Caring for your Jewellery

Since silver and gold are natural elements, exposure to cosmetics and household chemicals such as bleach should be avoided. I recommend that you remove your jewellery before any activity that might lead to contact with chemicals.

To clean, regularly soak your jewellery in lukewarm soapy water (using detergent free soap) and gently clean using a soft toothbrush. Rinse well and wipe with a soft cloth.

When possible, it is best to store your jewellery in its original packaging or  box to ensure that it is protected from the elements of daily exposure.

Aftercare

While I expect my finishes to last many years, both the finishes and oxidisation techniques used on jewellery will wear off over time. I do offer a complimentary service for every piece I create with which I am happy to clean, polish or re-apply oxidised finishes without charge. Contact me for details hello@gemmagough.com
