Jewellery Care | Kathleen Mcauliffe Dingle

Jewellery is more than an accessory — it’s an expression of style and a keepsake that can last a lifetime. To keep your pieces looking beautiful, proper care is essential. Here’s how to make sure your jewellery stays in perfect condition.

1. Keep It Clean

Regularly wipe your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt. For gold or silver pieces, a gentle jewellery cleaner can help restore shine — just make sure it’s suitable for the material.

2. Store It Safely

Store your jewellery in a dry, cool place. Keep pieces separate in soft pouches or a jewellery box with compartments to prevent scratches and tangling.

3. Avoid Chemicals

Perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners can damage metals and gemstones. Put your jewellery on after applying beauty products and remove it before cleaning or swimming.

4. Handle With Care

Take care when putting on and removing delicate chains or earrings. Avoid wearing fragile pieces during sports, heavy work, or activities where they could snag.

5. Regular Checks

Check clasps, stones, and settings regularly. If something feels loose, take it to a professional jeweller for repair — a little maintenance goes a long way.
