A Guide to Keeping Your Favourite Jewellery Beautiful
STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver is loved for its bright shine and everyday elegance, but it needs the right care to stay looking its best. Here’s how to keep your silver glowing:
Keep Away From Tarnish Triggers:
Silver reacts to air, humidity, and chemicals — so try to avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, sprays, and cleaning products.
Wear It Often:
Your natural skin oils actually help slow down tarnishing. The more you wear your silver pieces, the better they look!
Remove For Activities:
Take your silver off before swimming, sweating, or doing chores. Chlorine, saltwater, and household chemicals can dull or damage the metal.
Store Smartly:
Keep your silver in a zippered pouch or anti-tarnish bag. Store each piece separately to avoid scratches. Explore our detailed tips to keep your jewellery secure and tangle-free while travelling here.
Gentle Cleaning Only:
Use a soft cloth to wipe it clean. For extra shine, warm water + mild soap works well. Always dry fully before storing.
Polish With Purpose:
Use a jewellery polishing cloth made for silver to brighten dull areas and maintain its sparkle.
Avoid Sun Exposure:
Too much heat or sunlight can accelerate tarnish, so store silver pieces in a cool, shaded place.
Professional Care:
For heavily tarnished or detailed items, a jeweller can restore the shine safely.
FASHION JEWELLERY
Fashion jewellery is fun, stylish, and expressive — but requires a little extra care to stay looking new:
Keep Away From Chemicals:
Perfume, hairspray, lotion, and cleaning products can discolor fashion metals or loosen stones.
Clean After Each Wear:
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off oils and dust. Avoid rubbing too hard — gentle is better.
Safe Deep Cleaning:
If needed, use mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse completely and dry thoroughly to avoid moisture damage.
Store Individually:
Fashion jewellery can tangle or scratch easily. Keep pieces in separate pouches or compartments.
Be Extra Gentle With Crystals:
Some crystals (especially glass or resin) can lose shine if exposed to harsh cleaners. Wipe with a soft cloth only.
Remove Before Activities:
Water, sweat, and friction can wear down plating or cause stones to loosen.
Avoid Moisture:
Humidity can cause tarnish on fashion jewellery. Store in a dry area with anti-moisture pouches.
