Jewellery can hold both sentimental and monetary value, and keeping it clean and sparkling is essential to maintain its beauty. Regular cleaning can help preserve your jewellery for years to come. In this blog post, we'll share some top jewellery cleaning tips and products that will help keep your jewellery looking like new, including our own jewellery travel boxes, jewellery cleaning cloth, and jewellery cleaning kit.

Whatever it is that you fancy, every jewellery piece you own needs gentle pampering to stay in pristine condition.

SJJ care hint: Make jewellery cleaning a habit. Don’t wait for dirt or oil residue to build up.

The simplest daily routine? Gently wipe your jewellery with a dedicated jewellery-polishing cloth.

A gentle cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush are recommended for most types of jewellery. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch or damage the surface.

A soft-bristled toothbrush or a specialised jewellery brush is an effective tool to remove dirt and grime from your jewellery. Be gentle while brushing to avoid any scratches on the surface.

As we continue to reach out for hand sanitisers, remember to take off rings and bracelets before using them; alcohol can darken sterling silver. Use perfumes and skin productsbefore you wear jewellery to minimise contact with jewellery.

Sprays, chemicals and household cleaning products seriously diminish jewellery life.

The good news is, the more you wear silver, the longer its shine will stay. Having said that, you do need to keep it away from moisture; never wear it in a sauna, jacuzzi, pool or at the beach, or leave in the bathroom.

Another pro tip: Take silver jewellery off while cleaning or cooking in the kitchen, at the gym, or while pottering around in the garden soil.

As with all things delicate and beautiful, heat, humidity and strong sunlight are its nemeses!

Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh chemicals and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Regularly polish your jewellery with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its shine and lustre. By following these simple tips, you can keep your sterling silver jewellery looking beautiful for years to come.

Let’s guide you to keep your precious gold-plated rings and bracelets safe from damage or scratches, shining as good as new.

To clean 18k gold-plated jewellery, start by wiping it gently with a soft cloth to remove any surface dirt or dust. You can then prepare a cleaning solution by mixing a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water. Dip the jewellery into the solution for a few seconds, then gently scrub it with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse the jewellery thoroughly under running water and dry it with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the gold plating. Additionally, store your gold-plated jewellery in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent tarnishing and damage.

To clean jewellery with zirconia, start by wiping the stones gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch or damage the stones. If the zirconia is particularly dirty, you can mix a small amount of mild soap with water and gently clean the stones using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse the jewellery thoroughly and dry it with a soft cloth. Store your zirconia jewellery separately from other pieces to avoid scratches and damage.

It's also important to avoid exposing the stones to extreme temperatures or sudden changes in temperature, as this can cause cracking or damage.
