Jewellery Care
Five tips for care and cleaning
Our jewellery is of the highest quality, and if you take proper care of it, it can last you a lifetime. Here are five tips to help:
Everyday wear
Please make sure your jewellery does not come into contact with perfumes, soap, chemical products or cosmetics, as these could affect the colour and natural appearance of the materials. We recommend waiting until your perfume or cosmetics have dried completely before putting on your jewellery. Please also ensure your jewellery does not come into contact with hard materials such as marble or stone.
Cleaning
It is easy to clean a lot of our jewellery yourself simply using a soft tissue.

Make sure that your pieces of jewellery are stored separately from each other. Some gems are extremely hard and strong and can scratch or damage each other if they come into direct contact. When you purchase a piece of jewellery, we will ship you a matching box case which you can use to store it and take it with you on your travels.
