Jewellery Care – A Simple Guide for a Long Life

Our jewellery is made to be lived in. With a few simple habits it stays beautiful for years – here is everything you need to know, organised by material.

Stainless steel – handles almost anything

Shower, swim and train freely – our waterproof steel jewellery only needs a wipe with a soft cloth now and then.

Gold-plated jewellery – last on, first off

Let perfume and lotion dry before your jewellery goes on, and take it off first when you get home. Polish gently without products – a soft cloth is enough.

Brass and plating

Avoid water and store dry – that is how the plating keeps its shine the longest. Read more about brass jewellery and plating.

Storage

Cool, dry and preferably separated – no tangled chains, no scratched surfaces. A jewellery box keeps everything in its place at home, and our vegan leather travel case protects your favourites in a suitcase.
