Jewellery Care - The 5 S'

Let’s talk about caring for your jewellery! There are 5 main things that can affect your jewellery negatively and by coincidence these all start with S!

1. Spray - always make sure you put moisturisers and perfumes on and wait for them to dry before you put your jewellery on. The chemicals in cosmetics can cause colour discolouration.

2. Sunlight - when storing your jewellery always keep it in a box or away from direct sunlight. Long periods of exposure to harsh rays can cause discolouration of metals and other materials such as resin!

3. Sweat - always take your jewellery off before exercising as the salt in your sweat can hasten tarnishing of the metal.

4. Shower - never shower with jewellery on as water is the biggest cause of jewellery tarnishing! This goes for washing hands when wearing rings too!

5. Swim - just like above, you don’t want to get your jewellery wet, but you especially don’t want to get it wet with chlorinated water! This harsh chemical really will damage your jewellery, so always make sure you take it off before getting in the pool!
