Jewellery Care Guide
Because beautiful things deserve a little care
At ORNATEO, we believe beautiful jewellery deserves thoughtful care. Our gold-plated stainless steel pieces are designed for everyday elegance. With a little attention and the right care, you can help preserve their shine, finish and beauty for longer.
KEEP IT DRY
Water-resistant, but best kept dry.
- Although our gold-plated stainless steel jewellery is water-resistant, we recommend removing it before showering, swimming or exercising.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, chlorine and saltwater to help protect the gold-plated finish.
- If your jewellery gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
LAST ON, FIRST OFF
A little care goes a long way.
- Apply perfume, moisturiser, sunscreen and hairspray before putting on your jewellery.
- Allow skincare products and fragrances to dry completely before wearing your pieces.
- Remove your jewellery before using household cleaning products or handling harsh chemicals.
- Make your jewellery the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.
POLISH GENTLY
Gentle cleaning helps preserve the beauty of your jewellery.
- After each wear, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils and residue.
- For gold-plated stainless steel pieces, use a slightly damp, soft cloth when necessary and dry immediately.
- Avoid abrasive polishing cloths, jewellery cleaning solutions, harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, as these may damage the gold plating.
- For freshwater pearls, gently wipe with a soft cloth after wearing. Avoid soaking pearls or exposing them to cleaning solutions.
STORE WITH LOVE
A beautiful home for your treasured pieces.
- Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, humidity and excessive heat.
- Keep each piece separately in its ORNATEO gift box or a soft jewellery pouch to help prevent scratches and tangling.
- Lay necklaces flat or hang them carefully to prevent knots and damage.
- Store freshwater pearls away from excessive dryness and heat, which may affect their natural lustre.
- Avoid storing jewellery in bathrooms or other damp environments.
A NOTE ABOUT GOLD PLATING
Our gold-plated stainless steel jewellery is designed to combine everyday elegance with lasting beauty. Over time, the gold-plated finish may naturally show signs of wear depending on how frequently your jewellery is worn and how it is cared for.
To help preserve its shine and appearance, follow our care recommendations and avoid unnecessary exposure to moisture, chemicals and friction. With thoughtful care, your ORNATEO pieces can continue to look beautiful for longer.
