Jewellery Care Tips

At LJBI, we believe your jewellery should shine for years to come. Whether handcrafted in our incubator or gifted to a loved one, each piece deserves proper care. Follow these simple yet effective tips to maintain the brilliance, structure, and longevity of your jewellery:

• Gently Wipe After Each Wear: After wearing your jewellery, lightly polish it with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove natural oils, dust, and residue that can dull its sparkle.
• Store Pieces with Care: Keep each item in a separate soft pouch or a lined jewellery box. This helps prevent scratching, tangling, and damage — especially for delicate chains and softer gemstones.
• Keep Jewellery Away from Chemicals: Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or applying lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays. Harsh chemicals can discolor metals and damage finishes or stones.
• Avoid Wearing Jewellery During Rigorous Activities: Activities like exercising, gardening, or cleaning can expose your jewellery to impact, pressure, and abrasive surfaces. It’s best to take them off beforehand.
• Clean Gently and Occasionally: Most pieces can be cleaned using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaners unless they are specifically recommended for your jewellery’s materials.
• Get Regular Professional Checks: Have clasps, prongs, and settings inspected periodically by a professional to ensure stones remain secure and fittings stay in good shape.
• Protect Sensitive Gemstones from Sunlight: Some gemstones, such as amethyst and turquoise, are sensitive to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and may fade over time. Store them in a cool, shaded place.
