Preventing TarnishingUpdated 5 hours ago

Tarnishing is a natural process that may cause the metal of your jewellery to lose its shine or change in colour over time. While this can happen more quickly for some wearers than others, simple care rituals can help preserve the beauty of your pieces. Store your jewellery in a clean, dry place with the anti-tarnish tabs included in your order

A jewellery box with a soft lining is ideal, protecting your pieces from scratches and exposure to the elements. Always avoid chlorinated water, and take special care with natural gemstones—use only mild soap and water to clean, and never polish directly onto the stone. When wearing your jewellery, minimise contact with makeup, hairspray, perfume, and lotions.

These, along with chemicals, when exposed to your metals, can accelerate tarnish. We also recommend removing your pieces before sleeping, exercising, showering, or any activity that may expose them to perspiration or risk of breakage. With a little care, your jewellery will continue to shine as beautifully as the day you received it.
