Rustic Freshwater Pearl and Gold Necklace

Every piece of jewellery is made with care and will give you many years of joy if looked after properly. Here are a few simple tips to keep it looking its best.

• Avoid contact with water, lotions, perfumes, hairspray, suncream/aftersun, shampoos, soaps and so on. It’s best to put your jewellery on last, after applying all make-up, hairsprays, perfumes, etc.
• It is not advisable to wear your jewellery when swimming, showering or bathing, or in such environments as a sauna, or when intensively exercising (due to sweat being not only wet, but also salty). You should never wear jewellery when using exercise equipment or equipment in the workplace where it could become caught in machinery.
• Included with your purchase is a small cleaning cloth which you can use from time to time to give your jewellery a gentle clean and polish. Take extra care with plated metals as cleaning too vigorously may cause the plated surface to become damaged. Gemstone jewellery should not be immersed in water for cleaning as this can damage the surface of the stones. If it needs a deeper clean, I would recommend taking your jewellery instead to a local jeweller that provides such services.
• It’s best to store your jewellery in a dark, dry place, like a jewellery box or similar, to reduce the risk of tarnish to the metal elements. However, if tarnish does occur, this can easily be removed using an anti-tarnish cloth.
