How to Care for Jewellery That Lasts a Lifetime

A timeless piece of jewellery deserves care that keeps it shining for years to come. Whether it’s a bold statement necklace or a delicate silver bracelet, looking after your jewellery ensures it stays as beautiful as the day it was made.

Clean with care

Different materials require different approaches. Silver benefits from a soft polishing cloth to remove tarnish, while gold-plated pieces need a gentle wipe with a damp cloth to avoid wearing away the plating. Costume jewellery should be kept dry and lightly wiped after wearing to remove any oils or residues.

Store it properly

The way you store your jewellery makes a huge difference. Keep pieces in a lined jewellery box, separate from each other to avoid scratching. Anti-tarnish pouches or soft cloth bags work wonders for silver. And remember — humidity speeds up tarnish, so avoid keeping your jewellery in the bathroom.

Wear it wisely

A little mindfulness goes a long way. Take jewellery off before swimming, showering, or applying perfume. Chemicals, lotions, and even sweat can dull the finish over time. By removing jewellery during these moments, you’re preserving its beauty.

Give Your Jewellery a Gentle Refresh

Over time, jewellery can naturally lose some of its shine. A gentle clean with the appropriate cloth or care method can help restore its appearance. Check clasps and fastenings regularly too, and if anything feels loose, have it repaired before wearing the piece again.
