Taking care of your precious metals with bloo & co.

General Jewellery Care Tips

  • Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising, or cleaning.
  • Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and household chemicals.
  • Put jewellery on last when dressing and remove it first at the end of the day.
  • Store pieces separately to prevent scratches and tangling.
  • Clean jewellery regularly using gentle methods appropriate for the material.
  • Have valuable or delicate pieces professionally inspected once a year.

Gold Jewellery

Gold jewellery should be cleaned with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth or brush. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. Store gold pieces in soft-lined boxes or fabric pouches to avoid scratches. Keep white gold pieces professionally re-plated when needed to maintain their bright finish.

Silver Jewellery

Silver naturally tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture. Store silver in airtight bags or anti-tarnish cloths. Clean with a silver polishing cloth or a silver-safe cleaner. Avoid leaving silver jewellery in humid environments such as bathrooms.

Diamond and Gemstone Jewellery

Diamonds and gemstones can collect oils and dirt that reduce their sparkle. Clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush. Some stones, such as opals, pearls, emeralds, and turquoise, are delicate and should never be soaked or exposed to harsh chemicals. Keep gemstone jewellery away from extreme heat and direct sunlight.

Pearl Jewellery

Pearls are delicate and require extra care. Wipe pearls with a soft cloth after wearing to remove oils and perspiration. Store them separately in a soft pouch and avoid airtight containers, as pearls need slight moisture to prevent drying out. Never spray perfume directly onto pearls.

Storage Recommendations

  • Use jewellery boxes with separate compartments.
  • Hang necklaces to avoid knots.
  • Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • Travel with padded jewellery cases for protection.

Professional Maintenance

Fine jewellery benefits from occasional professional cleaning and inspection. Jewelers can check prongs, clasps, and settings to ensure stones remain secure and the piece stays in excellent condition.

Consistent care keeps jewellery looking beautiful for years and helps preserve both sentimental and financial value.
