Jewellery Care

A little care goes a long way. Simple habits to keep your pieces brilliant for years to come.

01

How to clean your jewellery at home

Three gentle steps, a few minutes, and nothing more than what’s already under your sink.

1

Soak it

Mix warm water with a little dish soap. Let your piece soak for a few minutes.

2

Gently brush

Use a soft toothbrush to clean around the setting and under the stone.

3

Rinse and dry

Rinse under warm water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach or abrasive cleaners, which can dull metals and damage some stones.

02

How often should you clean it?

Weekly

At home

Once a week is ideal to keep it sparkling.

Yearly

Professionally

Have it professionally cleaned and checked once a year to make sure the setting is secure.

03

When to take it off

Remove your jewellery during:

Swimming

Chlorine and saltwater can damage it

Showering or applying lotions

Residue dulls the sparkle

Exercising or heavy work

Knocks can loosen stones

Sleeping

To avoid bending or snagging

Between wears

Store each piece on its own, in a soft pouch or lined box. Diamonds can scratch
other jewellery, and chains are less likely to tangle.
