Please make sure to regularly clean your jewellery to remove oil, dust or contamination. Use simple, non-abrasive materials & specific products. Be careful not to scrub or to over-handle your jewellery (especially gold plated jewellery). Silver-dip type cleaners should only be used to clean silver jewellery, which must be rinsed & dried thoroughly afterwards. Gold & plated jewellery can be cleaned using specialist jewellery cleaners, as appropriate. Black rhodium should only be cleaned by using very fair fluid, and be extra careful not using metal on the black rhodium.

We recommend that you put your jewellery on after applying makeup & getting dressed in the morning & then to take it off at night before going to bed. Physically demanding activities may cause unnecessary wear to a piece of jewellery – so we recommend that you always make sure to take off your jewellery before physical house & garden work, cooking, swimming, bathing and sports activities.

Think about how you store your pieces, plated pieces should not go together with other harder pieces since they will easily get scratched. Your jewellery should be stored away from direct sunlight, damp, & extremes of either heat or cold. Specially designed jewellery boxes, like the Thor of Sweden boxes, with soft-lined, purpose built compartments are preferred for storage. Otherwise, try to keep the jewellery in the original boxes and packaging, as it is the easiest way to protect it from dust and damage.

Keep your accessories away from water and chemical agents to avoid discolouration and tarnishing. Many soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, and cooking grease can dull and/or damage any jewellery and should be avoided. Long term exposure to natural skin oils can also dull pieces, which is why we recommend removing jewellery overnight. If your jewellery do come into contact with any chemicals, use a dry soft tissue or towel to gently pat them dry.
