HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY JEWELLERY?

Many factors can influence the wear and tear of jewellery. Therefore you should make sure that your jewellery is properly cleaned, repaired and stored. Always protect your jewellery from sharp blows, scratching, chemicals, sunlight and heat/cold to minimise these effects. Ideally, store your jewellery in a soft lined box or pouch and try to keep pieces apart, so that they dont rub together or tangle up. It is also recommended that you visit a jeweller once a year to have your jewellery cleaned professionally. This will keep them looking their best.

Vermeil on Sterling Silver can fade after time, so in order to keep your plated jewellery looking it's best, we offer a replating service at the following charges:

£10 for small items (rings, pendants) £20 for larger items (Bracelets, earrings, necklaces) £50 for cuffs

CARE OF SILVER

Like all jewellery, avoid wearing silver in chlorinated water. This will discolour it. also make sure that silver is stored away from excessive light and air as these can further tarnish the jewellery. Keep the silver in a dark, cool and dry place.

CARE OF GOLD

Retaining the value and appearance of your gold jewellery is quite simple. Here are a few steps to help you do this.

- because soap tends to cause a film that can make gold appear dull and dingy, its worthwhile removing your jewellery when you shower or bathe.

- a soft jewellery polishing cloth with tarnish preventive will help you keep the gold pieces lustrous and shining.

CARE OF GEMSTONES

It's simply a matter of knowing what and what not to do when taking care of your precious stones.

- the best single piece of advice we can give you is to wipe your precious stone jewellery with a clean, soft damp cloth after wearing. This little habit will ensure that your jewellery is always looking its best.

- when your gemstone jewellery is not being worn, storage in a soft pouch is recommended.

- there are some things to avoid. salt water and harsh chemicals such as chlorine bleach or detergents can cause damage. The chemicals erode the finish and polish of the gems leaving them dull. hairspray, perfume and perspiration can also cause dullness if not regularly cleaned off.

Silver can tarnish very easily. To help prevent this, simply clean with a mild soap and water solution. Alternatively, a silver cleaner or soft felt cloth may be used, but tissue paper or paper towels will cause scratches.
