Care for Ashes Jewellery

Your ashes jewellery holds deep emotional value, and with proper care, it can remain a beautiful and lasting tribute for years to come. Follow these simple guidelines to protect and preserve your piece:

1. Avoid Water & Harsh Chemicals

Remove your jewellery before bathing, swimming, or using cleaning products. Moisture and chemicals can damage both the metal and any engraved or sealed components.

2. Store Safely

When not wearing your jewellery, store it in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to avoid scratches and tarnishing. Keep it away from direct sunlight and humidity.

3. Clean Gently

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish your jewellery. Avoid abrasive materials or strong cleaners. For silver pieces, an anti-tarnish cloth is ideal.

4. Handle with Care

Ashes jewellery often contains a discreet chamber sealed with great care. Avoid dropping or exposing it to strong impact, as it may compromise the seal or structure.

5. Avoid Perfumes & Lotions

Apply perfumes, lotions, or sprays before putting on your jewellery. Chemicals in these products can affect the finish and adhesive integrity of sealed compartments.

6. Check the Seal (If Applicable)

If your piece includes a self-sealing chamber, we recommend having it checked periodically by a jeweller to ensure it remains secure, especially if worn daily.

7. Care Tip for Gold-Plated Ashes Jewellery

Gold plating is delicate and can wear over time. To preserve its finish, avoid contact with water, sweat, perfumes, and lotions, and always remove your jewellery before bathing, exercising, or cleaning. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and keep the surface shining.

8. Care Tip for Sterling Silver Ashes Jewellery

Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time, especially when exposed to air, moisture, or chemicals. To maintain its shine, store your piece in an airtight pouch or box when not in use, and clean regularly with a soft anti-tarnish cloth. Avoid wearing it while swimming, bathing, or using household cleaners to protect both the silver and the ashes compartment.

9. Care Tip for Solid Gold Ashes Jewellery

Solid gold is durable and resistant to tarnish, but it can still scratch or dull over time. To keep it looking its best, store it separately in a soft pouch or jewellery box, and clean it gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals, and take care not to damage the sealed ashes compartment.
