To ensure your jewellery retains its beauty for years to come, please follow these care instructions.

When not in use, please keep your House of Flourish creation in the box or pouch provided at the time of your purchase.
Gold has a shine, oh so unique and beautiful. And to maintain it, it’s not as difficult as you think. One must avoid other metals, body oils and fragrances when storing gold.
1. To store it correctly
● Ideally, you should store the
jewellery
in its House of Flourish box to avoid scratches caused by close contact among various metals.
However, if any of your jewellery doesn’t have its own box, we recommend using a Flourish
fabric-lined box that can be found here.
● To keep your gold jewellery in the best
condition,
make sure it’s stored in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
● You may prevent your
gold
chains from entangling, by ensuring the chains always lie flat and clasped.
2. Avoid contact
with chemicals
● We recommend avoiding exposure to fragrance, harsh soaps, chemicals or
cosmetics, as these could affect the colour, texture and form. It is best to wait until
fragrances and cosmetics have dried completely before wearing your jewellery.
●
Prolonged
exposure to any kind of chemicals, may lead to damaging the integrity of the metal.
● It
is
important to not expose your precious piece to water (chlorinated or salt) or too high
temperatures (such as prolonged sun exposure).
● It is recommended that you avoid
wearing
your
jewellery when performing certain activities (sports, gardening, etc.) to prevent it from being
knocked about or coming into direct contact with harmful substances.
3. To clean your gold
jewellery
● Do not put too much pressure on the jewellery and avoid using abrasive materials
for
cleaning as that could lead to scratching or damaging the precious piece.
● Dip your
jewellery
into a bowl of warm non-toxic soap water for a few minutes and then proceed to gently scrub the
pieces using a soft Flourish brush. Rinse off with clean water, and pat dry completely using the
Flourish polishing cloth. This will help maintain the lustre of your jewellery.
An often-asked question is "How to clean silver jewellery at home?". Sterling silver requires special care to preserve its appearance and longevity. It tarnishes when exposed to salty air, chlorine, sulphur, humidity, perspiration, cosmetics, household bleach and other strong chemicals. To remove tarnish, we recommend routinely wiping your sterling silver jewellery with a House of Flourish polishing cloth, that you can find here .
● Remove heavy tarnish with warm water, mild soap and a clean,
soft cotton or flannel cloth, a soft-bristle brush or a special sterling silver cleaning cloth.
● Please note that silver polish or dip-style cleaning solutions are not recommended.
The best way to maintain your pearls’ lustre (and romance!) is to wear them often. The body’s natural oils help maintain its beauty. Pearls should not be layered with other jewellery as they scratch easily.
● Please keep your pearls away from perfumes, cosmetics,
perspiration, chlorine, saltwater, vinegar, ammonia or any other corrosive substance.
●
Gently
wipe the pearls with a slightly damp cloth after wearing them.
● Wash your pearls
periodically
with mild soap (not detergent) and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly in clean water and wrap them
in a thin cotton towel to dry.
● Never wash pearls with an ultrasonic cleaner.
●
Should
your
pearls come in contact with food or liquid, wipe off your jewellery immediately with a soft damp
cloth and allow it to dry.
● Pearls require humidity. When storing them, make sure the
environment is not too dry or they may crack.
Crystalline gemstones such as amethyst, blue topaz, rose quartz, citrine, and aquamarines may attract oils and lotions, which cause them to appear dull over time.
● To clean your jewellery, soak it in a bowl of water with a small
quantity of mild dish soap for 15 minutes.
● If needed, remove dirt around and behind
the
stone
using a soft-bristle toothbrush.
● Place jewellery in a cloth strainer and rinse
thoroughly
before drying with a lint-free cloth.
● Store it separately, ideally in a soft-lined
case,
so
that your favourite pieces don't tangle, rub or scratch one another.
● Prevent damage or
loss of
your jewellery by storing them individually in their original box or pouch after wearing them.
Chains should be laid flat to avoid entangling.
● Avoid exposing gemstones to heat,
harsh
sunlight or damp weather conditions.
● Consider removing your jewellery before going to
sleep,
practising any sport, or washing your hands or body.
● To keep your gemstones in good
condition,
it is important to avoid contact with abrasive and hard surfaces.
