Caring For Your Jewellery

Carefully follow the advice below and your jewellery will last a lifetime.

Modern lifestyles can be hectic which may take a toll on your jewellery. The items we sell and make in our workshops are to be treasured, cared for and looked after - they are not indestructible.

To protect your precious items, we advise the following:


Fasten

Keep chains fastened to avoid tangling. Fine chains in particular can be damaged when untangling and removing knots.


Rest

Let your jewellery have a rest too! Do not wear jewellery 24 hours a day. Take it off (preferably when you arrive home) or at least each night before bed.


Remove

Always remove your jewellery when doing housework or gardening, going to the gym, exercising, yoga, etc.

Everyday objects and activities can and do damage jewellery - shopping trollies / crates, prams, child car seats, door handles, handbrakes, clapping / applause, washing up


Separate

Try to keep each item separate so that contact between different metals or stones does not cause damage.


Maintain

We recommend that you bring your jewellery to us at least once a year to be cleaned and checked by our goldsmiths. This may mean that wear and tear or damage can be rectified before any expensive loss occurs.

We advise that you do not attempt to clean jewellery yourself using any form of chemical or ultrasonic cleaner.
