How Do I Care For My Skye Pieces?
Caring Guidelines For Your Skye Pieces
At Skye Jewellery, we craft timeless pieces using high-quality materials built to last. We combine the strength and durability of stainless steel with the luxurious shine of triple 18k gold plating. This unique blend ensures your jewellery remains a cherished companion for years to come.
Long-Lasting Beauty with Minimal Upkeep
While all jewellery naturally discolours slightly over time, Skye pieces are designed to resist tarnishing for extended wear. However, certain chemicals like those found in shampoos and perfumes can slightly dull the gold plating's brilliance.
Here's how to maintain your Skye Jewellery's dazzling shine with minimal effort:
- Simple Cleaning: For routine care, gently buff your jewellery with a soft polishing cloth to restore its luster.
Smart Wearing: To help preserve the vibrancy of the gold plating, you can briefly remove your jewellery when showering, swimming, or applying lotions and fragrances.
Caring for Sterling Silver & Gold-Plated Sterling Silver (925)
Our sterling silver (925) and 18k gold-plated sterling silver pieces are crafted with the same dedication to quality, but they do require a little extra care to keep them looking their best:
- Avoid Prolonged Moisture: Sterling silver can naturally tarnish when exposed to water or humidity for long periods. Store your pieces in a dry, cool place, ideally in a jewellery pouch or box.
- Gentle Cleaning: If tarnish appears, clean with a specialised silver polishing cloth to restore brightness. For gold-plated silver, stick to a soft cloth only — avoid silver dips or harsh cleaners as these may wear away the plating.
- Last On, First Off: Put your silver jewellery on after applying perfume, hairspray, or lotion, and remove it before swimming or showering to help maintain both the silver and the gold plating’s brilliance.
With these effortless steps, your Skye Jewellery will continue to radiate elegance for all your cherished moments
