Jewellery Care Tips

Cleaning
  • For daily maintenance, in between wears, use a polishing cloth to wipe down your jewellery dry before storing, including resin surfaces.
  • Occasionally, mild soap and water can be used to cleanse your jewellery, by lightly rinsing and thoroughly drying with a microfibre cloth.
  • Rubbing alcohol can be used to wipe down and disinfect metal parts of jewellery that come in contact with your skin, although long exposure or soaking in alcohol is not recommended as it may corrode jewellery.
  • Do not use rubbing alcohol on semi-precious stones, especially that of the organic variety such as opals and pearls, as it may lead to colour change or dissolving of organic coating.
  • While all our products are 14K/18K Gold-Plated or made of 925 Sterling Silver and will not tarnish easily, they are not immune to wear and tear that can expose the base metal alloys over time. Hence, it is important to be gentle in caring for your jewellery for a prolonged lifespan.
  • SS925 Sterling Silver naturally oxidises with time. The shine of Sterling Silver can be restored with the aluminium bath method. Simply mix the baking soda and vinegar into your aluminum-lined pan before adding boiling water. Then, soak your SS925 silver jewellery to the solution for about 30 seconds before rinsing, drying and buffing with a polishing cloth. This process may be repeated several cycles to fully restore the shine. 

 

Storage
  • Store all jewellery in a cool, dry and air-tight box or bag, away from sunlight to minimise oxidation and UV-degradation.
  • Avoid clumping jewellery together as this might result in tangling and scratching of the plating, accelerating the wear and tear process. 
  • SS925 Sterling Silver naturally oxidises with time. Hence, it is important to store them in a cool, dry and air-tight place, away from sunlight as this will accelerate the tarnishing process.
  • Wearing SS925 Sterling Silver jewellery often can actually slow down the tarnishing process as the natural oils in your skin act as a cleanser for silver snd keeps your jewellery shiny. With proper care, SS925 jewellery can last a lifetime.
