Jewellery Care

By Eileen jewellery are delicate pieces consciously handcrafted with love and a touch of magic. Our jewellery are handcrafted in primarily solid sterling silver and solid gold - with the exceptions of permanent jewellery that includes 14k gold filled; and some of our archival range that includes gold vermeil.

Over time, through exposure to elements like oxygen, humidity, body chemistry, chemicals, sterling silver can develop a natural tarnish. This means that a thin dark layer forms on the surface of your metal. Fun Fact: The best way to keep your jewellery shiny and tarnish free is to wear them!

All jewellery comes in a branded box and/or pouch for you to store your jewellery.

Whilst, you can certainly wear them in water; and also use your standard skincare products, for the longevity of your jewellery we do recommend the following:

• It’s best to remove your jewellery before showering, swimming (, sleeping, exercising washing your hands or applying lotion or perfume.
  
  
• Be careful to avoid tugging your pieces when putting them on or off.
  
  
• When not in use, store your jewellery in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight plastic ziplock bag, box or pouch (like the one we supply).
  
  
• Wash them with a soft brush and warm soapy water; and polish them with polishing cloth to keep them shiny.
  
  
• Avoid harsh chemicals such as cleaning products and alcohol based perfumes. 

If you are local in Adelaide, you can always contact us to arrange for a jewellery clean.
