If you want your jewellery to last for years to come, give it a little care each time you wear it and when you store it.
For gold plated jewelry, the best way to maintain its appearance is to remove it before cleaning, crafting, playing sports, swimming, showering or sleeping.
Please note that over time, water, perfume and rubbing can damage gold plated jewellery. They should therefore be taken care of and cherished.
The best way to protect your piece is to put it back in its jewellery box and clean it occasionally with a soft cloth.
Solid brass naturally develops a patina over time. Depending on your skin's pH and how you wear your jewellery, your piece may darken or brighten. This is a completely natural, non-toxic process that gives each piece its own unique character.
To keep your jewellery looking its best:
If your brass jewellery begins to lose its shine, it's easy to restore.
For everyday cleaning:
The natural acidity of the tomato helps remove oxidation and restore the brass's original shine.
For more stubborn marks:
Occasionally, sunscreen mixed with perspiration can leave stubborn stains on brass. If this happens, use a small amount of Brasso, available from most supermarkets and hardware stores. Apply with a soft cloth, gently polish the affected area, then buff clean. This will remove the marks and restore the jewellery's shine.
– Store with care: Keep your pieces in their case to shield them from sunlight, humidity, dust, and other elements.
– Last step in your routine: Pop your jewellery on after your skincare, perfume, or makeup, cosmetic products can be tough on delicate materials.
– Let them rest: Take off your jewellery before swimming, showering, working out, or sleeping to keep them in top shape.
