Our pieces are Hand Crafted with care, using fine silver and, in selected designs, gold plating. With a little attention, your jewellery will retain its beauty and lustre for years. Please follow the guidance below.
General Care Tips
- Put jewellery on after applying perfume, lotion, makeup, or hair products. Chemicals can dull the surface and affect plating.
- Remove jewellery before bathing, swimming, exercising, or doing household work.
- Avoid contact with water, sweat, chlorine, salt water, and harsh cleaning agents.
- Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or the original box to prevent scratches and tangling.
- Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight and humid areas such as bathrooms.
Silver Jewellery Care
Silver can naturally develop a soft tarnish over time when exposed to air and moisture. This is normal and does not mean the piece is damaged.
To clean silver jewellery:
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre or jewellery cloth after every wear.
- For light tarnish, use a silver polishing cloth designed for jewellery.
- You may use a mild silver cleaning solution if needed always follow the product instructions and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry completely.
- Avoid abrasive powders, toothpaste, or hard brushes, as these can scratch the surface.
Storage tip: Store silver pieces in an airtight pouch or box with an anti-tarnish strip if available.
Gold-Plated Jewellery Care
Some of our designs feature gold plating over silver. The plating is delicate and requires gentle handling to preserve its finish.
To care for gold-plated pieces:
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and moisture.
- Do not use silver polish, chemical cleaners, or ultrasonic cleaners on gold-plated jewellery these can remove or damage the plating.
- Avoid rubbing the surface vigorously.
- Keep away from water, perfume, and chemicals as much as possible.
- Store separately and avoid stacking with other jewellery.
With proper care, gold plating will maintain its appearance for a long time. Over years of regular wear, plating may naturally thin in high-friction areas; this is expected and not a manufacturing defect.
What to Avoid
| Avoid | Reason |
| Perfume, deodorant, hairspray | Can discolour silver and weaken plating |
| Water, swimming pools, sea | Causes tarnish and plating wear |
| Household cleaners & chemicals | Corrodes metal and finishes |
| Excessive rubbing or polishing | Scratches surface and removes plating |
| Sleeping or exercising while wearing | Increases wear, bending, and breakage risk |
Everyday Best Practice
- Last on, first off — wear jewellery after dressing and remove it first when undressing.
- Wipe after every use with a soft cloth.
- Store properly in a dry, soft pouch or box.
- Clean only when needed, using the gentlest method suitable for the piece.
