Caring For Your Jewellery

 

Thank you for purchasing your beautifully handmade piece from Wilson Jewellery. Our chains & components are either Gold Plated over Sterling Silver, 18ct Gold Filled, 9ct Gold or 925 Silver.

​

Daily wear will expose your jewellery to dust, polution, oxygen, changing climates, which will over time dull/scratch/oxidise the surface of semi precious metals so take care to protect your jewellery.  Always store in an airtight container, small plastic bag or the soft pouches provided/fabric lined jewellery boxes.  Avoid touching with other jewellery to prevent denting/scratching.

​

Clean jewellery after each wear by wiping with a soft lint free cloth to remove any built up residue & to maintain shine for longer.

​

If you find your chains would benefit from a deeper clean, take a tiny amount of gentle soap/washing up liquid on a damp super soft toothbrush & run along the length of the chain. Rinse under water to ensure to remove any of the soap and dry throughly with a gentle touch.  Buff again with the lint free cloth.

​​

Your jewellery will be directly compromised when coming in to contact with water, perfume, lotions, suncreams, shampoo, chlorine, salt water so avoid contact with these to prevent damage. High ph acid levels in skin & certain medications will affect plating. 

 

Please remove plated & gold filled jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising, sleeping. Remove rings when washing hands and make sure any creams have been absorbed thoroughly before wearing rings. 

 

9ct Gold & Silver jewellery is much more durable & can be worn whilst swimming, exercising etc but still will require to be looked after & cleaned to remove any built up residues.

 

Plating & Gold Filled will fade over time & longevity depends on how the jewellery is cared for.

​

Do not use any harse chemicals, cloths or brushes to scrub jewellery as it will affect the delicate surfaces. We do not recommend that you jewellery cloths that have a chemical built into the cloth.

​​

Porous gemstones and beads should not be immersed in water for long periods of time as it will lighten or affect colours.  We do not recommend that you wear our beads in the sea but if you have found that you have, ensure to rinse thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt and then dry accordingly.  Salt will damage thread of the beads. 

​

Do not store any jewellery in direct sunlight.

​

Unique antique pieces are less robust and should be treated as fragile. 

​

Any repairs are viewed on a case by case basis - please view T&Cs.
