How to Care for Your Ojewellery

Well-loved jewellery deserves a little gentle attention. With a few simple habits, your pieces will keep their soft glow for years, ready to be worn, gifted and passed on.

Your polish cloth is included

Every piece from Ojewellery arrives with its own jewellery polish cloth, so you can look after it from the very first wear. Use it for a quick buff after wearing to lift away fingerprints and restore natural shine.

Everyday wear

  • Put your jewellery on last, after perfume, hairspray and moisturiser
  • Take it off before swimming, bathing, exercising or cleaning
  • Avoid contact with chlorine, bleach and household chemicals

Cleaning your jewellery

  1. Wipe gently with your polish cloth after each wear
  2. For deeper cleaning, use warm water with a drop of mild soap and a soft cloth
  3. Rinse briefly, then pat completely dry
  4. Finish with the polish cloth

Caring for gemstones

Gemstones are natural and vary in hardness. Clean them with a soft, damp cloth, and avoid harsh polishes, prolonged soaking and sudden temperature changes. You can read more about the stones we use on our natural gemstones page.

Storing your pieces

Keep each piece separate in its gift box or a soft pouch, somewhere dry and away from direct sunlight. Storing pieces apart prevents scratches and tangling, and slows natural tarnish.

A note on tarnish

Sterling silver naturally darkens over time. It's a normal reaction to air and skin, not a fault. Regular wear and a quick polish keep it bright.
