Jewel Care

At Wayfarer Jewels, we understand that your jewellery is a reflection of how precious you are, so it’s important to look after them.

To keep your solid gold and sterling silver pieces looking their best, a little care and attention can go a long way. Here are some essential tips to ensure your jewellery retains its beauty for years to come.

Solid Gold Jewellery Care

Solid gold jewellery is beautiful and also incredibly durable. To maintain its lustre, make sure you:

Regularly Clean: Gold doesn’t tarnish, but it can accumulate dirt and oils from your skin. Gently clean your gold pieces with a soft, lint-free cloth or a dedicated gold cleaning solution that does not contain any harsh chemicals, such as chlorine, which can dull the metal’s shine.

Lucky for you, you won’t have to look too far as we also stock the amazing jewellery cleaning elixir, Alchemy.

Proper Storage: When you’re not wearing your gold jewellery, store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a jewellery box or pouch to prevent scratches and tangling.

Safe Handling: Put your jewellery on after applying cosmetics, perfumes, or lotions. This will prevent these substances from coming into direct contact with your gold and potentially causing damage.

Sterling Silver Jewellery Care

To ensure your silver pieces maintain their charm, follow these care tips:

Polishing: Silver can tarnish over time. Gently polish your sterling silver jewellery with a soft cloth or a silver cleaning solution to remove any tarnish and restore its shine. Better yet, use the Alchemy Sparkle Kit as mentioned above!

Storage: Store your silver jewellery in an airtight container or a soft jewellery pouch. This prevents exposure to air, which can cause tarnishing.

Wear It Often: Surprisingly, wearing your silver jewellery frequently can help prevent tarnish buildup, as the friction with your skin naturally keeps it cleaner.

Avoid Moisture: Remove your silver jewellery before showering or swimming, as exposure to moisture can expedite tarnishing.

Gentle Handling: Silver is relatively soft, so be cautious to avoid scratching. When not in use, separate your silver pieces to prevent them from rubbing against each other.

With these tips in mind, your Wayfarer Jewels will continue to complement your aesthetic and inner spirit for years to come.

Embrace the unique character that time imparts to these materials, and wear them with confidence, knowing they’re an extension of your individuality and style.
