Jewellery Care Instructions

Taking care of your Links London jewellery ensures it remains beautiful for years to come. Follow these detailed care tips for specific materials and jewellery types:

Cleaning

• Sterling Silver: Clean regularly with a silver polishing cloth to prevent tarnishing. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals.
• Gold: Gently polish with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using paper towels or tissues, as they may scratch the surface.
• Gemstones: Wipe stones with a damp cloth. Never soak porous gemstones (e.g., opals or pearls) in water, and avoid contact with oils and chemicals that may dull the stones.
• Enamel: Enamel charms or jewellery should be cleaned carefully with a soft cloth. Avoid exposing enamel to extreme heat or chemicals, as this may cause discolouration or damage.

Storage

• Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ideally, use the original jewellery box or a soft pouch.
• Keep pieces separate to avoid scratching, especially for items with delicate surfaces or stones. You can use anti-tarnish strips for silver jewellery.
• Avoid moisture: Moisture can accelerate tarnishing in silver and damage stones. Ensure your jewellery is completely dry before storing.

Wearing

• Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or participating in activities where excessive perspiration could occur. Chlorine, salt water, and chemicals can damage precious metals and gemstones.
• Apply perfumes, lotions, and hairspray before wearing jewellery to avoid chemical reactions that can tarnish metals and weaken stones.
• Be cautious when wearing rings or bracelets while performing manual tasks, as certain gemstones or softer metals (like gold) may scratch or chip.

Maintenance

• Professional cleaning: Every few years, consider taking your jewellery to a professional jeweller for a deep clean and inspection, ensuring prongs and clasps remain secure.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to air: Silver jewellery left out in open air may tarnish faster. Always store it when not in use.
