Aftercare
With the right care, your jewellery can be treasured for a lifetime.
We recommend regular cleaning and safe storage to help retain your jewellery’s brilliance. Here, we have put together a few helpful tips to keep your jewellery looking fresh and sparkly.
Silver
Regularly clean with a soft polishing cloth (we love Talk Town) to remove tarnish. For a deep clean you can request a professional polish by our in house jewellers here.
Gold Plated
Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions, as they can cause discolouration or thin the gold layer more quickly. Store separately in a jewellery box or pouch to prevent scratches and wear. Be mindful not to graze your jewels against rough surfaces as this can scratch off the gold layer. This includes heavy lifting at the gym, cycling or gardening for example.

Gemstone
Caring for gemstone set pieces requires a bit of special attention to preserve their allure. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures. Clean gently with a soft brush and mild soapy water, avoiding abrasive agents. Store separately to prevent scratching and maintain their lustre.
Engaging in physical activities can lead to wear and tear of gemstone set designs. Impact and friction during sports or manual tasks may cause chipping or the loosening of stones. It is advisable to remove your jewellery before such activities to protect the gemstones from potential damage and ensure their longevity.
Solid Gold
Regularly clean with mild soap and a soft brush to remove dirt and oils. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to preserve a lustrous shine. Store separately when not wearing to prevent scratches. Again, be mindful not to graze your jewels against rough surfaces as this can scratch or dent gold. We always recommend removing solid gold jewellery when heavy lifting at the gym, cycling or gardening for example.
