Jewellery Care Guide

Fine jewellery lasts for generations with a little care.

• Remove jewellery before bathing, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
• Apply perfume, lotion and hairspray before putting jewellery on.
• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.
• Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box, away from moisture.
• Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning for stone-set, plated or oxidised pieces.

Gold and platinum

Soak briefly in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, brush gently with a soft brush, rinse and pat dry.

Silver

Silver naturally darkens with air. Wipe with a silver polishing cloth and store in an airtight pouch. Do not polish oxidised silver, which is darkened on purpose.

Stones and pearls

Pearls and soft stones scratch easily: put them on last, take them off first, and wipe with a damp cloth only.

Plated and fashion jewellery

Keep away from water, perfume and sweat to preserve the plating, and store in the box it came in.
