Jewellery Care Guide

Sterling silver is a timeless material that requires proper care to maintain its beauty and shine.

• Cleaning: Gently clean your sterling silver jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt. You can also use a silver polishing cloth to restore its shine.
• Avoid Tarnishing: Sterling silver may tarnish over time. Store your pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, and chemicals. For added protection, keep your sterling silver jewellery in a soft pouch or an anti-tarnish bag.
• Gentle Handling: Avoid exposing your sterling silver jewellery to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions. Always put your jewellery on after applying these products.

Gold-plated jewellery is delicate and requires extra care to maintain its radiant appearance.

• Cleaning: Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishing cloths as they can wear off the gold plating.
• Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals: Gold-plated jewellery should be kept away from chemicals, cosmetics, lotions, and perfumes. Always apply these products before wearing your jewellery.
• Storage: Store your gold-plated jewellery in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent it from being scratched or damaged by other pieces.

Stainless steel is durable and naturally resistant to tarnishing. Some Ms Allure stainless-steel pieces are specifically marked as water resistant; always check the individual product listing for the features of your piece.

• Cleaning: Clean with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Water-resistant styles: Occasional water exposure is suitable for pieces specifically labelled water resistant, but rinse and dry them after exposure where practical.
• Protect the finish: Avoid bleach, chlorine and other harsh chemicals, and store pieces away from abrasive surfaces to reduce scratches.

Crystals add sparkle and elegance to your jewellery, but they need extra care to preserve their brilliance.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe crystal-encrusted jewellery with a soft cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can dull the crystals.
• Avoid Impact: Be mindful of rough handling, as crystals can be delicate and prone to chipping or loosening. Always store your crystal-encrusted jewellery in a safe, padded place.
• Keep Away from Water: Avoid wearing crystal-encrusted jewellery while swimming or in damp environments, as moisture can affect the integrity of the stones and metal settings.

Leather is a natural material that can last a lifetime with proper care. To ensure your leather handbag stays in excellent condition, follow these tips:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner that is specifically designed for your type of leather. Always test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t affect the color or texture.
• Conditioning: Leather can dry out over time, so it’s important to condition it regularly with a leather conditioner to keep it soft and supple. Apply the conditioner with a soft cloth, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Avoid Water: Leather is sensitive to moisture. If your handbag gets wet, blot it gently with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally—never use direct heat such as a hairdryer, as it can cause the leather to crack.
• Storage: When not in use, store your leather handbag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Consider filling the handbag with tissue paper to help maintain its shape. Always store it in a dust bag or soft pouch to protect it from dust and scratches.
• Avoid Chemicals: Keep your leather handbag away from harsh chemicals, oils, and perfumes. These can cause staining or discoloration. Handle your bag with clean hands to avoid transferring oils from your skin.

Vegan leather offers the same stylish look as traditional leather, with the added benefit of being animal-friendly. Here's how to care for your vegan leather handbag:

• Cleaning: Vegan leather is easy to clean—simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and stains. For stubborn marks, you can use mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh cleaning products or abrasives, as they can damage the surface.
• Conditioning: While vegan leather doesn’t need conditioning like natural leather, it can benefit from occasional treatment with a vegan leather conditioner to keep it looking fresh and maintain its flexibility. Follow the instructions on the product you’re using.
• Avoid Water: Although vegan leather is more water-resistant than real leather, it’s still best to keep your handbag dry. If it gets wet, wipe it down immediately with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture over long periods.
• Storage: When not in use, store your vegan leather handbag in a dust bag or soft pouch to protect it from dirt and dust. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time. You can also fill the bag with tissue paper to help maintain its shape.
• Avoid Scratches: Vegan leather is generally more prone to scratches than genuine leather. To minimize damage, be mindful of where you place your handbag and avoid rough surfaces that could cause abrasions.
