CARE GUIDE
THE ESSENTIAL
Your fine jewellery is both physically and emotionally precious, therefore requires the appropriate love and consideration in order to preserve its beauty and longevity.
GENERAL CARE
For all Naomi Langford Jewellery, we recommend avoiding exposure to fragrance, soap, chemicals or cosmetics, as these can react adversely causing precious gemstones and metals to tarnish and/or erode. It is best to wait until fragrances and cosmetics have dried completely before putting on jewellery.
It is important not to overexpose your precious jewellery to water, particularly chlorinated and salty or to high temperatures such as prolonged sun exposure or sauna use. We advise against swimming, showering and bathing whilst wearing your pieces. We also recommend that you do not wear your jewellery when performing certain activities such as exercise, gardening or cleaning to prevent it from being knocked or from coming into contact with harmful substances.
Nº1
STORAGE
We recommend that all jewellery is stored in a clean, dry place away from direct sun exposure and other atmospheric elements. We do not recommend storing jewellery next to radiators, windowsills or in rooms with excess condensation, such as bathrooms or wet rooms. Damp and hot conditions can cause precious metals to discolour, tarnish and erode as well as damage gemstones.
Diamonds and Moissanite are the hardest of all minerals, which means they can scratch other softer materials. We suggest all jewellery creations be stored separately to avoid scratching or damage to other pieces of your jewellery collection.
Nº2
CLEANING
We strongly advise all precious gemstone creations be professionally cleaned by a local jeweller once or twice a year depending on the frequency of its wear.
Between professional cleaning, we suggest using a soft brush (such as a toothbrush) with a small amount of neutral ph soap to remove any dirt. Gently rinse and pat dry with a cotton cloth. Repeat this process every 2-3 weeks depending on the frequency of wear.
Nº3
SPECIAL CARE
We highly recommend checking stones have not come lose in their settings before cleaning.
For pearl jewellery, we would advise against soaking in water. Instead wipe pearls with a dry or damp cloth.
