Jewellery Care

Jewellery Care Guide

At Nadica, we want your jewellery to shine beautifully for years to come. Our pieces are crafted with natural metals, 14k, 18k, and 24k gold plating, 925 silver, titanium, stainless steel, and gold-plated brass. To help you maintain their luster and quality, here are some essential care tips:

General Care Tips

  1. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
    Keep your jewellery away from harsh chemicals found in cleaning products, perfumes, and lotions. These can tarnish or damage the finish of your pieces.
  2. Store Properly
    Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place. Use a soft pouch or a jewellery box with compartments to prevent scratching and tangling. Avoid storing pieces together to minimize friction.
  3. Remove Before Activities
    Take off your jewellery before engaging in activities that may expose it to sweat, chlorine, or other damaging substances, such as swimming, exercising, or cleaning.

Cleaning Your Jewellery

  1. Regular Cleaning
    Clean your jewellery regularly to maintain its shine. For most pieces, a gentle wash with mild soap and warm water will do the trick. Use a soft toothbrush to reach intricate details.
  2. Rinse Thoroughly
    After cleaning, rinse your jewellery under running water to remove any soap residue, which can attract dirt if left behind.
  3. Dry Carefully
    Pat your jewellery dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. Avoid using heat sources like hairdryers, as they can damage certain materials.

Specific Metal Care

  • Gold-Plated Jewellery
    Gold plating can wear off over time. To prolong its life, avoid wearing it in water and store it separately from other jewellery. Clean it gently with a soft cloth.
  • Gold-Plated Brass
    Similar to other gold-plated items, gold-plated brass requires special care. Avoid exposing it to moisture and chemicals. Clean with a soft, dry cloth and store it in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing.
  • Sterling Silver (925)
    Silver can tarnish due to exposure to air and moisture. Regularly clean it with a silver polishing cloth. If tarnishing occurs, a gentle wash with soap and water followed by thorough drying can restore its shine.
  • Titanium and Stainless Steel
    These metals are highly durable and resistant to tarnishing. Clean them with mild soap and a soft cloth. They require less maintenance than precious metals.

Additional Tips

  • Check for Loose Stones
    If your jewellery includes gemstones, periodically check to ensure they are securely set. If you notice any movement, consult a jeweller for repairs.
  • Skin Sensitivity
    While our jewellery is made with hypoallergenic materials, we recommend checking your skin sensitivity, as reactions can vary. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use.
  • Professional Cleaning
    For intricate pieces or those with significant buildup, consider having your jewellery professionally cleaned once a year to maintain its beauty.
