Everyday Care Essentials

Scintiller jewellery is built for real life — showers, workouts, and everything in between. That said, a little routine care goes a long way in keeping your pieces looking their best.

💡 Golden rule: Put jewellery on last and take it off first. This single habit protects your pieces from perfume, lotions, and makeup — the most common causes of premature dullness.

  • Wipe each piece with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
  • Avoid abrasive cloths or scrubbing pads — they can scratch the surface and strip plating.
  • Remove jewellery before swimming in chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or the sea — these environments accelerate plating wear.
  • Never expose your jewellery to household cleaning products, bleach, or acetone.

📦 Storing Your Jewellery

Proper storage prevents scratches, tangling, and tarnish — and keeps your pieces ready to wear whenever you reach for them.

  • Store each piece separately in the included pouch or a soft-lined jewellery box.
  • Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity — a drawer or closed box is ideal.
  • For chains, store flat or loosely coiled. Never leave chains tangled together.
  • For rings, a tray with individual slots prevents scratching between pieces.
  • Avoid storing jewellery in the bathroom, where steam and humidity fluctuate daily.

💎 Material-Specific Guidance

Different materials have different needs. Expand each section below for targeted advice.

  • Clean with warm water.
  • Dry completely before storing — never store damp, as moisture can dull the finish.
  • Avoid abrasive cloths that can strip the plating over time.
  • Avoid contact with chlorine bleach, acids, and ammonia-based cleaners.
  • Clean with a damp soft cloth or a very gentle brush to remove oil and residue.
  • Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with glued or prong-set stones.
  • Protect gemstones from prolonged UV exposure, which can cause colour fading over time.
  • Hard stones like CZ can scratch softer stones — store separately.
  • Wipe pearls with a damp soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and perspiration.
  • Never soak pearls in water or use ultrasonic cleaners — they damage the nacre.
  • Apply perfume and cosmetics before wearing pearl jewellery — pearls are last on, first off.
  • Pearls are porous — keep them away from hairspray, chlorine, and acids.

Making It Last

Our jewellery is designed for everyday wear, but a few simple habits can significantly extend the life of your pieces:

  • Rotate your pieces rather than wearing the same ones every single day.
  • Remove rings before heavy manual work — gardening, gym, moving furniture.
  • Avoid exposing jewellery to extreme temperatures (saunas, very hot showers).
  • Pat dry immediately if pieces get wet, rather than letting them air-dry on the skin.

🛡️ 3-Month Warranty: Every Scintiller piece is backed by our manufacturing warranty. If something goes wrong due to craftsmanship — not wear and tear — we'll repair or replace it free. See our Warranty page for full details.
