Jewellery Care Instructions
Proper care and maintenance will help keep your jewellery looking beautiful and ensure its longevity. Here are some guidelines for caring for solid silver, solid gold, and plated jewellery.
Solid Silver Jewellery
Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or our own polishing cloths to gently polish your silver jewellery. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with lukewarm water and dry thoroughly.
Storage: Store your silver pieces in a cool, dry place, ideally in a tarnish-resistant pouch or cloth to prevent oxidation.
Avoid Chemicals: Keep silver jewellery away from harsh chemicals, including household cleaners, chlorine, and perfumes. These can cause tarnishing and damage.
Regular Use: Wearing your silver jewellery regularly helps prevent tarnish, as the oils in your skin can keep it looking shiny.
Solid Gold Jewellery
Cleaning: Clean gold jewellery with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with lukewarm water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or our own polishing cloth.
Storage: Store gold pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratching.
Avoid Chemicals: Avoid exposing gold jewellery to harsh chemicals, including chlorine, bleach, and perfumes, which can cause discoloration or damage.
Polishing: For a professional shine, have your gold jewellery polished periodically by a jeweller.
Plated Jewellery
Cleaning: Clean plated jewellery gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaners that can wear away the plating.
Storage: Store plated pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to minimize contact with other items that can cause scratches or wear on the plating.
Avoid Moisture: Keep plated jewellery away from water, sweat, and humidity. Remove it before swimming, bathing, or exercising.
Chemicals and Perfumes: Avoid contact with chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics. Apply these products before putting on your plated jewellery and allow them to dry completely.
Touch-Up: Over time, the plating may wear off. Consider having your jewellery re-plated by a professional to restore its original appearance.
By following these care instructions, you can help preserve the beauty and longevity of your solid silver, solid gold, and plated jewellery.
What is ECO Plating?
Recycled Gold: To minimize environmental impact, we use recycled gold whenever possible. This reduces the need for new mining, conserves natural resources, and lowers our carbon footprint.
Green Chemistry: Our gold plating process employs eco-friendly chemicals and techniques. We utilise non-toxic solutions and advanced technologies to ensure that the plating process is safe for both our artisans and the environment!
