The Art of Caring for Your Jewellery and Watches with Bijouterie LSM

Your jewellery is much more than just an accessory: each piece tells a story, reflects your style, and can be passed down from generation to generation. To keep them sparkling and in perfect condition, it is essential to care for them properly. Discover our expert advice for each type of jewellery and how we can help you preserve them!

Silver Jewellery 

Silver is elegant, but it can tarnish over time. To preserve its brilliance: 

  1. Store properly: in a dry place, away from light and moisture.  
  2. Avoid chemicals: perfume, lotion, chlorine, and other substances can damage your jewellery.  
  3. Clean regularly: use a soft cloth or a polishing cloth; for a deep clean, LSM Silver Jewellery Cleaner is an essential for restoring your jewellery’s shine.  

Gold Jewellery 

Gold is more wear resistant than silver, but requires gentle care to maintain its shine, regardless of its carat weight or whether it consists of plated jewellery: 

  1. Clean gently: with warm soapy water and a very soft brush.  
  2. Store separately: to prevent your jewellery from scraping one another. 
  3. Entrust a professional: An occasional cleaning by an expert will restore shine; the LSM Gold Jewellery Cleaner is specially designed for the care of your gold jewellery.  

Jewellery With Diamonds or Precious Stones 

Diamonds and precious stones are beautiful, but delicate. Here’s how to care for them while also protecting your other jewellery:  

  1. Clean often: they easily attract grease and dirt.  
  2. Store separately: to prevent stones from scraping other jewellery. 
  3. Check the prongs: regularly check that the stones are securely set.

Jewellery With Pearls 

Pearls are delicate and require special care: 

  1. Put them on last and take them off first: to minimize contact with makeup, perfume and lotion.  
  2. Avoid contact with water and chemicals: although it may seem surprising, contact with water should be avoided given how they are set in the jewellery; contact with water or chemicals can dull their lustre.  
  3. Store them flat: keep them away from heat and humidity to prevent accelerated wear; for more comprehensive care or pearl restringing, our experts can intervene and extend the life of your pearl jewellery.  

Watches 

Watches are also deserving of regular maintenance: 

  1. Clean the strap and case: with a soft cloth to remove dust and residue.  
  2. Avoid excessive moisture: even water-resistant watches have their limits.  
  3. Have them serviced regularly: professional check-up ensures their accuracy and extends their life; to replace your watch battery, contact our service teams for a watch battery replacement.
