Here are some recommendations and good practices to prevent your jewelry pieces from damaging or losing their shine:

Avoid contact with cosmetics, alcohol-based hand sanitiser and perfumes as these can react with the metal and pearls.

Removing your jewelry before bed, especially as fingers swell in the night and can make them uncomfortable in the morning. Manual labour, including housework, can dent and scratch your jewelry making them less shiny.

Remove jewelry before taking a shower or doing the washing-up to prevent losing small pieces down the drain. Shampoos and harsh solvents in cleaning products will damage any kind of jewelry, especially pearls.

Sterling Silver naturally tarnishes over time but the more you wear them, the less it will happen. If an oxidation mark appears, gently buff your jewellery with a soft jewellery polishing cloth, do not use tissue or paper towels as they can cause fine scratches. Wearing them often will preserve the silver’s shine but if you wish to store it, place it back in its box or wrapped in a soft cloth.

After a while, pieces that you have worn frequently can lose some of their platings. This is natural wear and tear, however, jewellery can be replated in our ateliers. Please get in touch with us if you need a professional re-polish or new gold plating for your piece. This service is free within 12 months after purchase

With the correct care, your pieces will age perfectly over time.

Pearls are delicate and need a bit more care. It is better to put them on last and take them off first. Pearls are more vulnerable to cosmetics, vinegar, lemon, alcohol and perfume. They do not like chlorine, which is present in swimming pools and even added to tap water. If you want to clean them, use a soft cloth with a bit of distilled water.

Quartz and cubic zirconia are hard gemstones either natural or synthetic. They are durable but can still be damaged. Be careful not to drop, hit or cause any kind of force on the stone to avoid scratching or breaking it. To maintain their brilliance, avoid the gemstone coming into contact with cleaning detergents, perfume or lotions.
