Cleaning & Aftercare

Sterling Silver

The more you wear it, the more it shines. That said, everyone's skin is different: body chemistry, sweat and summer heat can darken silver or leave it looking dull. That's normal, and it's fixable.

To clean it, you have a few options:

• A jewellery cleaning cloth works great.
• Mild soap, warm water and a soft brush (a toothbrush or nail brush does the job).
• The classic trick: line a small bowl with aluminium foil, add hot water, two tablespoons of cleaning vinegar and a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. Submerge the piece for a couple of minutes, scrub gently, rinse, and done.

Storing silver

Silver oxidises in contact with air, so if you're not wearing a piece for a while, wrap it in tissue paper and seal it in a small zip-lock bag. Not the most glamorous solution, but it's the jeweller's trick that works.

A note on stones

Stones are set in a way that lets light pass through them. That's what makes them sparkle. Creams, oils and lotions clog that space and kill the shine. Put your jewellery on last, after skincare and perfume.

Gold-plated pieces

Gold plating is a very thin layer bonded to silver. Friction removes it, so no scrubbing, no soap, no water. A dry soft cloth is enough. The good news: we plate with 24K gold, which oxidises less than lower karats, so it won't darken over time. It will wear with use, and it can fade faster depending on your skin's pH and chemistry. That's just the nature of plating.

For solid gold pieces, jewellery cloths work well, or you can clean them the same way as silver.
