Jewellery Care

Our lockets and chains are designed to be worn and treasured for years. With the right care, your jewellery will maintain its beauty, finish, and sentimental value.

Caring for Your Locket

Lockets are delicate pieces designed to hold meaningful memories. To keep your locket in the best condition:

Avoid exposing your locket to water, including swimming, bathing, or showering.
Remove your locket before applying perfumes, lotions, or cosmetics, as chemicals can affect the metal and finish.
Open and close the locket gently to protect the hinge and clasp.
Avoid dropping or knocking the locket against hard surfaces.
When not worn, store your locket in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratches.

If your locket contains a photo, the image is protected with a perspex cover. However, prolonged exposure to moisture or chemicals may affect the photo over time, so extra care is recommended.

Caring for Your Chain

Chains experience daily movement and friction, so proper care helps prevent wear:

Avoid sleeping while wearing your chain to prevent tangling or stress on the links.
Remove your chain before physical activity or heavy lifting.
Store chains flat or hung individually to avoid knots.
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove oils and residue.

Sterling Silver Care

Sterling silver may naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air and moisture. This is normal and not a fault.

To maintain shine:

Clean regularly with a soft polishing cloth.
Store in an airtight pouch when possible.
Avoid contact with household cleaners or chemicals.
Gold-Plated Jewellery Care

Gold-plated sterling silver requires extra care to preserve the plating:

Avoid water and moisture whenever possible.
Do not use abrasive cloths or polishing solutions.
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth only.
With proper care, gold-plated jewellery will retain its finish for longer.

Cleaning Your Jewellery

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean your locket and chain.
Do not use harsh chemicals, dips, or ultrasonic cleaners.
Avoid over-cleaning, especially for gold-plated pieces.

Long-Term Care & Wear

Jewellery is designed to be worn, but mindful care helps extend its life. Removing your locket before sleeping, showering, or exercising will significantly reduce wear and preserve both its appearance and sentimental value.

A Final Note

Normal wear and tear, tarnishing, or fading due to daily use is not considered a fault. Proper care will help ensure your locket remains a meaningful keepsake for years to come.
