Jewellery Care

• Last on, first off

  Put your jewellery on after perfume, lotion and hairspray, and take it off before anything else. Cosmetics are the fastest way to dull a finish.

• Keep it dry

  Remove pieces before swimming, bathing or exercising. Chlorine and sweat both attack plating and can loosen stone settings over time.

• Store separately

  Store each piece in its own pouch or compartment. Jewellery scratches jewellery — a shared box is the most common cause of damage we see.

• Clean gently

  Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Never use chemical cleaners or ultrasonic machines on kundan, polki or pearl — they will destroy the setting.

A note on kundan and polki: these are set with natural lac, not glue. Never soak them, and never use an ultrasonic cleaner — the lac softens and the stones will lift. A dry cloth is all they ever need.
