Gentle cleaning

Soak plain gold pieces in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10-15 minutes, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Be careful with stones

Avoid soaking emeralds, pearls and other porous or treated gemstones. Wipe them with a soft, slightly damp cloth instead.

Smart storage

  • Store pieces separately in soft pouches to prevent scratches.
  • Keep jewellery away from perfume, chlorine and cosmetics.
  • Put jewellery on last when dressing, and take it off first.
