Q: How can I ensure my jewellery retains its sparkle and shine for years?
A: Proper care is essential for maintaining the brilliance of your jewellery. Regularly clean your pieces gently using a soft brush and mild detergent in lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials that may damage delicate surfaces. Removing jewellery before swimming, showering, or using household cleaners is essential, as the chemicals in these environments can harm metals and gemstones. Also, please remove jewellery before exercising or engaging in activities that cause sweating to keep it dry, as moisture can accelerate tarnishing.
Q: What should I do to protect my jewellery from tarnishing?
A: Keep your jewellery in a soft pouch or box to prevent scratches and tangles. To prevent tarnishing, store your jewellery in a dry and airtight container when not in use. Consider using anti-tarnish strips or pouches to absorb moisture and protect against oxidation.
Q: When should you inspect your jewellery, and when is it necessary to seek advice from an expert?
A: It is essential to check your jewellery regularly for signs of wear and loose stones to prevent further damage. You should inspect your jewellery periodically and get prompt repairs when needed. For proper care, seek guidance from a professional jeweller who can advise you on cleaning, maintaining, and repairing your jewellery.
Q: How should one address issues such as loose clasps or broken chains when noticed?
A: Prompt repairs are necessary to prevent more extensive damage. Entrust experienced artisans with repairs and adjustments.

Entrust our experienced artisans with repairs and adjustments, including resizing rings, restringing necklaces, and re-tipping prongs to restore your pieces to their original splendour.
