Jewellery Care Guide

Congratulations! You have purchased the perfect piece. Here is a straightforward guide on how to keep it perfect!

Cleaning:

Keeping your jewellery clean is important to both its looks and longevity, as a build-up of dirt and chemicals may erode your rings metal over time. Here is what you need to do every 1-2 weeks to keep it nice and shiny:

  1. Fill a mug with boiling water and a little dish soap
  2. Get an old toothbrush or buy a cheap new one
  3. Place your jewellery into the mug and leave for 5 minutes
  4. Take the jewellery out, and applying a little more dish soap onto the toothbrush, scrub vigorously for 30 seconds all over
  5. Swill the jewellery under a tap of warm water and let air dry

Servicing:

It is crucial to have your jewellery serviced every 6 months to 1 year. With regular use, your jewellery can get knocked and snagged, which over time will loosen the settings. This often goes unnoticed, so to ensure your settings stay tight and secure, and your jewellery stays in its best condition, please get it serviced. As part of the process we do the following:

  1. Professionally clean the jewellery in an ultrasonic bath and steam cleaner
  2. Check the jewellery for any damage, if there is we will provide a quote for repair
  3. Check/tighten the settings for security
  4. Re-polish the jewellery professionally
  5. We charge £45 for servicing, but if preferred, you can take your jewellery to a local jeweller for the same work.

We also strongly recommend you insure you jewellery via your home contents policy or similar. This will cover you in the event of loss or damage that is not covered by our JewelleryCareGuide.

Avoid:

  1. Hand intensive labour. For example gardening, redecorating etc. If you have any job that is hands on, it would be advisable not to wear your jewellery whilst working.
  2. Food prep. Bits of food can get caught in the rings crevices. Some food products contain chemicals that can react with and erode away metal over time.
  3. Applying makeup/cleaning chemicals/moisturizer. All of these materials can affect both the stones and the metal, causing them to dull and wear away.
  4. Sleeping. Your jewellery can get caught on the bedside, your hair or become deformed under the pressure of your sleeping position.
  5. Sports/exercise and swimming. Risk of hitting your jewellery and chemicals are again a factor.

That sums up the care guide, and now it is time to enjoy wearing your jewellery.
