Daily Dos & Don’ts
- Put jewellery on after perfume, lotion and hair products.
-
Remove pieces before swimming, bathing, or going to the gym — chlorine, salt, and sweat accelerate tarnish.
- In hot weather, wipe skin and jewellery often; moisture speeds up dulling.
- Store items separately in soft pouches to avoid scratching.
At-Home Cleaning (once a month)
-
Mix mild dish soap with lukewarm water.
-
Soak pieces 5 min, brush gently with a soft toothbrush.
-
Rinse in a plastic bowl of clean water; pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
-
Finish with a silver/gold polishing cloth.
Skip dips/chemicals on rhodium-plated, oxidised finishes, pearls or porous gems.
Gemstone & Diamond Tip
Warm running water is safest. Avoid hot/cold shocks and commercial cleaners that can pit stones or loosen settings.
