Helpful advice for keeping your memorial jewellery clean, protected and beautiful for years to come.
Memorial jewellery is designed to be treasured and worn for many years. With a little care and attention, your keepsake can continue to look beautiful while preserving the memories it represents.
Different materials require different levels of care, but a few simple habits can help protect your jewellery from unnecessary wear, damage and discolouration.
Remove jewellery before swimming, bathing or prolonged exposure to water.
Perfumes, cleaning products and cosmetics can affect jewellery finishes.
Keep jewellery in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not being worn.
Use a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and maintain shine.
Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain the appearance of your jewellery. A soft microfibre or jewellery polishing cloth is usually all that is needed to remove fingerprints and everyday marks.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, rough cloths and harsh chemicals, as these can damage finishes, resin settings and engraved details.

Jewellery should always be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. This simple habit helps reduce contact with perfumes, cosmetics and household products.
