How to Care for Your Dorsya Jewellery: Keep Your Pieces Beautiful for Years to Come

How to Care for Your Dorsya Jewellery: Keep Your Pieces Beautiful for Years to Come

At Dorsya, we create jewellery that not only empowers you but is built to last. To ensure your jewellery stays as stunning as the day you first wore it, here are some essential care tips tailored to each material used in our collections.

Sterling Silver: 
Sterling silver is a classic, beautiful material that retains its shine with the right care. To keep your sterling silver jewellery looking its best, store it in a dry, airtight pouch or Dorsya jewellery box when not in use. This helps protect your pieces from moisture and environmental exposure that can cause them to lose their gleam.

When cleaning your sterling silver, use a soft cloth to gently polish the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cloths, as these can damage the finish. For a deeper clean, a silver cleaner can be used, but only for sterling silver pieces. Note that this is not suitable for gold-plated or vermeil pieces, which require a gentler approach.


Sterling Silver Gold-Plated:
Gold-plated jewellery adds a touch of luxury, but it does require special care to maintain its golden lustre. To keep the plating intact, avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions, and other harsh chemicals that can wear down the gold layer over time. When cleaning, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to preserve the gold finish. Storing these pieces in a Dorsya jewellery box or pouch is a great way to protect them from scratches and wear.


Stainless Steel / Brass Gold-Plated:
Stainless steel and brass jewellery with gold plating need similar care as sterling silver gold-plated pieces. To protect the gold finish, avoid exposing them to water, lotions, and perfumes. Clean them gently with a soft microfibre cloth, which will help maintain their shine. For storage, keep these pieces in a Dorsya jewellery box or pouch to avoid scratches and ensure their long-lasting beauty.


Gemstones: 
Gemstones add a unique touch to your jewellery, but they require careful handling to keep their beauty intact. Avoid exposing gemstones to harsh chemicals, prolonged sunlight, or water. To clean them, simply wipe with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt and oils. Be sure to store your gemstone jewellery separately in its Dorsya pouch or box to protect it from scratches and environmental damage.


How to Prevent Tarnishing
All of our jewelleryis protected with an anti-tarnish solution to help prevent tarnishing, but this may eventually wear with time. Silver tarnishes rapidly when exposed to certain substances in our everyday lives, such as moisture, chemicals, and even perfumes. To minimize tarnishing, we recommend following the care instructions for storing, wearing, and cleaning your jewellery as outlined above. Proper storage in a dry, airtight pouch or Dorsya box and regular gentle cleaning will help keep your pieces looking their best.

Final Tips for All Dorsya Jewellery:

  • Always store your jewellery in a safe, dry place, such as the Dorsya jewellery box or pouch, to prevent damage.
  • Avoid wearing jewellery while swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes.
  • Use soft cloths to clean your jewellery and avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Regular care and storage will help maintain the beauty and integrity of your Dorsya pieces.

By following these care tips, your Dorsya jewellery will continue to shine with you, maintaining its beauty and significance for years to come.
