Personalised Jewellery

Every Tintor jewelry piece is designed to last for many years, whether it's sterling silver jewelry, 925 sterling silver rings, necklaces, or personalized jewelry. However, all precious jewelry, including sterling silver, can naturally tarnish and appear dull without proper care.

For some items, this natural aging adds character and uniqueness.

Always protect your jewelry from knocks, scratches, chemicals, sunlight, and temperature extremes to maintain its beauty.

General Jewelry Care Instructions

• Remove jewelry when showering or bathing, particularly on the beach, in the sea, or chlorinated pools.

• Avoid wearing your jewelry during physical activities, such as housekeeping, gardening, exercise, or jewelry making activities.

• Never expose your jewelry to household cleaning products, especially bleach or highly reactive solutions.

• Avoid spraying perfume or hairspray directly on sterling silver necklaces, rings, and other jewelry, as it compromises the integrity of gemstones and metals.

• Remove jewelry when applying makeup or creams to prevent residue from dulling your sterling silver rings or other precious pieces.

• Store your jewelry safely in a jewelry box to avoid scratches and other potential damage.

• Keep jewelry away from extreme temperatures and humidity.

• If gemstones feel loose or settings move, have them repaired promptly to prevent damage or loss.

General Jewelry Cleaning Tips

Use a soft, lint-free cloth for effective cleaning and maintaining the shine of silver jewelry, sterling silver rings, necklaces, and chains.

Avoid tissue paper or paper towels as these can scratch the metal surface.

For optimal results, use professional jewelry polishing products. Remember, home cleaning products do not replace professional cleaning.

Care for Gemstones

Gemstones vary greatly in hardness and durability. Many are sensitive and vulnerable to scratches and damage. Avoid using hot water, harsh chemicals, or household cleaners on gemstones. Always use special jewelry-safe cleaning products or consult a jewelry store for professional advice.

We advise cleaning gemstones carefully with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. Porous stones like turquoise and emeralds require cleaning with a dry, untreated soft cloth only.

Never clean gemstones with tissue paper or paper towels as they can scratch surfaces.

Schedule professional inspections at your jewelry store every six months to ensure gemstone settings remain secure, preventing potential damage or loss.

Whether you own sterling silver jewelry, permanent jewelry pieces, or personalized jewelry, following these care guidelines will preserve their beauty and longevity.
