Jewellery Care Guide
How to keep your Glamaura pieces looking their best — for longer.
General Jewellery Care Tips
Keep your pieces looking their best with these simple care instructions.
Put jewellery on last
Apply perfume, moisturiser, and hairspray before you put your jewellery on. Chemicals in these products can dull finishes and accelerate wear.
Take it off first.
Remove jewellery before washing your hands, showering, swimming, or exercising. Prolonged exposure to water, sweat, and chlorine can cause discolouration.
Avoid sleeping in jewellery
Wearing pieces overnight can cause chains to knot, clasps to weaken, and stones to loosen over time.
Handle with clean, dry hands
Oils and dirt from your skin transfer to jewellery and can build up in settings and on chains.
One piece at a time.
When putting jewellery on or taking it off, work with one item at a time to avoid tangling or scratching.
Avoiding Tarnish and Damage
Caring for Gold-Plated Jewellery
- Keep it dry
- Clean with a dry soft cloth only
- Avoid abrasive materials
- Store in an airtight environment
- Rotate your pieces
A note on plating wear
Please be aware that gold plating will naturally wear over time depending on skin chemistry, environmental factors, and how frequently the item is worn.
Note: It is normal to see the silver base metal eventually show through. Proper care will prolong the life of your plated pieces.
Caring for Sterling Silver Jewellery
- Polish regularly with a silver cloth
- Mild soap solution
- Store away from air

- Wear it often
Caring for Fashion Jewellery

Final Care Tips
A few last thoughts to keep your Glamaura collection looking its best over the long term:
Less is more when cleaning.
Overcleaning can be as damaging as neglect. A gentle wipe after each wear is more effective than an intensive clean every few weeks.
Check your pieces regularly
Take a moment now and then to check that clasps are secure, stones are firmly in place, and chains have no weak links. Catching small issues early prevents loss.
Be honest about your lifestyle
If you lead an active life, keep your most delicate pieces for special occasions and invest in more robust styles for daily wear. There is a piece in the Glamaura range to suit every routine.
Some wear is natural
Even with the best care, jewellery worn daily will show gentle signs of use over time. This is normal and does not reflect the quality of the piece — it simply tells the story of how much it has been enjoyed.
