Our jewellery are delicate and they require specific care to ensure their beauty and durability over time. Follow our recommendations to preserve the shine and integrity of your pieces.
1. How to Wear Your Jewellery
Avoid contact with chemical products such as perfumes, creams, make-up and cleaning products.
Remove your jewellery before doing physical activities or household chores to avoid impacts and scratches.
Avoid contact with salt water, chlorine and excessive humidity, as they can cause damage to metals and stones.
2. How to Store Your Jewellery
Store your jewellery separately in its original box.
Avoid exposing pieces to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can alter the colour of some stones and metals.
Keep chains closed and unwound to avoid knots and breaks.
3. How to Clean Your Jewellery
For silver, gold or gold-plated jewellery, use a soft, dry cloth to gently polish.Avoid abrasive products or aggressive chemicals. If necessary, wash gently with warm water and neutral soap, drying well with a clean cloth.
For natural stones and pearls, use only a damp cloth and avoid submerging them in water.
4. Special Care for Different Types of Jewellery
Silver and Gold
The darkening of silver is a natural process due to oxidation; it can be removed with a polishing cloth of its own. Gold requires regular cleaning with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
Gold Plated Jewellery
Avoid contact with sweat, perfumes and cosmetics, as they can wear away the gold layer more quickly. Do not use brushes or rough cloths to clean.
Pearls and Natural Stones
Pearls are sensitive and should only be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.Natural stones can be cleaned with a damp cloth, but avoid prolonged submersion.
5. Maintenance and Assistance
Pieces in silver or gold can, with a few exceptions, always be restored. If the gold plating has worn off, it can be redone.
