Caring for your jewellery

Store your jewellery along with its inserts in its original packaging to increase re-sale value.

Jazz up your jewellery by soaking your silver and gold in a glass of vodka for a few hours.

Never wash rhinestones with water, as this tarnishes the foil background and discolours the stone. Instead, use a cotton bud or soft bristle brush and glass cleaner to dab away dirt. Rub dry with a soft cloth.

Pop small, loose jewellery items in jewellery boxes.

There is nothing worse than trying to untangle thin chains. Dust a bit of talcum powder over it and tease those tangles out.

Avoid winding-up watches too much as this can damage delicate mechanisms.
