Jewellery Care Guide: Keeping Your Treasures Sparkling

Jewellery is not just an accessory; it’s an investment and a reflection of your personal style. Our jewellery is designed for everyday wear, but like all precious metals, it needs a little love to maintain its "just out of the box" shine. Here is our guide to caring for your gold vermeil and sterling silver:

1. Understanding Water-Resistant vs. Waterproof

While our pieces are high-quality and water-resistant (perfect for a quick shower or a workout), we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to chlorine or salt water. If you do take your jewels for a dip in the ocean, or you’ve ended up in the shower and realised you’re still wearing your plated pieces (we’ve all been there), just take a deep breath, remove your piece and leave it to dry until you’re done, simply rinse them with fresh water afterward and pat them dry. Tarnishing is not a manufacturing fault, it's simply to lack of caring for the pieces.

2. The "Last On, First Off" Rule

When wearing and handling your jewellery to protect the 14K and 18k gold vermeil plating, your jewellery should be the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you take off at night. Keep these practices in mind:

• Apply first - Makeup, perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays, this is to avoid residue build up.

• Put on last - Your Jewelconic pieces. This prevents chemicals from reacting with the metal.

• Remove when necessary - Take off your jewellery when swimming, exercising, or doing household chores to prevent damage.

• Lastly be mindful of heat - Avoid exposing your jewellery to extreme heat, which can weaken settings and damage stones.
  

3. Cleaning Jewellery at Home

You don’t need fancy cleaners! To keep your jewellery looking it's best, regular cleaning id crucial. Here are some tips:

• Use a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber or glasses cloth) to gently buff your pieces after wearing, this removes oils and dirt that can dull it's shine.

• For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water and a tiny drop of mild dish soap. Pat dry immediately—never leave your jewellery to air dry.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from bleach, ammonia, and other harsh chemicals that can damage your jewellery.

  
  

4. Jewellery Storage is Key

Proper storage is key to preventing scratches and tangles. When you aren't wearing your pieces, store them in your Jewelconic pouch or box or a lined jewellery box. Keeping them in a cool, dry place prevents oxidation and keeps them organised and seperate from scratching against other items. Avoid humidity, keeping your jewellery in a dry safe place as humidity can tarnish metals and damage stones. 5. Special Considerations to Different Materials

Different materials require unique care. Here’s a quick guide:

• Gold: Gold jewellery should be cleaned regularly, but avoid abrasive cleaners.

• Silver: Silver tarnishes over time; use a silver polish cloth for cleaning.

• Gemstones: Always check if your gemstones are treated; some may require special care.

• Pearls: Wipe pearls with a soft cloth after wearing and store them separately to avoid scratching.
  

Caring for your jewellery doesn’t have to be complicated. By following these simple tips, you can ensure your treasured pieces stay beautiful and last for years to come. Remember, your jewellery reflects your unique style, so treat it with the care it deserves!
