Caring for your Jewellery
During normal wear, your jewellery can pick up everyday residue from anything ranging from your natural skin oils to dust and pollution in the air.
Why not take a look at our Affinity aftercare subscriptions or follow our simple steps to keep your jewellery in tip top condition:
- Add a few small drops of mild dish soap to a bowl of lukewarm water. Add your jewellery items and allow to soak for 10-20 minutes.
- Use a soft bristle toothbrush, which is to be saved for jewellery use only to rub away any dirt trapped in hard to reach areas.
- Once your time is up, rinse your jewellery thoroughly and either allow it to air dry or use a soft, lint free cloth. Be sure not to use paper towels as these can cause scratches.
- Always avoid wearing your jewellery when applying make-up, other cosmetics and creams and hairspray/perfume.
- Always ensure you remove any jewellery items before cleaning, swimming or taking part in any sports/activities. This will minimise the risk of any damage to your precious metal items. If your item happens to come into contact with any chemical, be sure to rinse thoroughly straight away.
- Store jewellery items separately. Different metals and gemstones have different levels of hardness and can potentially damage each other.
- If you are unsure of any damage to your ring it is always best to get it checked by a professional as quickly as possible to avoid further damage.
- Regular checks and cleaning should be carried out by a professional at least every 6-12 months.
