How to Care for Your Tilly May Jewellery

Your Tilly May jewellery is crafted to be both beautiful and enduring. Proper care is crucial to maintain its shine and protect it from everyday wear. All jewellery created by Tilly May is designed to be durable and long-lasting. However, proper care is essential to prevent fading, scratches, or tarnishing.

Here’s how you can care for your treasured pieces:

  • Proper Storage: Store your jewellery in the Tilly May pouch or box to protect it from moisture and prevent scratching or rubbing against other metals.

  • Minimise Chemical Exposure: Keep your jewellery away from chemicals, such as cosmetics, perfumes, lotions, and water. These substances can cause discolouration or wear. To minimise risk, always put on your jewellery after applying any products.

  • Natural Tarnishing: Over time, tarnishing may naturally occur, influenced by factors such as skin acidity, humidity, or exposure to environmental conditions.

  • Gentle Cleaning: Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe each piece. Avoid excessive rubbing, as this may damage the plating.

  • Daily Habits: Take off your jewellery before exercising, swimming, or showering. After wearing, wipe the pieces lightly, and store them in the pouch to keep them safe.

  • Protective Environment: Keep your jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, or any harsh chemicals to preserve its durability and appearance.
