Jewellery Care

Jewellery is delicate by nature, and daily exposure to moisture, chemicals, and rough handling can impact its appearance over time. To keep your pieces looking their best:

• Put on your jewellery last and remove it first
  This helps prevent exposure to perfumes, lotions, and other products that may dull its shine over time.

• Wear your jewellery often
  Regular wear naturally slows down tarnishing as the oils from your skin create a protective layer.

• Remove jewellery before showering, bathing, working out, or swimming
  Exposure to water, sweat, chlorine, and saltwater can accelerate tarnishing.

• Avoid wearing jewellery while doing household chores
  Cleaning products, cooking oils, and rough surfaces can cause scratches or chemical reactions. If your jewellery comes into contact with harsh substances, rinse it immediately with clean water and pat dry.

• Protect your jewellery from extreme temperatures and humidity
  Heat and moisture can cause metals to expand or contract, affecting their integrity. Avoid leaving your jewellery in direct sunlight, hot cars, saunas, or humid environments.

• Handle with care
  Avoid dropping or knocking jewellery against hard surfaces, as gemstones and delicate metals can chip or scratch.

Proper storage is key to preserving the beauty of your jewellery, preventing scratches, tangling, and oxidation.

• Store each piece separately
  This minimises the risk of scratches, particularly for delicate gemstones like Mother of Pearl.

• Store jewellery in a jewellery pouch or box
  Protect your pieces from dust and moisture by storing them in the Pure Moments black velvet pouch or jewellery box included with every purchase.

• Keep jewellery in a dry environment
  Avoid placing it in humid areas, such as bathrooms, where excess moisture can cause tarnishing.

• Limit exposure to direct sunlight
  While moissanite remains unaffected by sunlight, Mother of Pearl and other delicate stones may gradually lose their luster if exposed for prolonged periods.

After each use, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, dust, and oils. If your jewellery is left unworn for extended periods, clean it once or twice a month to prevent oxidation and preserve its brilliance.

Step 1: Prepare a cleaning solution by filling a bowl with lukewarm water and adding a few drops of gentle dish soap.

Step 2: Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with the soapy water and gently wipe your jewellery, focusing on intricate details and hard-to-reach areas, especially around prongs.

Step 3: Rinse thoroughly under clean water to remove any soap residue.

Step 4: Dry gently by patting with a lint-free cloth or placing it on a soft cloth to air dry completely
