JEWELLERY CARE

Great care has been taken in creating your jewellery. To protect it and contribute to its longevity, we suggest that you store your jewellery separately and in its original packaging as metals and stones can scratch when they come into contact with each other.

 

Pearls

In order to protect the lustre, pearls should be cleaned with a soft dry cloth after each wearing. As with all jewellery, pearls should never come into contact with make-up or perfume due to possible discolouration. Imitation and shell pearls are especially sensitive to this due to their coating. Due to the silk stretching when in contact with body temperature, we suggest restringing pearls every 12-18 months, even if they are worn infrequently. We no longer offer a pearl restringing service at Ciro but please call our Burlington Arcade boutique on (+44) 207 499 1364 and we can recommend a London-based reputable and knowledgeable stringer.

 

Cubic Zirconia

We recommend you treat our cubic zirconia pieces as you would fine jewellery. Contact with make-up and perfume attracts dust which can cause the stones to appear dull. To avoid this we recommend putting your jewellery on after applying cosmetics and perfume. Most of our cubic zirconia pieces are mounted in sterling silver with either an 18 carat yellow gold or rhodium plating in order to prevent tarnishing. Do not use gold or silver cleaning solutions as these can be too abrasive and may damage the finish. You can clean our cubic zirconia pieces using unperfumed warm soapy water and patted dry with a soft cloth. Pieces with a closed back should not be submerged in water. Inevitably, after a certain amount of wear the plating may need to be refreshed – we are able to direct you to a reputable jeweller for this service.

 

 

Fashion and Costume Jewellery

Most of our fashion pieces are made from base metal with a silver or yellow gold plated finish. As with all our jewellery, we recommend applying all cosmetics before wearing, as the chemicals in make-up and perfume can cause the plating to erode or become dull. To clean, always wipe with a soft dry cloth after each wearing. Do not use brushes or cleaning solutions as this may damage the piece.
