How to Care for Your Jewellery

How to Care for Your Jewellery

Samandar's Jewellery pieces are designed to transcend the years. So we’ve put together a complete guide on how to care for your jewellery so that it shines forever.

Beautiful jewellery deserves to last a lifetime. Simple, classic and elegant, your Samandar's pieces are meant to be timeless—not only in style but also in longevity.

Timeless appeal doesn’t mean much without the durability to back it up. We pride ourselves on every little detail when it comes to crafting quality jewellery. That’s why we’ve put a lot of thought into the materials we use and the creation process behind every made-to-order piece.

However, special care and attention are also essential in keeping your pieces in top shape. So we’ve put together a complete guide on how to care for your jewellery so that they continue to shine for years to come.

How to Clean Your Jewellery

If you wear your jewellery often, we recommend that you give it the occasional cleaning. The dust, pollution and dirt that comes with everyday wear can impact the sparkle of your pieces. A little TLC every now and then does wonders in preserving the health and brilliance of your favourite necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings.

Light Wash:

  1. Mix mild dish detergent with warm water in a shallow dish until it’s fully dissolved.
  2. Soak your jewellery piece in the solution for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Use a soft cloth or soft-bristle toothbrush to gently scrub clean. Rinse with clean water to remove any soap residue.
  4. Let it dry on a clean, soft cloth.

Protecting Your Jewellery

It’s also important to avoid exposing your jewellery to any harsh chemicals and abrasives that you may encounter on a regular basis. This includes chlorine, bleach, hairspray, soaps, perfumes, toothpaste and more. Build-up and exposure can dull the shine of gold and diamond over time.

We also recommend removing your jewellery pieces before certain activities, such as exercising, swimming, showering, sleeping, gardening and washing your hands. It’s also a good idea to apply any creams, perfumes and hair products before you wear your jewellery. Any necklaces, earrings, bracelets or rings should be the last items you put on.

Another tip to remember is to avoid impact against hard surfaces. Our 14K Solid Gold jewellery provides a great balance between strength, value and purity—but you still want to minimize any collision. Even diamonds, which are one of the hardest natural substances on earth, should be handled with care. Although uncommon, diamonds can chip if hit with enough force at just the right angle.

How to Store Your Jewellery

Between wearings, we recommend that you place your jewellery in proper storage. Store your favourite pieces in a safe, memorable and dry place when not worn to protect them from the elements of daily exposure. The pouch and jewellery box provided with your purchase are a great place to shelter your pieces when you’re not using them.

It’s best to store your jewellery separately to keep them from scratching or tangling. Try to keep your pieces at room temperature and away from intense heat.

Regularly Examine Your Jewellery

It pays to occasionally check your jewellery for any loose prongs or stones, both big and small. If you feel a stone might be loose, contact a member of our customer care team and send it to us for a professional examination and repairs. We offer a free stone replacement within 6 months of purchase if there’s no damage done to the jewellery piece itself.

In addition to making sure everything is safe and secure, you can also look into re-polishing and re-plating every few years. Be sure to have all prongs checked and stones tightened after each polishing.

Jewellery to Last a Lifetime

Simple, classic and elegant jewellery can be worn for decades for their timeless appeal. Your Samandar's pieces will be with you through thick and thin—each holding a lifetime’s worth of love, dreams, possibility and memories. This all begins with special care and attention, so your favourite pieces can continue to shine for years to come.
