Store each piece individually in a soft-lined box or pouch to prevent scratching. Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight and humidity — a cool, dry drawer is ideal. Fasten clasps before storing to avoid tangling, and lay flat chains on a velvet tray rather than hanging them, which can stretch delicate links over time.
Remember: Your Jewellery Is Delicate
Handcrafted pieces are shaped by hand, not machines, their beauty lies in their uniqueness and the slight imperfections that make them one of a kind. Avoid wearing them during vigorous activities, gardening, or exercise. Remove rings before washing dishes, and never force a clasp. Treat each piece as the small work of art it truly is.
Maintaining and Cleaning
Gently polish your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and moisture. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap — never harsh detergents. Soak for a few minutes, then use a soft-bristle brush for crevices. Pat dry thoroughly before storing. For heavily tarnished silver, a professional jeweller’s polish is recommended.
Avoid Contact With Chemcials
Perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and household cleaning agents can tarnish metals and dull gemstones. Always put your jewellery on last, after applying cosmetics and fragrances, and remove it before swimming or cleaning. Even natural oils from your skin can affect certain finishes, so a quick wipe before storing goes a long way.
