Everyday Essentials for the lovers of jewelry
JEWELLERY CARE
At Weekend Lane, we bring in only the best quality pieces for our lovely customers. With proper love and care, the shine and colour of your jewels will remain as good as new for the longest time!
This care guide will help you maintain your jewellery to ensure its longevity.
Always remember that your jewellery should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off when dressing. It's important to remember that all metal is susceptible to natural wear and will eventually oxidise, fade. It is important to care for your jewellery so that the colour and shine will last you a long time.
​
- Remove your jewellery when exercising, showering, swimming and hand washing. Chlorine, salt water and fresh water can damage precious metals, gold, silver by dulling or eroding them. Soapy water when bathing and showering can also leave a thin film, which makes the metal seem dull.
In other words, when there's liquid, there should be no wear.
​
- Always store your jewellery pieces individually so that they don't rub together, scratch or tangle.
​
- Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach, oil, jewellery cleansers or polishing cloths as this can affect the finishing and plating.
​
- Avoid contact with perfume, hair spray, cosmetics, body lotions/oils, nail polish remover. Wipe away any residue if it does come into contact. Your jewellery is particularly susceptible to damage from the effects of chemicals in them.
​
- Cleaning your jewellery regularly will increase the life-span of your piece. We recommend gently wiping or rubbing the jewellery with a dry soft cloth or microfibre cloth. Do not apply a lot of pressure when rubbing.
​
- Store your jewellery in a sealed plastic bag, zip lock or airtight box when it is not being worn to keep out the air that causes oxidisation.
​
- Keep away from direct sunlight and away from heat.
