Jewellery Care

At Beorna, we create pieces designed to last a lifetime. However, even the finest materials—from 18k solid gold to precious gemstones—require gentle care to maintain their original luster. Follow this guide to ensure your jewelry remains a sparkling part of your story for years to come.

1. The Golden Rules of Wearing

To prevent unnecessary wear and tear, remember the "Last On, First Off" rule:

  • The Finishing Touch: Always apply perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals in beauty products can dull the shine of gold and damage porous stones.

  • Active Lifestyles: Remove your jewelry before exercising, gardening, or any strenuous activity to avoid scratches or accidental impact.

  • Sweet Dreams: We recommend removing your pieces before sleep to prevent tangling or putting pressure on delicate chains and settings.

2. Water & Chemicals

While gold is resilient, environmental factors can impact its appearance:

  • Pools & Spas: Chlorine and salt water can be harsh on precious metals and may loosen gemstone settings. Always remove jewelry before swimming.

  • Shower Rituals: Avoid wearing your jewelry in the shower, as soap residue and hard water can create a film that masks the brilliance of your gems.

  • Household Cleaning: Harsh chemicals found in cleaning products can permanently discolour gold. Always wear gloves or remove your rings before chores.

3. How to Clean Your Jewelry at Home

Keep your Beorna pieces glowing with a simple routine:

  • Step 1: Soak your jewelry in a bowl of lukewarm water mixed with a few drops of mild, pH-neutral dish soap.

  • Step 2: Use a very soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub away any dirt, paying close attention to the underside of stones.

  • Step 3: Rinse thoroughly under clean running water (ensure the drain is closed!).

  • Step 4: Pat dry with a lint-free, soft microfiber cloth. Do not use paper towels, as they can cause micro-scratches.

4. Conscious Storage

Proper storage is the best way to prevent tarnishing and tangling:

  • Individual Spaces: Store each piece separately in its original Beorna pouch or a lined jewelry box. This prevents diamonds (the hardest stone) from scratching your gold or other gems.

  • Cool & Dry: Keep your jewelry in a dark, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Professional Check-ups

We recommend having your fine jewelry professionally inspected once a year. A jeweler can check for loose prongs, worn clasps, or deep scratches that may need professional polishing.
