Jewellery Care & Maintenance♡

At Jew-el, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality, durable jewellery that is designed to last. Our pieces are crafted with care using premium materials to ensure both beauty and longevity. To help keep your jewellery looking as stunning as the day you received it, here are a few tips on how to care for your items:

What We Use♡

  • Waterproof & Tarnish-Free: All our jewellery is waterproof and tarnish-resistant, ensuring that it stays shining bright no matter where life takes you.
  • Hypoallergenic: Our pieces are designed with sensitive skin in mind. Rest assured that all of our jewellery is hypoallergenic and suitable for everyday wear.
  • Materials:
    • Base Metals: Titanium steel, stainless steel
    • Plating's: 14ct gold, 18ct gold, rhodium
    • Sterling Silver: 925 sterling silver for a premium finish
    • Gold: 9ct - 18ct gold
    • Gemstones: Lab-grown stones such as Moissanite and Cubic Zirconia for a sustainable, high-quality sparkle.
    • Diamonds: VS1 and VVS1 clarity diamonds have minimal to no visible inclusions, ensuring exceptional brilliance and sparkle. To maintain their beauty, clean gently with mild soap and store separately from other jewellery to avoid scratches.

Jewellery Care Tips♡

  • Keep It Dry: While all our jewellery is waterproof, it’s always a good idea to avoid exposing it to excessive moisture for long periods. This includes swimming, showering, or exposing it to lotions, perfumes, or harsh chemicals. 
  • Store Properly: When you're not wearing your jewelry, store it in a dry, cool place. Consider using a jewellery box or pouch to avoid scratches and prevent the pieces from tangling.
  • Clean Gently: To maintain the brilliance of your jewellery, clean it gently with a soft cloth. For silver pieces, you can use a silver polishing cloth to restore shine. For gemstone pieces, avoid abrasive cleaners and use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe away any dirt or oils.
  • Avoid Scratching: While our titanium and stainless steel pieces are incredibly durable, it’s always best to remove your jewellery before engaging in any activities that could cause scratches or damage, such as heavy lifting or sports.
  • Routine Inspection: Check your jewellery regularly for any signs of wear or damage, particularly for prong-set stones. If you notice any issues, please reach out to us so we can assist with repairs or maintenance.

 

Caring for Specific Materials♡

Titanium Steel & Stainless Steel: These materials are highly resistant to tarnish and scratches but can accumulate dirt over time. A gentle wash with mild soap and warm water can keep them looking fresh.

Sterling Silver: While sterling silver is tarnish-resistant, it can still develop a patina over time. Regular cleaning with a silver cloth or professional cleaning service will keep it gleaming. 

Gold:Gold jewellery is durable but can still tarnish over time. Clean with a soft cloth and store separately to avoid scratches, keeping your pieces shiny and pristine.

Gold & Rhodium Plating: Our gold and rhodium-plated pieces are made to last, but over time, the plating may wear off due to regular use. To preserve the plating, avoid wearing your jewellery while doing chores or using harsh chemicals.

Moissanite & Cubic Zirconia: These lab-grown gemstones are incredibly durable and resistant to scratching. However, to maintain their sparkle, keep them away from abrasive surfaces, and gently clean with a soft cloth.

Diamonds: Take care of your diamonds by cleaning them regularly with mild soap and a soft brush to remove dirt. Store your jewellery separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent scratches. Avoid exposing diamonds to harsh chemicals or cleaning agents, and remove them before engaging in physical activities to prevent any damage.
