Jewellery Care Guide
Sterling Silver: Gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain shine. Silver Care Guide →
Solid Gold (9ct, 14ct, 18ct): Solid gold will not tarnish or peel, but it can gather oils and dust. Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to restore its brilliance.
18ct Gold Plate: Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions to preserve the gold layer. Gold Plate Care Guide →
Bronze: Over time, bronze develops a unique vintage patina. Polish to restore brightness or leave to age naturally. Bronze Care Guide →
Gemstones: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.
