Care
& Maintenance

Take care of your jewellery so you can love it for longer.

Sterling silver

Sterling silver will tarnish over time due to oxygen in the air. The best way to combat this is by wearing your pieces frequently and avoiding getting them wet or coming into contact with perfume/creams. While not being worn, store safely in a box or airtight bag. To clean your sterling silver, use a small amount of silver jewellery cleaner on a soft cloth and gently rub the silver several times. Then, rinse the silver thoroughly in warm water and dry carefully. This will remove the tarnish and dullness, keeping your sterling silver like new.

Yellow, white and rose gold

To keep your gold jewellery looking shiny and fresh, avoid wearing while using cleaning chemicals or anything that might affect the surface of the metal. To clean, use a small amount of jewellery cleaner on a soft cloth or toothbrush and gently rub over the surface. When not wearing, store safely in a pouch or box.

Need a little more than a clean?

We are happy to re-polish and re-finish items on request. Your jewellery will naturally show the wear and patina of your daily life (something that we love here at Behind Bracken) but understand there are occasions where you want it back to its sparkly best! Email us to arrange. Kindly note that there will be a small charge for this service.
