Jewelry Care Tips

It's back! Our handy guide for fashion jewelry care, cleaning and storage has returned after a long hiatus. Before we moved our shop to our current ecommerce platform (Shopify) in 2023, we always had a page for useful tips, tricks and recommendations on how to care for "costume" fashion jewelry. It was long, and honestly somewhat boring, and badly needed a re-write. So this time we've updated it to make it much easier to read, and included new sections on caring for different types of beads as well. 

In our guide you'll learn:

• How to clean plated base metals and zinc alloy pewter
• How to safely wash and press fabric ribbon chokers (satin, lace and velvet)
• Explanations of different terms, e.g "antiqued oxidized silver" and "sterling plated"
• The best ways to store different types of jewelry
• Answers to common questions about the materials we use

We hope you find it useful. But as always, if you have a specific concern on any of these topics that we don't cover, or that perhaps you want more clarity on, please feel free to contact us. Enjoy!
