Everyday Wear

9kt gold is durable, but like all precious metals, it can still scratch or dull over time. We recommend removing your jewellery when exercising, swimming, or doing household tasks to avoid contact with hard surfaces and chemicals.

Avoid Chemicals

Perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and cleaning products can cause gold to tarnish or lose its lustre. Always put your jewellery on last when getting ready and remove it before applying any products.

Cleaning

To clean your gold, soak it in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Gently brush with a soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing cloths that are designed for silver.

Storage

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratches.

Professional Care

For deeper cleaning or polishing, we recommend visiting a professional jeweller. They can restore shine and check clasps, chains, and settings to ensure your pieces remain secure.

Everyday Wear

Platinum is exceptionally strong and resistant to wear, making it ideal for everyday pieces. However, it can still develop a soft matte finish, known as a patina, over time - a natural and desirable characteristic of platinum. If you prefer a high polish, a jeweller can easily restore its shine.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Although platinum is more resistant to tarnish and corrosion than gold, harsh chemicals such as chlorine or bleach can still dull its finish. Remove your jewellery before swimming or using harsh household chemicals.

Cleaning

Clean platinum with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. For a professional finish, occasional ultrasonic cleaning by a jeweller is recommended.

Storage

Store platinum separately from other jewellery to prevent scratches, especially against softer metals like gold or silver. Use a soft pouch or fabric-lined box.

Professional Care

We recommend having your platinum pieces checked and polished by a professional jeweller every few years. This helps maintain their natural brilliance and ensures settings remain secure.

Everyday Wear

Gold-filled jewellery is more durable than gold-plated pieces but still benefits from mindful wear. Avoid wearing it during workouts, swimming, showering, or sleeping, as moisture and friction can wear away the gold layer over time.

Avoid Water and Chemicals

It’s best to keep your jewellery dry. Avoid wearing gold-filled pieces in water unless you’re cleaning them, and if they do get wet, dry them promptly and thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Keep your pieces away from perfume, lotion, sunscreen, and cleaning products, which can dull the surface and cause tarnish.

Cleaning

To clean, use warm water, a few drops of mild soap, and a soft cloth or gentle brush. Rinse well, pat dry immediately, and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid harsh polishing cloths or chemical cleaners.

Storage

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or airtight container to minimise oxidation and prevent tangling or scratching. Keeping your jewellery in a cool, dry place will help preserve its finish.

Professional Care

If your jewellery begins to lose its lustre, a professional jeweller should be able to clean and lightly polish it to restore its appearance without damaging the gold layer.

Pearls are timeless and luminous treasures of the sea. As organic gems, they are more delicate than precious metals or stones and deserve a little extra care to preserve their natural beauty and lustre.

Last On, First Off

Always put your pearls on last when getting ready, after applying perfume, hairspray, or makeup, and take them off first at the end of the day. Pearls are porous and can be damaged by chemicals and cosmetics.

Avoid Water and Heat

Avoid wearing pearls while bathing, swimming, or exercising. Excess moisture, chlorine, or perspiration can dull their surface. Keep pearls away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can cause discolouration.

Cleaning

Use a cloth lightly moistened with lukewarm water and a tiny amount of mild soap. Never soak pearls or use ultrasonic or chemical cleaners. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.

Storage

Store pearls separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching. Keep them in a soft pouch or a fabric-lined box, ideally not airtight, as pearls benefit from a little natural moisture in the air. Avoid plastic bags, which can emit chemicals that harm the nacre.

Natural diamonds are among the hardest substances on earth, but even these brilliant stones need gentle care to maintain their sparkle and security. With regular attention, your diamonds will shine beautifully for generations.

Everyday Wear

While diamonds resist scratching, they can still chip if struck at certain angles or against hard surfaces. Avoid wearing your diamond pieces during activities such as sports, gardening, or heavy lifting to protect both the stone and its setting.

Avoid Chemicals and Lotions

Perfumes, hairsprays, creams, and household cleaners can leave residues that dull a diamond’s brilliance and damage the metal around it. Always put your jewellery on last when getting ready, and remove it before using cleaning products.

Cleaning

To restore your diamond’s natural sparkle, soak your jewellery in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Gently brush with a soft toothbrush, especially behind the setting where oils and dust can collect. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners unless advised by a jeweller.

Storage

Store diamond jewellery separately in a soft pouch or fabric-lined box to prevent it from scratching other pieces, or being scratched by them. Keep pieces with delicate settings especially well-protected.
