Caring for precious metals

We hope you’re loving your new Keepsake. Each piece has been carefully chosen for its quality, cuteness and sentiment, and we want you to enjoy it for years to come. Follow our care tips below.

Silver Jewellery

Silver will naturally develop a patina over time — and we think a little patina can be quite cute.

To care for your silver:

• Store in your Keepsake box or a soft-lined pouch, separate from other jewellery to help prevent scratching.
• Avoid wearing while showering, swimming or exercising.
• Keep away from harsh chemicals and cleaning products.
• If your silver needs a little refresh, gently polish with a jewellery polishing cloth. For a deeper clean, your local jeweller can give it a professional clean.

Gold-Plated Jewellery

Think of gold-plated jewellery as your Sunday best — beautiful for special occasions rather than everyday wear.

Our gold-plated pieces have either a silver or brass base and are finished with 9kt yellow gold. The plating will naturally change over time, but a little extra care will help keep it looking lovely.

To care for your gold plating:

• Take your jewellery off before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
• Keep away from water, harsh chemicals and cleaning products.
• Store in your Keepsake box or a soft-lined pouch, separate from other jewellery.
• For general cleaning, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• If your piece develops patina, you can gently wipe it with a jewellery cloth, but avoid regular polishing as this can gradually wear away the gold plating. For a deeper clean, we recommend visiting your local jeweller.

A little reminder: Please supervise young children when wearing jewellery, as small parts may pose a choking hazard.
