Care Instructions

FINE JEWELLERY

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Soak your jewellery in a bowl of lukewarm water to for ten minutes to loosen any build-up of dirt and grime. Extreme temperature changes may damage the jewellery, so avoid hot or ice-cold water.
  2. Add a few drops of cleaning essence on to the jewellery.
  3. Gently clean with the silky bristled brush. Make sure to clean the whole piece of jewellery and get into hard-to-reach places while being extra careful when cleaning fragile parts of the jewellery i.e. at a stone’s setting.
  4. Rinse thoroughly in clean water to remove essence residue and any other remnants of dirt.
  5. Dry gently with a microfiber cloth or leave on a cloth to air dry.

FOR ORGANIC GEMS, I.E PEARLS, ETC.:

  1. Add a few drops of essence on a warm wet microfiber cloth and gently rub each stone individually. Do not submerge the gemstones in water.
  2. Use the silky bristled brush to remove stubborn dirt and grime. Avoid pulling the stones through the cloth as this is liable to stretch or damage the string. Be careful and go gently.
  3. Dry the gemstones with the microfiber cloth. Excess moisture can build up in the drill holes and next to the knots causing discolouration. A hard blow with the breath or daubing with the cloth should remove this. Do not use a hairdryer to remove moisture, as the heat will damage the stones.

Notes:

  1. Never clean with steam, boiling or ultrasonic tools as these will irreversibly damage the gems.
  2. Gold is a very soft metal that is susceptible to scratching. Be as gentle as possible during the cleaning and drying process.
  3. Using household cleaners designed for different purposes may inadvertently expose your jewellery to harsh substances. Therefore, we strongly advise against resorting to such improvised methods for cleaning.
