What is Gold-Filled Jewellery?
Gold-filled jewellery is a high-quality alternative to solid gold, offering durability, beauty, and affordability. It consists of a thick layer of gold permanently bonded to a base metal (usually brass) using heat and pressure.
Why Choose Gold-Filled?
✔ Tarnish-resistant – Unlike gold plating, it won’t easily wear off.
✔ Hypoallergenic – Suitable for sensitive skin.
✔ Long-lasting – With proper care, it can last years or even decades.
How to Care for Your Gold-Filled Jewellery
To keep your jewellery looking its best:
Do’s
✔ Waterproof - Gold-filled jewellery can be worn in the shower.
✔ Store properly – Keep in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not wearing.
✔ Clean gently – Use a soft cloth or mild soap and water to remove dirt or oils.
✔ Put it on last – Apply lotions, perfumes, and sprays before wearing your jewellery.
Don’ts
✖ Avoid harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, chlorine, cleaning agents).
✖ Don’t wear it while swimming in pools or hot tubs.
✖ Avoid abrasive cloths or brushes that can scratch the gold layer.
How to Clean Gold-Filled Jewellery

What is Sterling Silver?
Sterling silver is a precious metal composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper) to enhance durability. It has a beautiful, bright shine and is a popular choice for fine jewellery.
Why Choose Sterling Silver?
✔ Timeless & Elegant – A classic metal with a luxurious shine.
✔ Hypoallergenic – Great for sensitive skin.
✔ Durable – Stronger than pure silver, making it perfect for everyday wear.
Sterling silver naturally reacts with air and moisture, which can lead to tarnishing over time. Follow these simple care tips to keep your jewellery looking brand new.
Do’s
✔ Wear it often – Regular wear helps prevent tarnishing.
✔ Store properly – Keep in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not in use.
✔ Clean gently – Use a soft jewellery cloth to polish and restore shine.
✔ Keep it dry – Remove before swimming, showering, or exercising.
Don’ts
✖ Avoid harsh chemicals (perfumes, lotions, cleaning agents).
✖ Don’t store in humid places like bathrooms.
✖ Avoid contact with chlorine, salt water, and household cleaners.
How to Clean Sterling Silver Jewellery
Polish regularly – Use a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish.
Soap & water method – Mix mild soap with warm water, soak for a few minutes, and gently rub with a soft cloth.
Baking soda & water paste – For deep cleaning, create a paste with baking soda and water, rub gently, rinse, and dry.
Professional cleaning – For heavily tarnished pieces, consider a professional jewellery cleaner.
