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.

Quick Answers

Is moonstone durable?
Moonstone is softer than sapphire or diamond (6–6.5 on the Mohs scale). It's best suited to necklaces and earrings rather than everyday rings.

Will the stone lose its glow?
No — the glow (adularescence) is a natural optical effect and will not fade over time.

Is this piece heavy?
Yes — this is a substantial chain designed to be felt when worn.

Styling

Designed to be worn on its own — no layering needed
Works with open necklines, shirts, and simple knits
Sits at the collarbone — visible without overwhelming

Care

Clean with a soft cloth and store dry. Avoid impact, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaning — moonstone is a softer stone (6–6.5 Mohs). The bezel setting offers protection, but treat with a little care.
