How to Care for Your Jewellery

Every piece of TJS London jewellery is made of natural gemstones, precious metals, and a lot of love.

Follow these simple care instructions to make sure that your favourite pieces of jewellery always look like new.

  • Store your jewellery in a soft-lined box or pouch and try to keep them separately so that they don’t scratch or tangle.
  • Avoid as much as you can, exposing them to extreme temperatures or chemicals as this can cause tarnishing.
  • It is recommended to keep your sterling silver and gold vermeil jewellery in dark places.

Cleaning & Protection Tips

  • Clean your jewellery carefully with a soft cloth or toothbrush, lukewarm water, and a very mild, chemical-free liquid soap. Avoid using other substances such as polish remover or toothpaste as these contain chemicals that will destroy your jewellery over time.
  • Your jewellery might damage from the effects of chemicals present in perfume, hairspray, make-up, body lotion, and deodorant.
  • Gently dry your jewellery after exposure to water. Chlorine and saltwater can damage precious metals and gemstones by dulling or eroding them.
  • Sterling silver is a precious metal that reacts with oxygen and tarnishes over time. Therefore, in this case, you can slow down tarnishing by cleaning your jewellery regularly.

Special Metals & Gemstone Care

  • Oxidised jewellery: We oxidise some of our jewellery to give it an antique look. This should not be considered as a defect as it’s part of some collections’ design. Avoid cleaning the jewellery aggressively as it will rub off the finish.
  • Gold Vermeil: Gold vermeil is a thick 18k or 14k gold coating over sterling silver. To protect the plating, avoid friction and keep away from swimming pools and hot tubs.
  • Natural Gemstones: Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for porous gemstones like turquoise, emerald, opal, and pearls. Wipe them with a damp microfibre cloth.

Storage Best Practices

Keep your pieces in the provided TJS London pouch or an airtight container with anti-tarnish strips to maintain their radiant shine for years to come.
