Jewellery Care Guide

EVERYDAY WEAR

Remove your jewellery when cleaning, bathing and sleeping, and always keep away from any source of heat. Avoid direct contact with water and chemical products. Chlorine, make-up, soap, perfume and hair-spray may dull the finish of your jewellery and cause discoloration or oxidation of the metal. Stones connected to your jewellery might also be affected by water, chemicals and damp conditions. We therefore advise you do not store your jewellery in the bathroom.

Please handle your jewellery with care and avoid collision with hard surfaces, as it could change the shape of the jewellery, as well as damage or cause stones to fall out. This is particularly true for rings, as they are more exposed.

Kindly note that layering a ring with another ring can cause wear and tear, which might affect the stone-setting.
STORING YOUR JEWELLERY

We recommend storing your jewellery individually in its accompanied Tom Wood jewellery box or pouch, as this prevents wear and tear. This also helps against the jewellery being exposure to direct sunlight.
CLEANING YOUR JEWELLERY

Clean your jewellery with warm water and detergent free soap, or with a professional cleaning kit. Furthermore, we recommend your jewellery to be cleaned by a professional jeweler once a year to have it last longer. Cleaning of stone-settings should always be done by a professional. Following these instructions will reduce abrasions and prolong the lifespan and luster of your jewellery.
STONES

Please note that all our stones are ethically sourced and of the highest quality.

Natural stones may result in different patterns and unique looks for each stone. The stones might also come with different hardness, but all stones are fragile and might break or chip if they collide with a hard surface.
No jewellery should be pulled or re-sized out of shape. Rings and ear cuffs with diamonds and gemstones should never be pressed out of shape or bent. This could cause the original setting to re-shape, increasing the risk of stones falling out.

Our band rings with stones going all the way around the ring should be worn gently.

Depending on the amount of use your jewellery sees, we advise all jewellery with stones, and in particular jewellery with multiple stones, to be checked once per year to ensure that the metal setting has not been hurt while wearing the piece.

Cleaning stone settings should be done at a goldsmith, as these are fragile and can easily be damaged if not cleaned correctly.
CHAINS AND BRACELETS

Please avoid using force when opening and closing locks, and make sure you know how the lock functions before attempting to open it. Do not bend or pull chains or bracelets, as they might break.

Make sure chains are not tangled when storing, and please try to place the chain or bracelet in a soft pouch to prevent it from getting bent or breaking.
