Demi-fine jewellery is the perfect balance between luxury and affordability. At Shining Halo, we craft our pieces using high-quality materials like sterling silver or 18K yellow gold plating and semi-precious gemstones to ensure you get timeless elegance that lasts. However, proper care is essential to maintain the brilliance and longevity of your jewellery. Follow these simple yet effective tips to keep your demi-fine pieces shining for years to come.

1. Keep Away from Water and Chemicals

Exposure to water, perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals can cause tarnishing or wear down the plating on gold vermeil and silver pieces. Always remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, or applying beauty products to preserve its luster.

2. Store Properly

When not in use, store your jewellery in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and oxidation. Keep pieces separate to avoid tangling and friction that may lead to wear.

3. Clean Regularly

Gently clean your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and oils. For deeper cleaning, use warm water and mild soap with a soft brush, then pat dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the finish.

4. Wear with Care

Demi-fine jewellery is delicate and should be worn with caution. Avoid wearing it while doing heavy-duty tasks, exercising, or sleeping to prevent accidental damage or unnecessary strain on the metal.

5. Replate When Needed

Over time, gold vermeil pieces may naturally fade with wear. If you notice any loss of colour, consider having your jewellery professionally re-plated to restore its original shine.

6. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight and Humidity

Prolonged exposure to sunlight and moisture can accelerate tarnishing, especially for sterling silver. Store your pieces in a cool, dry place to maintain their brilliance.

With these simple maintenance tips, you can enjoy your jewellery pieces for years while keeping them looking as beautiful as the day you got them.
