JEWELLERY CARE
At THE MENUE, we want you to cherish your jewellery for years to come. To maintain its brilliance and longevity, please follow these essential care instructions.
Wearing your jewellery
Handle your jewellery with care to prevent unnecessary wear and tear. Always put on your jewellery last when getting ready and remove it first upon returning home. This minimizes exposure to cosmetics, perfumes, and other substances that may contain chemicals capable of tarnishing or discoloring delicate materials.
When wearing fine or delicate jewellery, take extra precautions, as certain pieces may snag on fabrics or become damaged due to excessive movement or impact. Avoid wearing jewellery while engaging in strenuous activities, including sports, household chores, or manual work, to prevent accidental breakage.
Protecting your jewellery
To maintain the original colour and finish of your jewellery, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, artificial lighting, excessive heat, and high humidity. These environmental factors can cause fading, warping, or oxidation.
If your jewellery comes into contact with moisture or water, gently pat it dry with a soft, non-pilling, absorbent cloth to prevent potential tarnishing or damage. Avoid exposing your pieces to chlorinated or saltwater, as these substances may weaken metal alloys or erode gemstones.
Preserving the shine
To ensure your jewellery retains its luster, regularly polish it with a soft, lint-free cloth. This gentle cleaning method removes surface oils and maintains its brilliance.
Avoid using harsh cleaning agents, soaps, detergents, or abrasive chemicals, as these substances may corrode, rust, or discolor metals and gemstones. For intricate or valuable pieces, professional cleaning is recommended to preserve their integrity.
Proper storage and Transportation
Store each piece of jewellery separately in its original pouch, a soft-lined jewellery box, or a dedicated storage case to prevent scratches, tangling, or other forms of damage. Keeping jewellery away from direct air exposure and humidity helps prevent oxidation and tarnishing.
For travel, ensure jewellery is securely packed in a padded or compartmentalized case to minimize movement and prevent accidental breakage.
