Recommendations for jewellery care

It is essential to store all jewellery in appropriate conditions to prevent any possibility of damage.

Here are 5 tips on how to properly care for your jewellery:

  1. If possible, each piece of jewellery should be stored separately. Why do experts say this? Jewellery stored together can interfere with each other, which can lead to scratches, they can get tangled, and jewellery with flaws loses its beauty and value over time.
  2. As an addition to the first point, it is important to divide the jewellery into smaller groups of the same kind. Gold jewellery should be stored separately from silver or other metals. In addition, you can store them according to their value.
  3. Do not store jewellery in random places. A special jewellery box is recommended to prevent damage. This way, they are protected from dust and moisture.
  4. Jewellery should not be worn during household activities as it can be damaged by the chemicals used. Jewellery should also not be worn during sports activities and at the salt water/thermal pool.
  5. Clean jewellery only with special solutions and do not use abrasive solutions.

If you need help, turn to specialists who can help you with professional advice and solutions for maintaining your jewellery.

How to care for amber gifts?

The recommendations below apply to both processed and raw (unpolished) amber jewellery, as well as amber jewellery in precious metal mountings:

  1. Avoid direct sunlight as products containing amber are sensitive to strong sunlight.
  2. Amber should be kept away from contact with other jewellery and accessories, keeping amber jewellery separately in bags or boxes is recommended.
  3. Amber is a soft material and can easily break or crack if pressure is exerted on it, so try not to wear amber jewellery if there is this risk.
  4. Using perfume directly on amber jewellery can affect the lustre of amber, as amber is an organic material.
  5. Avoid wearing amber jewellery when doing household activities as it can be damaged by the chemicals used.
  6. Do not attempt to clean amber jewellery using steam or hot water.
  7. To clean, use a soft, clean cloth and dampen gently with warm water.
  8. After cleaning, wipe the products with a dry cloth to remove traces of water.
  9. If you want to clean an old piece of raw amber and want to restore its shine, you can use olive oil in a very small amount, one drop is enough. Then wipe with a dry cloth.
  10. To clean your amber and silver jewellery, you should use a special silver cleaning cloth. Silver oxidation (blackening) occurs naturally as a result of silver reacting with oxygen and is nothing to worry about.

For any information on caring for your jewellery, you should trust the specialists, as jewellery containing stones of an organic nature, such as amber, is more sensitive and requires your attention.
