To assist you in caring for your cherished pieces, we have compiled jewellery care instructions that will help you maintain the shine, luster, and longevity of your jewellery. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your jewellery continues to sparkle and shine, just like the day you first received it.
Jewellery Care Instructions:
-
Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Keep your 18 ct gold-plated sterling silver jewellery away from harsh chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and household cleaners. These chemicals can damage the plating and cause discoloration. It is advisable to apply perfume, lotion, or hairspray before wearing your jewellery to minimize contact.
-
Remove During Activities: Remove your jewellery before engaging in activities such as swimming, exercising, or household chores. This will help protect your jewellery from exposure to sweat, chlorine, and other chemicals present in water or cleaning agents, which can accelerate the tarnishing process.
-
Store Properly: When not wearing your jewellery, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in a jewellery box or a soft pouch. Avoid storing multiple pieces together to prevent scratching or tangling. It is also recommended to store each piece separately to maintain its shine and prevent friction between items.
-
Avoid Exposure to Moisture: Keep your gold-plated sterling silver jewellery dry. Remove it before showering, bathing, or engaging in activities that involve excessive moisture. Moisture can cause the plating to fade and tarnish the metal underneath.
-
Clean Gently: To clean your jewellery, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away dirt and oils after each wear. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or brushes, as they can damage the gold plating. If necessary, you can use mild soapy water and a soft brush to clean the jewellery. Ensure thorough drying before storing.
-
Professional Maintenance: If you notice significant tarnishing or damage to the gold plating, it is advisable to seek professional cleaning or re-plating services. Professional jewellers have the expertise to restore the luster of your jewellery and ensure its longevity.
-
Rotate Your Jewellery: To prevent excessive wear on specific pieces, consider rotating your jewellery collection. This will allow each piece to have a rest period and minimize the risk of damage from continuous use.
By following these care instructions, you can extend the lifespan of your 18 ct gold-plated sterling silver jewellery and keep it looking as beautiful as the day you first wore it. Remember, proper care and maintenance will help you enjoy your jewellery for years to come.
