Caring for your jewellery at home

Store in a jewellery box

When you are not wearing your jewellery, we suggest storing it in a jewellery box or in an airtight and dry place. This will help prevent the jewellery mixing with sulphur in the air which causes jewellery to tarnish.

Remove before showering

Depending on the material of your jewellery, we recommend removing it before showering or bathing as it can contain chemicals that can cause damage to the jewellery.

Remove before exercise

Remove jewellery before exercise, this can cause jewellery to get scratched or damaged.

Avoid household cleaners

Avoid wearing your jewellery when cleaning with harsh chemicals, these can react with the metal and create damage to the jewellery.
