Jewellery Care

Many factors can influence the wear and tear of jewellery. Here are some important tips to help you keep your jewellery looking its best so that you can enjoy wearing it for many years. 

• Always store your jewellery pieces individually in your Rosie Kent box, so that they don’t rub together, scratch or tangle. 
• Take care to avoid humidity or heat exposure, this will cause tarnishing. Avoid storing your jewellery in the bathroom or near a radiator. Your gold plated & silver jewellery could be stored in a small sealed plastic bag when not worn, this will keep out air which causes oxidisation.
• Silver naturally tarnishes with exposure to air, we would recommend you use a silver polishing cloth to gently wipe the surface of your jewellery frequently. The same goes for gold plated pieces, they will shine up a treat when gently rubbed with a gold polishing cloth, removing any tarnish or dirt.
• We recommend removing rings when washing your hands or moisturising and in particular when doing the washing up - washing up liquid is one of the only substances that can actually wear down diamonds over time so that they lose their lustre. Additionally, it is always advisable to avoid wearing jewellery when doing manual labour (such as gardening or home DIY), cleaning, doing exercise or playing sports.
• Apply perfume, body lotion or creams and let dry before you put on your jewellery.
• We recommend removing your gold plated jewellery in the shower, bath and swimming pool.
