KATA Jewellery – Care & Maintenance Guide

At KATA Jewellery, we want your piece to stay as beautiful as the day you received it. With a little care and attention, your jewellery can last for generations. This guide outlines some simple tips to keep your jewellery in the best possible condition.

Everyday Care

• Last on, first off: Put your jewellery on after applying perfume, lotion, hairspray, or cosmetics. These products can dull metals and damage stones.

• Remove before activities: Take off jewellery before exercising, swimming, showering, or sleeping to prevent unnecessary stress or damage.

• Keep it dry: Avoid exposure to water, chlorine, salt, and harsh chemicals, which can weaken metals and affect finishes.

Storage

• Store separately: Keep each piece in its own pouch or soft-lined jewellery box to prevent scratching and tangling.

• Avoid humidity: Store jewellery in a cool, dry place. For silver, an anti-tarnish strip or cloth in the storage box can help slow tarnishing.

Cleaning

• Gentle clean: Wipe pieces regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and keep their shine.

• Warm water & mild soap: For a deeper clean, soak in lukewarm water with a little mild soap, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Avoid harsh cleaners: Do not use abrasive materials, chemical dips, or ultrasonic cleaners unless recommended by us, as they can damage stones or finishes.

Professional Servicing

We recommend having your jewellery professionally checked once a year to ensure claws, clasps, and settings remain secure. This helps prevent wear turning into damage and keeps your piece looking its best.
