London Juels Jewellery Care Instructions

1. Handling & Daily Use

• Remove Before Exposure: Always take off your jewelry before bathing, swimming, or during workouts. Water and body chemicals can gradually wear down the precious gold plating.
• Avoid Direct Contact with Chemicals: Keep your piece away from perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, and cleaning products. Applying these on or near your jewelry can affect its luster over time.

2. Cleaning Routine

• Gentle Wiping: Regularly use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe away fingerprints and light dust. This simple step goes a long way in maintaining the piece’s subtle shine.
• Mild Soapy Clean: For a deeper clean, mix a drop of mild detergent in lukewarm water.

3. Storage

• Individual Storage is Key: When not adorning your piece, store it in a soft fabric pouch or a separate compartment of a lined jewelry box. This protects it from scratches and minimizes exposure to air.
• Prevent Overcrowding: Ensure that each item has its own space, preventing friction between pieces that can lead to premature wear.

4. Maintenance Tips

• Allow It to Rest: Just as you wouldn’t wear the same outfit day after day, give your jewelry moments of rest. This helps in maintaining its vibrancy and overall lifespan.
• Regular Inspections: Periodically check for any signs of wear or fading. A little routine care can prevent larger issues over time.
• Consult a Professional: If you notice significant discoloration or damage, seek advice from a trusted jeweler experienced with delicate, gold-plated pieces.
