Jewellery care
Handmade jewellery is made to be worn. A few gentle habits keep it looking lovely for longer.
Everyday habits
- Put jewellery on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray.
- Take it off first: before washing, swimming, exercise or sleep.
- Keep pieces dry, and wipe off any moisture straight away.
Cleaning
Wipe each piece gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Avoid chemical cleaners, abrasive cloths and ultrasonic cleaners, especially on painted or coloured details.
Storing
Store pieces separately in their pouch or a lined dish so they do not scratch each other. Lay chains flat or hang them to prevent tangles, and keep earrings together in pairs.
Colour details
Painted and coloured elements are the most delicate part of many designs. Keep them away from water and creams, and avoid knocking them against hard surfaces.
