We create high-quality, handcrafted jewellery that’s designed to be worn and loved for years to come. To ensure your pieces maintain their beauty and durability, it’s important to follow these care guidelines. Proper care will help preserve the lustre and appearance of your jewellery, allowing you to enjoy it for longer.
1. General Care Tips
- Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Keep your jewellery away from harsh chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, lotions, and cleaning products, as these can tarnish or damage the metals and stones.
- Remove Before Activities: Take off your jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising, or doing household chores. Exposure to water, sweat, and abrasives can dull the appearance of your pieces over time.
- Store Properly: When not in use, store your jewellery in the Fernovia Design gift box provided. Keeping pieces separate will prevent them from tangling or scratching against each other.
2. Caring for Gold-Plated Jewellery
Our gold-plated jewellery is crafted to be both elegant and durable, but it does require some extra care:
- Avoid Excess Moisture: Exposure to water, especially saltwater or chlorinated pools, can wear down the gold plating.
- Gentle Cleaning: Clean your gold-plated jewellery using a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasive materials. A microfibre cloth is perfect for restoring shine without causing damage.
3. Caring for Natural Pearls
Pearls are delicate and should be handled with care to maintain their natural lustre.
- Wear with Care: Pearls can be damaged by chemicals, so it's best to apply perfume, makeup, and hairspray before putting on your pearl jewellery.
- Wipe After Use: After wearing, gently wipe your pearls with a soft cloth to remove any oils or residues from your skin. This will help maintain their sheen.
- Store Separately: Keep your pearls in a soft cloth bag or lined jewellery box. Storing pearls in a dry, cool place helps prevent them from drying out or becoming brittle.
4. Polishing Your Jewellery
To maintain the brilliance of your jewellery, we recommend polishing your pieces regularly:
- Use a Soft Cloth: Buff your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to restore its shine. Avoid polishing cloths that contain harsh chemicals or abrasives, as these can strip away the finish or scratch the surface.
- Professional Cleaning: For a deeper clean, take your jewellery to a professional jeweller who can safely clean and inspect it.
5. Long-Term Care
- Check for Wear: Regularly inspect your jewellery, especially clasps, links, and earring backs, to ensure everything is secure. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, we recommend visiting a jeweller for repair.
- Safe Storage: For longer periods of storage, consider using a jewellery box with individual compartments to avoid tangling or scratching. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity, which can affect both metals and stones.
6. Our Commitment to Quality
We take great pride in the craftsmanship and quality of every piece we create. Following these care instructions will help ensure that your Fernovia Design jewellery remains as beautiful as the day you first wore it.
