Caring for your jewellery
I want your jewellery to last a lifetime, multiple lifetimes so it can be true heirloom jewellery passed from one generation to the next.
All pieces are designed and made with the utmost care and attention but to ensure that they stay looking their best, there are a few tips to help below:
Cleaning your jewellery
With day to day wear, jewellery can require a little bit of cleaning every now and then. To clean your pieces, I recommend using warm soapy water – normal dishwashing soap is fine for this, and a soft toothbrush – baby toothbrushes are ideal. Be very gentle as you scrub your piece where you can see dirt build up, then pat gently dry with some kitchen roll or similar and leave to fully air dry.
For more delicate pieces, such as pieces containing Pearls, Emeralds and other softer gemstones or porous materials, I don’t recommend using the soapy water option but just gentle cleaning with a soft cloth.
Ultrasonic jewellery cleaners are now readily available but I don’t recommend using these regularly and some gemstones (soft and porous gems) are not suitable for ultrasonic machines and can be damaged by them.
If your piece requires a through deep clean, please get in touch to discuss and I can arrange this for you.
