Caring for your jewellery
Your jewellery is designed to be worn, loved and treasured for many years.
From everyday care and professional cleaning to resizing, repairs and ongoing advice, I am here to help you look after your piece long after it leaves the studio.
Whether I have created something especially for you or you have chosen a piece from the Carla Maxine collection, you are always welcome to get in touch with questions about how to care for it.
JEWELLERY CARE
Fine jewellery is made to be enjoyed, but even the strongest metals and gemstones benefit from a little care. To help protect your jewellery:
Remove jewellery before swimming, exercising, gardening or cleaning.
Avoid contact with chlorine, chemicals, perfumes and beauty products.
Take rings off before lifting heavy objects or placing pressure on the setting.
Store pieces separately, taking extra care with delicate chains and softer gemstones.
Cleaning your jewellery at home
For many gold and diamond pieces, gentle cleaning at home can help restore their sparkle.
Use warm water, a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid and a very soft toothbrush. Gently clean around the setting, rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, toothpaste, hard brushes and chemical jewellery dips unless they have been specifically recommended for your piece.
Some gemstones require more specialised care. Pearls, opals, emeralds, tourmalines and other softer or treated stones should not be cleaned using the same methods as diamonds and sapphires.
Please contact me if you are unsure about the safest way to clean your jewellery.
