💍LBH Jewellery Care Guide
Because your sparkle deserves to shine for years to come.
💍Why Jewellery Care Matters
Jewellery isn’t just an accessory—it’s a little piece of memory, personality, and often, love. But while metals and gemstones may look strong, they’re surprisingly delicate when it comes to everyday life. Air, moisture, chemicals, and even how we store our jewellery can affect its appearance and lifespan. With the right care, you can keep your favourite pieces shining and safe for years, even generations.
🩶💛Caring for Precious Metals
✨Sterling Silver
Silver is beautiful and timeless—but it’s prone to tarnish when exposed to air and moisture.
- Wear often—your skin’s natural oils help prevent tarnish.
- Clean with a soft polishing cloth or mild soap + warm water.
- Avoid chlorine, bleach, perfumes, and hairspray.
- Store in anti-tarnish bags or airtight pouches.
✨Gold & Platinum
More resistant to tarnish, but still scratch or dull over time.
- Wipe regularly with a soft cloth.
- Use mild soap and water for deeper cleaning.
- Avoid abrasives or harsh cleaners.
- Store separately to prevent scratches.
✨Gold-Plated Jewellery
A delicate layer of gold that needs gentle care.
- Avoid water, sweat, and chemicals.
- Clean with a soft damp cloth only (no cleaners).
- Store in individual soft pouches.
- Can be re-plated by a jeweller if fading occurs.
📿Gemstone Care
💎Diamonds & Sapphires
Durable, but not indestructible.
- Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush.
- Store separately, as they can scratch softer stones.
🦪Pearls
Extremely delicate and organic.
- Gently wipe after each wear, never soak.
- Store flat in a soft pouch (not plastic).
- Benefit from being worn, as natural oils keep them from drying out.
✨Opals & Turquoise
Porous and soft stones.
- Avoid water, sunlight, and chemicals.
- Store in a dry, cushioned place.
- Clean gently with a soft dry cloth.
🌟Fashion / Costume Jewellery
Made with mixed metals, enamel, or adhesives.
- Wipe with a soft cloth after each wear.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
- Avoid perfumes, lotions, and water.
🎁Storing Your Jewellery
- Use a fabric-lined jewellery box with compartments.
- Keep anti-tarnish strips with silver.
- Store pieces individually to avoid tangles and scratches.
- Avoid damp bathrooms.
- For travel, use a jewellery roll. (Pro tip: thread necklaces through straws to prevent tangling!)
👍Everyday Do’s & Don’ts👎
Do:
- Put jewellery on after makeup, hairspray, and perfume.
