEWELLERY?

ALWAYS STORE YOUR JEWELLERY PIECES INDIVIDUALLY, PREFERABLY IN YOUR OMS BOX OR POUCH SO THAT THEY DON’T RUB TOGETHER OR SCRATCH. ALSO, REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR CHAINS FASTENED SO THEY DON’T BECOME TANGLED. TAKE CARE TO AVOID EXTREME HUMIDITY OR HEAT AS THIS MAY CAUSE TARNISHING. YOUR SILVER JEWELLERY SHOULD BE KEPT IN A DARK, COOL AND DRY PLACE. WITH TIME AND WEAR, STERLING SILVER WILL NATURALLY BECOME OXIDISED AND EVENTUALLY TARNISH. STORING SILVER JEWELLERY IN A SEALED PLASTIC BAG OR AIRTIGHT BOX WHEN IT IS NOT BEING WORN WILL KEEP OUT THE AIR THAT CAUSES OXIDATION. 

HOW SHOULD I CLEAN MY JEWELLERY?

CLEAN YOUR JEWELLERY CAREFULLY WITH THE SOFT, NON-ABRASIVE AND LINT-FREE CLOTH PROVIDED; THIS HELPS MAINTAIN OR BRING BACK ITS SHINE. IF NECESSARY, YOU CAN USE A MILD WASHING UP LIQUID WITH WARM WATER, THEN RINSE WITH CLEAN WATER AND PAT DRY WITH A SOFT CLOTH. AVOID USING ‘DIP’ POLISH OR ABRASIVE JEWELLERY CLEANERS AS THESE CONTAIN HARSH CHEMICALS AND CAN DESTROY YOUR JEWELLERY OVER TIME. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF ANY JEWELLERY POLISHING CLOTHS WHICH HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH CLEANERS OR POLISHING AGENTS.

WHAT SHOULD I KEEP AWAY FROM MY JEWELLERY?

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOUR JEWELLERY SHOULD BE THE LAST THING YOU PUT ON AND THE FIRST THING YOU TAKE OFF WHEN DRESSING. ALTHOUGH LONG-LASTING, HOOPS ESPECIALLY CANT DENT EASILY SO BE CAREFUL.
YOUR JEWELLERY IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE FROM THE EFFECTS OF CHEMICALS PRESENT IN PERFUME, HAIRSPRAY, MAKE-UP, NAIL POLISH REMOVER, BODY OILS, SUNTAN LOTION AND DEODORANT. 

WHAT CAN ERODE OR DULL MY JEWELLERY?

IT IS NOT ADVISED TO SWIM OR SHOWER WHILE WEARING SILVER JEWELLERY. CHLORINE, SALT WATER AND FRESH WATER CAN DAMAGE PRECIOUS METALS BY DULLING OR ERODING THEM. GOLD AND SILVER ARE PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE FROM CHLORINE, WHICH CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE OR DISCOLOUR THEM. SOAPY WATER WHEN BATHING AND SHOWERING CAN ALSO LEAVE A THIN FILM, WHICH MAKES THE METAL SEEM DULL.
