Jewellery is a delicate product which requires expert handling if damaged or broken. Follow these simple steps to avoid the hassle of repairing and ensure a lifetime of wear.

STORE IN ZIP LOCK PACKETS

Pure silver has a natural tendency to tarnish when exposed to air, moisture and chemicals. Therefore, when not in use store your jewellery in an airtight zip lock packets. Not only does this prevent tarnishing and oxidisation, it also keeps your pieces well organised and easy to find.

AVOID HARD SURFACES

Do not store your jewellery directly on hard surfaces like stone, plastic, wood etc. Instead, line your jewellery boxes or drawers with soft mul mul or leftover bubble paper and foam from e-commerce and other packaging. This will avoid abrasion of the metal, stones and enamel work.

NO DUMPING

Remember to handle your jewellery gently. Don’t dump it all in one box. Keep in separate compartments and packets to avoid scratching, chipping and entanglement.

CHALK IS YOUR FRIEND

Yes chalk! Or even packets of silica gel and camphor. Keep them in your jewel box to absorb ambient moisture. 

DON’T USE TOOTHPASTE

Leave this for your teeth. This popular home remedy does more harm than good. The abrasive nature of toothpaste will damage the metal as well as stones and pearls.

GENTLE RUB

Clean your silver with a soft cleaning cloth to remove light tarnishing. Do not use liquid cleaners on pieces with carving as it seeps into the engraving. Liquid cleaners can also damage stones, pearls and kundan.

JEWELLERY LAST

When getting ready, always wear your jewellery after using cosmetics, skincare products, hairspray and perfume to avoid contact with chemicals that may cause damage to the silver, stones and pearls.

AVOID WATER AND EXTREME HEAT

To preserve the 22kt gold polish, avoid contact with water, chemicals and prolonged exposure to heat. Bangles and rings with stones and gold-plating should be removed before washing hands. The soap forms a film over the stones and dulls the appearance.

WEAR OFTEN

Yes! We all have our favourites but believe it or not, wearing your jewellery often and in rotation keeps it happy and shiny.
