Jewellery Care
Your Jewellery needs a little TLC 💖
Jewellery is made to be worn and loved, but like all precious things, it needs a little care to keep it looking its best.
With a few simple habits, you can help your pieces stay shiny, sparkling, and ready to be treasured for years to come.

Caring for Jewellery with stones
🧪 Softer stones (like opal, turquoise, or pearl) need extra care - avoid harsh cleaners and excess water.
💎 Always check the setting - if claws are bent or a stone feels loose, don’t wear it until it’s checked.
💪 Know your gemstone strength!
Wearing your jewellery for manual work?
Invest in a harder stone (a diamond is tough, an opal is delicate).
The Mohs scale can tell you the stones hardness
💝 Store stone-set jewellery separately to avoid scratches and damage.
Common Jewellery Care Questions
Totally normal! Silver reacts with the air and environment, which can cause dullness or darkening. A quick polish or clean will bring it back.
It won’t melt away, but it’s not ideal. Water, soaps, and shampoos can speed up tarnish and damage stones over time. Best to take it off.
Keep it in an airtight box or bag to slow tarnishing. Storing pieces separately avoids scratches too.
Yes - both benefit from being taken off before swimming, sleeping, or gym sessions. Silver tarnishes more noticeably, while gold is less fussy but still deserves some love.
If you wear a piece daily, it’s a good idea to have settings checked every year or so by a jeweller - especially for rings with stones.
Depends on the stone! Diamonds, sapphires, and rubies are fine. Opals, emeralds, turquoise, pearls, and other softer stones - definitely not.
An ultrasonic is a fab addition to keep jewellery sparkling - Ultrasonic cleaners use tiny sound waves in water to create bubbles that gently lift away dirt and grime from your jewellery -even in the little nooks you can’t reach. You can get some super affordable ones for regular at home use 🫧
