Jewellery Care Guide

Each piece from Kendall’s Jewellery Box is thoughtfully designed and made to be treasured. To ensure your jewellery maintains its beauty, brilliance, and quality over time, proper care is essential. Below are care tips specific to the materials we use.

⸻

General Jewellery Care
• Gently wipe each piece with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove natural oils, sweat, and residue.
• Store pieces individually in a soft pouch, airtight bag, or jewellery box to prevent scratches, tangling, and tarnishing.
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and household chemicals, as they can affect the finish and plating.
• Remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing, sleeping, exercising, or cleaning to prevent unnecessary wear or damage.
• Keep pieces away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

⸻

Plated Jewellery Care

Our plated pieces are water-resistant and designed for everyday wear, but proper care will prolong their beauty.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water, especially hot water or chlorinated pools.
• Do not use jewellery cleaners, polishing cloths with abrasives, or harsh chemicals on plated pieces.
• Expect natural fading over time with regular use — this is normal, but can be minimized with gentle care and storage.

Sterling Silver Jewellery Care (.925)

Sterling silver is a precious metal that can tarnish over time but is easily restored with proper maintenance.
• Use a silver polishing cloth to gently buff your piece when it begins to dull or darken.
• Store sterling silver in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch when not in use.
• Avoid exposing silver to moisture and chemicals, which accelerate tarnishing.
• Wearing your silver jewellery regularly can actually help prevent tarnish, as the natural oils in your skin act as a gentle cleanser.

Lab-Grown Diamond Jewellery Care

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds and require similar care to natural ones.
• Clean your diamond pieces regularly with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
• Store separately to avoid scratching other pieces (or the diamond itself).
• Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners unless professionally advised.
• Lab-grown diamonds are durable, but settings still require care — check occasionally to ensure stones are secure and prongs are intact.

Final Tips
• Treat your jewellery gently — while beautifully made, fine and plated jewellery can still be delicate.
• If a piece requires repair or cleaning beyond routine care, we recommend contacting a trusted jeweller or reaching out to us for guidance.
