Caring for your Fine JewelleryUpdated a year ago

9ct gold and sterling silver are beautiful for everyday wear, but can still be delicate, so please handle them with care.

To avoid accidental damage, Jewellery should be removed before sleeping, exercising, swimming, bathing, and undertaking physical activity.

Avoid direct contact with perfumes, hairspray, soaps, shampoo, chlorine, cosmetics, moisturisers, and saltwater as these may be harmful to your jewellery. Items should be stored individually in the velvet jewellery pouch provided with purchase and placed in a cool dry moisture-free place when not being worn.

Lightly wipe your jewellery with a jewellery cloth after each wear. For pieces set with crystals, do not use any jewellery cleaning solutions, as this may affect the lustre and loosen the setting of the stones. To clean these more delicate items, use a tissue or soft polishing cloth to wipe away any grease or marks.

Please note: It is a natural reaction for your 925 sterling silver jewellery to blacken over time. 925 Sterling Silver darkens due to daily use, as well as for other reasons. One of the most common reasons is the use of products such as perfumes, shampoos, cosmetics and cleaning products. In addition, this metal can also become contaminated by reacting with small particles in the air, such as sulphur found in the atmosphere in the form of sulphide or hydrogen sulphide. Another factor to consider is the PH of our skin. If it tends to be acidic, there is more chance that the silver will turn black.
