We would like to offer our top tips to you to help look after your jewellery at this time.
Remove Your Jewellery When Washing Your Hands or Using Hand Sanitiser
For your own protection we advise that you remove your rings while washing your hands to ensure you are not leaving any germs or bacteria underneath your rings and to make sure your hands are as clean as possible. This also includes while cleaning your hands with hand sanitiser, as leaving rings on will reduce the area being cleaned. Chemicals in the hand sanitiser may also be harmful to your jewellery.
Clean Your Jewellery Regularly
To reduce any risk, we would advise you clean your jewellery more often than usual. They should also be cleaned to avoid any chemical build up from soaps or sanitiser if you have been unable to remove them while washing your hands.
Cleaning Skeleton & Gear Designs
Due to the intricate nature of these designs it isn’t recommended to submerge them in water, as it may get into the mechanisms. We recommend you clean these with a jewellery cleaning cloth or wipe and give them a gentle polish to keep them sparkling. You should avoid getting soap or hand sanitiser in these pieces as they may be difficult to clean out and may damage the metal finishes.
Cleaning Silver & Gold Jewellery
Silver and gold jewellery can be cleaned in warm water with a jewellery cleaner or little washing-up liquid, you can also use a very soft toothbrush to give them a soft scrub and reach in any crevices or settings. Most gemstone jewellery can be cleaned in this way, including diamonds, sapphires and rubies, however softer stones, like pearls or lava stones, should not be cleaned in this way. They should be polished with a clean, soft cloth.

Cleaning Vermeil Jewellery
Vermeil jewellery has a solid gold or rose gold plating on the surface. In order to help the gold last a long time, we would recommend not scrubbing the surface of these pieces. Soak them in warm water and gentle dishwashing liquid to clean and kill any bacteria, then pat them dry with a soft cloth, to avoid scratching or rubbing the surface.
