Jewellery Care Instructions

At Baivina Jewellery, we cherish the beauty and craftsmanship of our pieces. To ensure your jewellery remains in exquisite condition, please follow these care instructions:

Daily Wear: Rings are often exposed to frequent contact, so be mindful when wearing them during activities. Avoid hitting hard surfaces, and remove your rings before tasks like washing dishes or gardening.
Avoid Damage: Remove your rings before engaging in strenuous activities, especially those involving water, chemicals, or heat. Protect 9 karat gold rings from chlorine to prevent weakening of the metal.
Skin Protection: Keep rings away from lotions, oils, and perfumes to maintain their shine and avoid clogging the intricate settings.
Proper Storage: Store rings in their original boxes or in a soft jewellery pouch to prevent scratching or damage, especially if they have precious stones or delicate settings.
Cleaning & Maintenance: Regularly clean your rings using warm soapy water and a soft brush. Visit one of our stores for a complimentary cleaning and to check for any setting or stone issues.
Repair: If you notice signs of wear, such as loose settings, lodge a repair request for an inspection or fix through our portal.

Mindful Wear: Bracelets and chains can easily get caught on objects or clothing. To avoid damage, ensure you take them off when engaging in activities where they may snag or be stretched.
Protection from Chemicals: 9 karat gold jewellery, in particular, can weaken when exposed to chlorine. Always remove bracelets and chains before swimming or using cleaning products.
Contact with Skin: Minimise exposure to body oils, lotions, and fragrances to prevent tarnishing or the buildup of residue in the links or clasps.
Storing with Care: Keep your bracelets and chains untangled by storing them separately in their original packaging or a dedicated jewellery organiser. This will help prevent stretching or damage to delicate links.
Cleaning Chains: To maintain shine, soak your chain in warm soapy water and gently clean with a soft cloth. For more thorough cleaning, visit us or use an ultrasonic cleaner.
Stretching Prevention: Check for signs of stretching by measuring the length against your original purchase details. If any signs of stretching are found, repair your jewellery promptly to avoid breakage.

Daily Wear: Avoid wearing necklaces while performing activities where they may snag or pull. Always remove necklaces before sleep to avoid tangling or damage to the chain and clasp.
Preventing Damage: Remove necklaces when swimming, particularly in pools with chlorine, as it can damage the metal, especially 9 karat gold. Also avoid wearing necklaces during heavy exercise.
Skin Safety: To prevent tarnishing, reduce contact with perfumes, oils, and moisturisers, which can build up in the links or settings.
Storage Tips: Store your necklaces flat or hanging individually to prevent tangling or kinks. Use the original packaging or a soft jewellery bag to protect the metal and stones from scratches.
Cleaning & Care: Clean your necklace by soaking it in warm soapy water and gently brushing it with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Consider professional cleanings to ensure the chain and clasp remain intact.
Stretching & Repairs: Necklaces may stretch over time, especially if caught frequently. Regularly inspect them for damage, and if any is found, lodge a repair request for a full assessment and repair.

Diamonds: While durable, diamonds can chip or become loose in weakened settings. Store diamond jewellery in its original packaging and clean with a lint-free cloth or warm soapy water. Periodically have your diamonds checked for setting integrity.
Opals & Coloured Gemstones: These stones can have delicate prongs that are susceptible to damage from everyday wear. Use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent for cleaning, and avoid bleach and ultrasonic cleaners.
Pearls: Pearls are particularly sensitive to chemicals found in beauty products. Avoid direct contact with lotions or perfumes, and gently wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth.
Emeralds: Though durable, emeralds have natural inclusions that can make them prone to chipping. Remove emerald jewellery before strenuous activities, and clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
