Jewellery is not indestructible but delicate so it’s important to take care of it:

• Gently rub gold and silver jewellery with a soft, clean cloth to maximise the shine.
• Jewellery set with gems can be brought to life by careful cleaning with a soft brush and soapy water, or with a proprietary jewellery cleaning solution. Try not to get threaded pearl or bead jewellery wet and only wet antique jewellery after specialist advice - you could ruin it.
• Wipe pearls with a soft damp cloth after wearing to remove perfume, hairspray and anything else likely to damage them. Don't use abrasive cleaners on jewellery.
• You can use silver 'dip' type cleaners on most silver jewellery - but rinse and dry them thoroughly. Don't use silver 'dip' type cleaning solutions on gold jewellery, only special jewellery cleaners.
• Keep jewellery carefully stored and separated - not jumbled together in a draw. Keep chains fastened so that they don't get tangled up.

• Take your jewellery off if you’re involved in any activity which could knock or damage it
• Take it off when you go to bed
• Keep it well away from chemicals, especially chlorine. If it does come into contact with chemicals, rinse it in water immediately
• Bathe and apply any lotions or perfumes before you put your jewellery on which can particularly damage stones like pearls or opals

Store it separately, ideally in a soft-lined box or case, so that your favourite pieces don’t tangle, rub or scratch one another.
