How to Care For and Clean Your JewelleryUpdated 12 days ago
Your jewellery is delicate and deserves gentle care to keep it shining beautifully for years to come.
Follow these simple tips to maintain the radiance and longevity of your favourite pieces.
✨ Daily Care Tips
Avoid Chemicals
Keep your jewellery away from cleaning products, perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics, as these can damage the plating.
Remove your pieces before chores such as washing up, to avoid harsh detergents.
Remove Before Showering
Water, soap, and steam can gradually dull gold plating.
Store Properly
Keep your jewellery in its original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and oxidation.
Avoid Swimming
Saltwater and chlorine are highly corrosive to gold-plated jewellery.
Always remove your pieces before visiting the pool or the beach.
Mind Sweat
Perspiration can cause plating to wear more quickly.
Take off your jewellery before workouts or outdoor activities in warm weather.
🧼 Cleaning Tips
Routine Cleaning
Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and dust.
Avoid harsh cleaning products entirely.
Never Use:
❌ Hard-bristled toothbrushes
❌ Abrasive sponges
❌ Highly acidic solutions
❌ Powders (unless fully dissolved)
❌ Silverware cleaners or strong chemicals
Abrasive tools or products can damage the surface and shorten the life of the plating.
✨ Removing Tarnish
If your jewellery looks a little dull, try this gentle method:
Soak your piece in warm water with grated Marseille soap for about an hour.
Rinse thoroughly under clean water to remove any residue.
Dry with a soft cloth, patting rather than rubbing.
🛑 Removing Stains or Discolouration
Vinegar Paste
Mix equal parts vinegar, flour, and salt to form a light paste.
Apply gently to the affected area, then rinse.
Lemon Method
Dip a cotton bud into slightly diluted lemon juice and lightly dab the stain.
Immediately wipe the area with a cloth dampened with mineral water to neutralise acidity.
Finish With a Microfibre Cloth
A soft microfibre cloth will restore shine without scratching.
💡 Pro Tip: Be Gentle
Always use your fingertips to apply cleaning solutions and massage lightly.
Avoid scrubbing — this helps protect the plating and keeps your jewellery looking its best.
