JEWELLERY CARE GUIDE
Stainless steel
Your Worry-Free Option
Legends reimagined for modern life mean jewellery that keeps up with your lifestyle. Our stainless steel pieces are exactly that.
The best part? There's almost nothing to remember:
-
Shower-safe
-
Gym-proof
-
Sleep in it if you forget
-
It's safe for sensitive skin
Just wipe it with a soft cloth occasionally to keep it looking fresh. That's it. Really.
Pro tip: A microfibre cloth (like the one for your glasses) works perfectly.

Sterling silver
Beautiful with just a little love
Why TikTok hacks aren't for our sterling silver?
We've all seen them – the viral videos where you boil your jewellery with baking soda and aluminium foil balls. It's oddly satisfying to watch, but these hacks might work on plain silver, not on our pieces.
Our sterling silver jewellery features:
-
Rhodium or gold plating for extra shine
-
Precious stones
-
Enamel details
-
Intentional blackened accents
Those DIY hacks can strip plating, scratch stones, or wash away the beautiful contrast we've designed into each piece. The good news? Taking care of your jewellery is easier than those viral "hacks."
What not to do with sterling silver?
Whether it's gold-plated, rhodium-plated, or features blackened details – these simple rules keep your jewellery beautiful
01. Water & temperature
Skip the hot water extremes. Never boil your jewellery (yes, people do this!). Avoid ultrasonic cleaners. For rings with stones or enamel – don't fully submerge.
02. Chemicals
No vinegar, lemon juice, or hydrogen peroxide. Skip alcohol-based products. Avoid harsh cleaners
03. Physical Cleaning
No scrubbing with hard brushes. Skip abrasive substances (baking soda, toothpaste). Use only soft cloths. Be gentle – no aggressive rubbing
Jewellery care that actually works
These methods work for all our sterling silver pieces. Choose what fits your routine.
01. Dry cleaning. The easiest method.
Simply wipe your jewellery with a soft cloth (microfibre or flannel works great). No pressure, just gentle wiping. Done.
02. Glycerine cleaning
Pure glycerin (99%) is safe for all plating types and super effective.
How to use:
Put 2-3 drops of glycerin on a cotton pad
Gently wipe the metal parts (skip stones, enamel, and blackened areas)
Let it sit for 5 minutes
Rinse with warm water
Pat dry with a soft cloth
For pieces with:
Gemstones – work around them
Enamel – avoid the enamelled surface
Blackening – dab lightly, don't rub
Occasional care – for more visible tarnish
Use these methods monthly or when regular cleaning isn't quite enough.
01. Jewellery Polishing Cloths
The easiest deep-clean option. These pre-treated cloths are made specifically for jewellery.
What to look for:
Cloths marked "for gold and silver" or "for yellow and white gold"
Never use cloths meant only for yellow gold on rhodium plating
Don't use these on enamel or blackened areas
Remember:
Don't wash these cloths
Only use cloths specifically labelled for jewellery
Check the package to confirm it's right for your metal

The Bottom Line
For stainless steel: Wipe occasionally. That's it.
For sterling silver: A little care goes a long way. Most of the time, a gentle wipe is all you need. For deeper cleaning, stick to jewellery-specific products.
