Demi Fine Jewellery: Gold Plated, Gold Fill, and Sterling Silver


TIP #1:
Avoid contact with lotions, sprays, oils and perfumes. 
Do not use cleaning chemicals on your jewellery. It is recommended to use a soft microfibre cloth to wipe your items after each wear. This removes excess oils, lotions or perfumes that may have transferred from your skin.
(Helpful Habit: Jewellery should always be the last thing to put on in the morning, and the first thing to take off at night)

TIP #2:
Avoid moisture. Do not wear your jewels in water
(e.g. shower, swimming, sauna, hot tub) or while exercising.  
The moisture in the air is what starts the tarnishing process. Keeping your jewellery dry is one of the best ways to help keep its shine and sparkle. We recommend wiping your jewellery after wear with a soft, chemical-free cloth. To help prevent early tarnishing, items should be stored in an airtight bag.
TIP #3:
Store your pieces carefully. After wiping down your jewellery, store your items in individual bags to avoid scratching and tarnishing. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from humid environments (i.e. the bathroom). To prevent your chain necklaces from becoming tangled, simply run your fingers along the chain (with the clasp undone) from the middle out to the ends.
This trick helps any twists to be straightened out and is a great habit to get into before storing your favourite pieces so they are ready for you next time!

Fine Jewellery: 10Kt & 14Kt Solid Gold

When it comes to caring for your solid gold jewellery, proper maintenance is key to preserving its beauty and longevity. Here are some tips to help you keep your pieces looking their best:
TIP #1:
Avoid harsh chemicals.
Avoid exposing your gold jewellery to harsh chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and other cleaning agents. These chemicals can cause damage and discolouration to your pieces. We also suggest taking pieces off before engaging in anything that could scratch or misshapen your pieces (i.e. gardening or exercising) We recommend removing all jewellery before showering and sleeping.
TIP #2:
Clean your pieces regularly.
Clean your gold jewellery regularly using a mild soap and warm water. We recommend soaking your pieces first and then gently scrub with a soft brush to remove any dirt or residue. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth.
TIP #3:
Store properly.
Store your gold jewellery in a soft pouch or a jewellery box with compartments to prevent scratching and tangling. Keep each piece separate to avoid any potential damage.
