Jewellery Care Guide: How to Look After Your Sterling Silver, Gold, Gold-Filled and Silk Cord Pieces
Jewellery is made to be worn, loved, and lived in – but with the right care, your favourite pieces will stay beautiful for years to come. At Feyre Jewellery, we handcraft everything with high-quality materials, and a little maintenance goes a long way. Here’s a simple guide to looking after your sterling silver, solid gold, gold-filled jewellery, and silk cord necklaces.

Sterling Silver 🌿
Sterling silver is durable and timeless, but it can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture, or chemicals.
Care tips:
• Wear often – natural oils help prevent tarnish.
• Store in an airtight pouch or box.
• Remove before swimming, showering, or cleaning.
• Polish gently with a soft cloth.
✨ Tarnish is normal and easily removed – don’t panic if your silver darkens!

Solid Gold ✨
Solid gold won’t tarnish or rust, making it perfect for everyday wear.
Care tips:
• Safe to wear daily, even in water.
• Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
• Avoid knocks as gold is a softer metal.
✨ Regular cleaning keeps gold glowing.
⸻
Gold-Filled 🌸
Gold-filled jewellery has a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal, making it strong and long-lasting.
Care tips:
• Avoid prolonged water exposure (hot tubs, swimming pools).
• Clean with a soft cloth or mild soapy water.
• Store separately to prevent scratches.
✨ Care for it like solid gold, and it will last beautifully.
⸻
Silk Cord Necklaces 🌙
Silk adds a natural, delicate touch, but it needs special care.
Care tips:
• Avoid water and sweat to prevent fraying.
• Store flat and untangled.
• Handle gently – avoid pulling or knotting.
• Replace when needed over time.
✨ Treat silk like you would your favourite silk blouse – gently.
