How can I properly care for my jewellery and keep it in perfect condition?
Remove your jewellery before exercising, showering and swimming. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions or hair products. Chlorine, salt water can permanently damage or discolour them.
Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach, oil, or polishing cloths, since this can affect the finishing.
Avoid extreme humidity or heat, as this may potentially cause tarnishing. To make your silver jewellery last longer, it should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry place. Keeping your silver jewellery in its original package when it is not being worn will keep out the air that causes oxidation.
Your jewellery should always be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off when dressing. This is because jewellery is particularly susceptible to damage from the effects of chemicals present in perfume, hairspray, make-up, nail polish remover, body oils, sun tan lotion and deodorant.
Please consider removing your gold-plated jewellery before going to bed to prevent the buildup of body sweat and oils, which are known to accelerate jewellery tarnishing.
How long will my gold plaque jewellery last in normal wearing conditions?
Your jewellery is 18K plated gold with 2 micron anti-tarnish, which is the normal amount recommended. With regular wear, it will last you approximately 2- 3 years for earrings and necklaces.
Please keep in mind that regular wear means that you wear your few times a week. If you wear your jewellery every day, it may last for 1-2 years.
Hoe maak je vergulde sieraden schoon?
Voor de regelmatige reiniging volstaat het om een zachte doek te gebruiken en de onderdelen regelmatig af te vegen.
Verkleurde vergulde voorwerpen kunt u voorzichtig reinigen door ze met een zachte doek en een beetje milde zeep en water af te wrijven. Droog ze vervolgens af met een microvezeldoek. Om vuil dat in de groeven is vast komen te zitten te verwijderen, kunt u een wattenstaafje of een zachte tandenborstel gebruiken.
Als u nog steeds niet zeker bent van uw eigen schoonmaakvaardigheden voor vergulde sieraden, kunt u deze het beste naar een professionele reiniger brengen.
