How to Care for Your Jewellery
Your jewellery deserves the utmost care to maintain its beauty and longevity. Here are some essential tips:
Store your unworn jewellery flat in the eco-friendly jewellery box provided at the time of purchase or in your own jewellery box. This safeguards against scratches and damage.
Always remove your jewels when engaging in practical activities to prevent damage or gemstone scratches. Take them off when washing hands, showering, participating in sports, or sleeping.
Refrain from exposing your jewellery to household chemicals, hand sanitisers, perfumes, hairsprays, or moisturiser products. These substances can tarnish and discolour precious metals, gold plating, and gemstones. It's especially critical for porous gemstones and beads like Lapis Lazuli, Coral, Pearl, Opal, Emerald, Onyx, Agate, and Dolomite. These softer gemstones need special care as such products can corrode their surfaces and make them loose their colour, in certain cases staining your skin.

Different types of pearls are produced in various regions and have distinct characteristics. Here's more detail on each type of pearl, how they are produced, and where they are typically found:
Akoya Pearls
Akoya pearls are primarily cultivated in Japan and China. They are grown in Akoya oysters, which are smaller in size. A small bead nucleus is inserted into the oyster, and the oyster then coats it with layers of nacre.
Akoya pearls are known for their high luster, round shape, and a colour range that includes white, cream, and sometimes with pink overtones.
Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater pearls are mainly produced in China, and other countries like the United States. They are grown in mussels, and multiple pearls can develop in a single mussel.
Freshwater pearls come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, including white, pastel shades, and even purples. They are often less expensive than other pearl types.
Tahitian Pearls

Tahitian pearls are known for their dark, exotic colors, including shades of black, peacock green, and gray. They are larger in size and highly valued for their unique hues.
South Sea Pearls
South Sea pearls are typically produced in the warm waters of Australia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. They are grown in white-lipped or gold-lipped oysters.

Baroque Pearls
