Caring For and Wearing Your Jewellery

• To help protect the durability and high-quality of your jewellery, make sure to remove your jewellery when you shower, bathe or engage in heavy exercise, particularly when swimming in the sea or a chlorinated swimming pool.
• All of our gemstones are natural and therefore can be vulnerable to absorbing dirt and to chipping. Settings may also become loose over-time.
• Avoid spraying perfume, applying creams or any other liquids directly onto your jewellery.
• Keep your jewellery away from extreme temperatures, humidity or sunlight.
• Avoid wearing your jewellery when using bleach, cleaning products and other chemicals.

How to Store Your Jewellery

• We highly recommend that you store your jewellery in the original Monica Vinader packaging provided or another suitably lined box or soft pouch and place a small packet of desiccant crystals in the packaging if you live in a humid climate.
• Ideally store your pieces of jewellery separately, so that they don't rub together or become tangled.

Cleaning Precious Metals

• To keep your jewellery looking radiant and to remove the build-up of dirt and premature tarnish we recommend using our own Monica Vinader polishing cloth (available on request). Rub the piece in one direction rather than circular motions.
• A Silver cleaner can be used to clean Sterling Silver pieces but not 18ct Rose or Yellow Gold Vermeil.
• Do not use tissue paper or paper towels to clean metal as they can cause scratching.
• You can use the same Monica Vinader polishing cloth (available on request) to look after your 14k Gold pieces. Gold is a much harder metal than Silver and therefore more durable.

Cleaning Gemstones

• Since many natural gemstones can be quite delicate, hot water, harsh chemicals and cleaners should be avoided at all times.
• Clean your gemstones with a clean, soft, damp cloth after wearing.
• Very porous stones such as Turquoise, Howlite and Emerald should be cleaned using an untreated, dry, soft cloth only.
• Do not use tissue paper or paper towels to clean gemstones as they can cause scratching.

Cleaning Corded Bracelets

• The best way to clean the thread on your corded friendship bracelets is to occasionally wash them with a soft sponge and mild soap in lukewarm water.

How to Prevent Tarnishing

• All of our Sterling Silver products are protected with an anti-tarnish solution to help prevent tarnish but this may eventually wear with time.
• Silver tarnishes rapidly when exposed to certain substances in our everyday lives so we recommend caring for, wearing and storing your jewellery as mentioned above.

Nickel

Nickel is a trace metal which can be found in any precious metals such as silver or gold, it is also classified as an allergen.

• We do not add Nickel to Monica Vinader jewellery, however trace amounts can be found in some of the metals used in our pieces.
• We have a comprehensive programme to test for all trace metals which are potentially harmful. This is conducted by an independent laboratory to ensure they are below the legal standard, however, a very small number of people who are hypersensitive may suffer a reaction. Please inform our Customer Care team if this affects you.
