Good advice for keeping your jewellery beautiful
Take off your jewellery before going to sleep, shower and exercise. Thereby you will avoid your jewellery being exposed to a lot of wear, moisture, sweat and impacts.
Make sure your jewellery does not come into contact with beauty products, fragrances and cleaning products. Especially pearls and some gemstones can be sensitive to the oils and chemicals, these products contain.
Handle your gemstones with caution. Avoid dropping them on a hard floor or exposing them to hard bumps, as they can take damage or break.
Contact one of our stores if your ring is out of shape - we can likely help you get it back in shape. Ring shanks can take shape from your finger when worn – the more delicate the ring shank, the easier it can change its shape.
Contact one of our stores if your bracelet is broken or out of shape - we can likely help you get it back in shape. Armrings can take shape from your wrist when worn and bracelets can break due to daily wear and tear.
Be aware of your chain getting stuck in your clothes, hair or buttons. A sudden pull can cause them to break. Regardless of their quality, the links are delicate and can break when pulled.
Regularly check your gemstone settings and chain locks. If your gemstone or lock feels loose, please contact one of our stores to get an assessment.
Store your jewellery in your Carré jewellery box or tray. The jewellery box holds the jewellery protected and will keep it beautiful for longer.
