How to take care of your jewellery

Love your jewellery!!
Elysian jewellery are handmade pieces and should be treated with care & love. Each item is a small piece of handcrafted art! It has been created by talented and skillful designers for your pleasure with the intention to look beautiful in it. For the above reasons we want to make sure that any Elysian jewellery purchased will last for years, so your pieces should be properly cleaned, repaired and stored.

Below are some tips to keep your Collection safe and sparkly:

Depending on how you treat your jewellery, determines whether their life can last years or months.

• Avoid factors that can influence the condition of your jewellery and are able to produce damage or tarnishing. Such factors are perfumes, oils, cosmetics and other chemical products.
• Avoid sweat, which causes tarnishing, by removing jewellery when exercising or any other demanding physical work.
• Always remove your jewellery before applying lotions, scent, hairsprays and other chemicals.
• Avoid saving your jewels at places with extreme humidity or heat because this may cause tarnishing. Chemicals as chlorine in swimming pools and thermal pools will accelerate tarnishing and permanently damage or discolour gold vermeil jewels and leave them looking dull.
• Semi-precious stones may vary because there are natural products and this feature gives them a distinctive character and charm which make them unique. Be extra careful with precious stones. Since many gemstones are delicate , harsh chemicals, hot water and fire should be avoided. We recommend cleaning your precious stones with a soft cloth.
• Very porous stones such as turquoise and emerald should be cleaned only with a soft, dry cloth and should not be immersed in water for too long. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels to clean gemstones as they can cause scratching. Particular care should be taken in your emeralds.

Storing your jewellery properly is also important. Store your jewellery separate from each other in order to minimize tanginge and scratching. Before storing a piece make sure to remove any excess dirt or oil by wiping it gently with a soft cloth. All of our Elysian creations come in their own beautiful suede dust bag and we highly recommend storing your pieces in the bag they are packaged in order to keep them safe and avoid daily exposure to air and sunlight which can cause oxidization. Store your jewels in a dark, cool and dry place.
