To keep your jewellery looking its best, avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and cleaning products.
Store your piece in its box or pouch when not being worn, and gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain its shine.
Gold vermeil and sterling silver are delicate precious metal finishes, so a little extra care will help keep your jewellery beautiful for longer.
Matching pieces to style, layer and gift.
