5 things you can do to care for your jewellery

Jewellery can be so much more than just a beautiful accessory – it’s often physical embodiments of a connection, a cherished memory or an important milestone. However, keeping your jewellery in its best condition isn’t always easy, and we know that daily life can take its toll. So, whether it’s your everyday rings or an heirloom necklace, here are five things you can do to help care for your jewellery.

Last thing on, first thing off

Whether you’re getting ready for a busy day or a glamorous night out, remember the golden rule: jewellery should be the last thing you put on, and the first thing you take off. Following this simple habit prevents your precious pieces from coming into contact with makeup, perfume and lotions that can dull their sparkle. Plus, it’s an easy way to avoid accidental snags, tangles or breaks whilst getting dressed.

Clean your jewellery

Your jewellery’s sparkle won’t last forever, so it’s important to help it along. Regular cleaning is essential to keeping your pieces looking brand new, but using the right products is just as crucial. For example, gold jewellery requires a different cleansing solution compared to silver jewellery, and delicate gemstones need an even gentler touch. With the right approach, however, you will be able to keep your jewellery sparkling for years to come

Get your jewellery professionally cleaned

If your jewellery needs some extra TLC, we recommend dropping them off at a professional jeweller for a deep clean. Not only will they restore its shine, but they’ll also inspect your pieces for any damage or loose settings and offer recommendations to help you maintain them.

Store your jewellery safely

To prevent your jewellery from getting tangled or scratched, it’s important to store them properly in a jewellery box or roll. Soft-lined storage is perfect for protecting your pieces, whether that’s at home or while you’re travelling. Plus, keeping everything organised makes finding your favourite pair of earrings so much easier!

Avoid harsh chemicals, sunlight and water

Your jewellery deserves to shine, but harsh chemicals can take their toll. Always remove your jewellery before exercising, swimming, showering, or washing up to protect them from sweat, water, and chemicals like chlorine, which can cause discolouration. Sun creams, lotions and perfumes can also damage your pieces, while prolonged sun exposure can weaken then. Taking these daily extra steps, you’ll protect your jewellery and preserve their beauty.

Just like any other valuable item, jewellery deserves special care and attention. By following these simple tips, you can keep your pieces in pristine condition and ensure they stay as beautiful as the day you got them. After all, showing them a little bit of love goes a long way.
