We pride ourselves on offering premium water-resistant stainless steel jewellery designed to stay beautiful even with daily wear. However, even the most durable jewelry needs a little care to keep it looking its best for years to come. Whether you have stainless steel or gold-plated stainless steel pieces, here’s how to care for each type:
Caring For Stainless Steel Jewellery
-
Rinse After Water Exposure: Stainless steel is water-resistant, but after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, it’s a good idea to rinse it with fresh water to remove any residues that might dull its shine.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your jewellery away from perfumes, cleaning products, or skincare lotions, as these can leave residues that are difficult to remove.
-
Dry Thoroughly: After rinsing or cleaning, pat your jewellery dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid watermarks. Allow it to air dry for a few minutes for added care.
-
Clean Occasionally: Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to gently clean your jewellery. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the surface.
- Store Safely: When not in use, store your jewellery in a soft pouch or a separate compartment to prevent scratches. While stainless steel is tough, proper storage ensures it stays looking new.
Caring For Gold-Plated Stainless Steel Jewellery
Gold-plated stainless steel jewellery offers an added touch of elegance but requires a little extra care to preserve its beautiful finish. While we use advanced PVD plating techniques to make the gold layer more durable and longer-lasting, proper care is still essential to maintain its shine.
-
Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure: Although the stainless steel base is water-resistant, frequent exposure to water can eventually wear down the gold plating. It’s best to remove your gold-plated jewellery before swimming or showering to ensure its longevity.
-
Steer Clear of Chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, and harsh cleaning products can affect the gold plating. To minimise contact, apply these products before putting on your jewellery.
-
Gently Clean the Surface: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe your jewellery clean. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the gold plating.
-
Polish Lightly: For a fresh look, lightly polish your gold-plated jewellery with a microfiber or jewellery cleaning cloth. Avoid vigorous polishing, as this may wear down the gold layer over time.
-
Store Separately: To prevent scratches or tarnishing, store gold-plated pieces in a soft pouch or separate compartment, away from other items.
By following these simple tips, you can keep your jewellery looking as stunning as the day you got it. Plus, taking care of your jewellery isn’t just about maintaining its beauty—it’s about preserving the memories and meaning behind every piece.
