General Care Tips

Your jewellery is more than just an accessory – it is a reflection of your story, style, and meaningful moments. Whether it’s a cherished gift, a personal treat or a piece with deep sentimental value, proper care will help your jewellery remain beautiful and enduring for years to come.

Material-Based Care

Brass
Brass jewellery will naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. This is a normal and expected characteristic of the material.

• Avoid water, sweat and humid environments.

• Wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth after each use.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a highly durable and corrosion-resistant alloy.

• Water resistant and less prone to tarnishing.

• Avoid contact with chemicals to maintain surface shine.

• Its natural tone is slightly darker than sterling silver.

Sterling Silver (925)
Sterling silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper to enhance durability.

• Prone to tarnishing if exposed to air, moisture or light when not in use.

• Store in a sealed box or pouch.

• Clean regularly using a silver polishing cloth to retain brightness.

Jewellery Mot - Check and Maintenance

Like any valued item, jewellery benefits from occasional check-ups. A professional jeweller can inspect, maintain or restore pieces to their best condition. Below is a checklist of what to look out for:

• Worn, damaged or missing claws on settings

• Loose stones or rattling within their settings

• Faulty clasps, links or catches

• Visible cracks or fractures in metal

• Pearls with worn or stretched threading

• Excessive movement in hinges or joints

• Signs of plating wear, especially on white gold

• Dive watches requiring annual pressure testing

• Rings that no longer fit comfortably, which can typically be resized

It is also recommended to obtain a detailed insurance valuation for valuable items. For accurate guidance, consult a certified jeweller or a member of a recognised jewellery association.

Caring for your jewellery ensures that it continues to shine and remain as timeless as the memories it represents. With the right attention and storage, your pieces can be enjoyed for many years to come.
