Jewellery Care Guide

A little care keeps every piece shining for years. Each product page also shows the care tips for that piece.

✨ Everyday care

  • Put your jewellery on last, after perfume, make-up and hairspray, and take it off first.
  • Take it off before a bath, swimming, the gym, cooking or sleeping.
  • After wearing, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth to remove sweat and oil.
  • Store each piece separately in its zip pouch or box, away from damp places like the bathroom.

🌟 Gold, rose gold and silver plating

  • Keep perfume, deodorant, hand sanitiser and lotion away: they fade the plating fastest.
  • Never use polish, liquid cleaners, toothpaste or a rough cloth on it.
  • If it looks dull, wipe with a soft cotton cloth very lightly dampened with water, then dry it completely.
  • Keep it in an airtight pouch; air and moisture make plating tarnish.

🖤 Oxidised jewellery

  • The dark antique look is the design: do not polish it to make it shine.
  • Clean it with a dry soft cloth or a soft toothbrush, never with water or soap.
  • Store it airtight (a zip pouch is perfect) so it does not darken unevenly.

👑 Kundan, polki, meenakari and mirror work

  • The stones are set by hand: keep the piece away from water and heat, which loosen them.
  • Do not bend, press or pull the piece; hold it by the edges.
  • Dust it with a soft dry make-up brush; never rub the coloured enamel.
  • Store it flat in its box with soft cotton, so the stones do not rub against other pieces.

💎 American diamond, zircon and crystal

  • Wipe the stones with a soft dry cloth to bring the sparkle back; lotions and oils dull it.
  • Store it on its own: the stones can scratch other jewellery.
  • Avoid knocks and drops, and check now and then that no stone is loose.

🤍 Pearls

  • Pearls go on last and come off first: perfume and hairspray peel their shine.
  • Wipe them with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wearing; no soap or chemicals.
  • Lay pearl strings flat to store; hanging stretches the thread.

🧵 Beads, thread and terracotta

  • Keep it dry: water weakens threads and fades terracotta and fabric.
  • Do not pull or stretch threads and elastic when putting it on.
  • Store it flat, away from sunlight, so colours do not fade.
