Care & Maintenance
Protecting Your Jewellery
Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals:
Jewellery should be the last thing you put on when getting ready and the first thing you take off at the end of the day. Avoid contact with water, lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and cleaning products as they can damage the finish and materials.
Take Off When Sleeping or Exercising:
To prevent unnecessary wear and tear, remove your jewellery when sleeping or engaging in physical activities. This will help avoid stretching, scratching, or tarnishing.
Storing Your Jewellery
Keep it Safe:
When not wearing your Sogra jewellery, store it in the pouch or box that comes with it.
Avoid Storing in Humid Environments:
Keep your jewellery in a dry, cool place. Humidity can cause tarnishing, particularly with gold-plated items, and it can affect the appearance of precious stones over time.
Caring for Gold Jewellery
Avoid Scratching:
21K gold is a durable metal, but it can still be scratched. To protect its surface, store your jewelry separately from other items and avoid contact with rough surfaces.
Polish Gently:
Use a soft cloth to wipe your jewelry after wearing it to remove oils and dirt. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Caring for Gold-Plated Jewellery
Avoid Water:
To maintain the vibrant finish of your gold-plated pieces, avoid exposing them to water. Remove your jewellery before swimming or showering to prevent the gold plating from wearing off prematurely.
Store Separately:
Gold-plated items should be stored separately from other jewellery to avoid scratching and loss of plating.
Caring for Silver
Prevent Tarnishing:
Since pure silver can tarnish over time, store it in a dry, airtight container when not in use. Tarnishing can be minimized by regularly polishing your jewelry with a silver polishing cloth.
Clean and Polish Regularly:
For tarnish, gently clean your silver jewelry with silver polish, followed by a soft cloth. Use a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish and maintain its natural luster.
Caring for Stones
Handle with Care:
While the stones in Sogra jewellery are durable, they are still precious and should be treated with care. Avoid dropping your jewellery or subjecting it to rough surfaces that can chip or scratch the stones.
