Jewellery Care

Proper care will help preserve the beauty and finish of your jewellery for many years. By paying attention to how your pieces are worn, cleaned and stored, you can maintain both the brilliance of the gemstones and the condition of the sterling silver.

Wearing Your Jewellery

External factors such as dust, pollution, cosmetics and perfumes can dull gemstones and accelerate tarnishing in sterling silver.

• Apply perfumes, oils and hair products before putting on your jewellery

• Remove jewellery before showering, swimming or bathing

• Avoid wearing jewellery during household cleaning or exposure to chemicals

• Oils from skin and humid environments can contribute to tarnish over time

Chlorine is particularly harmful to sterling silver and gemstones and can cause permanent damage or discolouration. Avoid wearing jewellery in swimming pools, hot tubs or when using chlorine-based cleaning products.

Caring for Gemstones

Some Crystal Life Australia pieces feature raw or natural gemstones. These stones can be delicate and require additional care.

• Avoid exposure to hot water, harsh chemicals and cleaning products

• Do not wear gemstone jewellery in water

• Handle gently, especially pieces containing raw or natural stones

• Avoid contact with hairspray, perfumes and cosmetic products

These precautions help prevent surface damage and preserve the natural character of the stones.

Cleaning Sterling Silver Jewellery

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. This is normal and can be easily managed.

• Clean silver using a soft silver polishing cloth

• Avoid allowing polish or cleaning products to come into contact with gemstones, as this may cause damage

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals

Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain the appearance of your jewellery.

Storing Your Jewellery

Proper storage helps prevent scratching, tarnish and unnecessary wear.

• Store jewellery in a dry, secure place

• Use an air-tight container or sealed bag where possible

• A tarnish-resistant jewellery box is recommended

• Keep jewellery away from heat and moisture

• Avoid placing heavy objects on top of stored jewellery

Be gentle when putting on or removing jewellery to reduce stress on both metal and stones.
