Care Guide
Keep your &django jewellery looking its best
A few simple habits help your handmade pieces stay bright, comfortable, and ready for everyday wear.
Everyday care
Quick care rules (the easy wins)
Most wear-and-tear comes from moisture, chemicals, and friction. Follow these simple guidelines to protect finishes and keep stones secure.
Last on, first off
Put jewellery on after skincare, perfume, and hair products. Take it off before washing hands, showering, or sleeping.
Keep it dry
Avoid pools, hot tubs, and the ocean. If your piece gets wet, pat dry with a soft cloth and let it air-dry fully before storing.
Be gentle with chemicals
Remove jewellery before cleaning, using sanitizer, or applying sunscreen. Chemicals can dull shine and weaken plating over time.
Avoid friction + impact
Take off pieces for workouts, heavy lifting, and chores. Impacts can bend posts, loosen settings, and scratch surfaces.
Cleaning
How to clean your jewellery at home
For most pieces, a gentle clean is all you need: use a soft, dry polishing cloth to restore shine. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water with a tiny drop of mild soap, then rinse and pat dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ultrasonic machines unless we’ve confirmed they’re safe for your materials.
Store it like you love it
Proper storage prevents tangles, scratches, and tarnish—especially for delicate chains and statement pieces.
Care FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about wear, storage, and repairs.
Will my jewellery tarnish?
Some metals naturally oxidize over time, especially with moisture and air exposure. Regular gentle wiping and dry storage help slow this down.
Can I shower or swim in my pieces?
We don’t recommend it. Water, chlorine, and salt can dull finishes and weaken plating—remove jewellery before swimming or showering.
What’s the best way to store necklaces?
Store chains separately (or hang them) to prevent tangles. Keep them in a dry pouch or compartment away from other pieces.
My earring back feels loose—what should I do?
Stop wearing it until it’s secure. If you have a spare back, swap it in; otherwise contact us and we’ll help you find the right replacement.
Can you repair or refresh a piece I bought from you?
Often, yes. Send a photo and a quick note about what’s happening, and we’ll recommend the best next step.
How do I keep my pieces looking shiny?
Wipe after wear with a soft cloth, store dry, and avoid lotions/perfume directly on the jewellery. A little consistency goes a long way.
