Jewellery Maintenance Tips
Please refrain from bringing your jewellery in direct contact with perfumes, lotions, sprays and other cosmetics that can potentially damage them. Do not use harsh cleaning agents to clean your jewellery for example alcohol, bleach, ammonia etc. If you feel the need to clean your jewellery, use some mild soap with warm water and a soft cloth. Do not put any form of pressure on the jewellery as by doing so, you will most definitely damage them beyond repair. Remember to store your jewellery away from extreme weather and temperature conditions, always in their original box or a protective pouch to safeguard against accidental damage.
