At Bloomtine, we craft jewellery that is designed to be cherished—each piece carries meaning, symbolism, and an aura of magic. Whether you own Gold Vermeil, Sterling Silver, 18K Solid Gold, Moissanites, or Lab Diamonds, following the right care routine will ensure your jewellery remains as dazzling as ever.
Gold Vermeil Jewellery Care
Gold Vermeil is a premium alternative to solid gold—made with a thick layer of 14K or 18K gold over sterling silver. While durable, it requires gentle care to maintain its brilliance.
✔ Keep Away from Water & Chemicals – Avoid wearing Gold Vermeil jewellery while showering, swimming, or using lotions and perfumes. Exposure to moisture and chemicals can cause the gold layer to fade over time.
✔ Store Separately – Gold Vermeil pieces should be stored in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratches.
✔ Clean Gently – Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe off any dirt or oil. For a deeper clean, lightly dampen the cloth with warm water and pat dry immediately.
Sterling Silver Jewellery Care
Sterling Silver (92.5% pure silver) naturally oxidizes over time, but with proper care, it will retain its shine.
✔ Prevent Tarnishing – Store your silver jewellery in an airtight bag when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
✔ Polish Regularly – Use a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish and restore its shine. Avoid using rough fabrics or paper towels, as they can scratch the metal.
✔ Avoid Harsh Chemicals – Perfumes, lotions, and household cleaning products can accelerate tarnishing. Always wear silver jewellery as the last step in your routine.
18K Solid Gold Jewellery Care
Solid Gold is designed to last a lifetime, but it still requires care to maintain its luster.
✔ Wear Often – Believe it or not, wearing solid gold frequently helps prevent tarnish caused by oxidation!
✔ Gentle Cleaning – Soak your gold jewellery in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, then use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to remove any dirt buildup.
✔ Buff with a Soft Cloth – A microfiber or jewellery polishing cloth can restore shine and remove fingerprints.
✔ Store Separately – While solid gold is durable, it can still get scratched by harder metals or stones. Keep each piece in its own pouch or compartment.
Moissanite Jewellery Care
Moissanites are prized for their brilliance and fire, often outshining traditional diamonds. To keep them sparkling:
✔ Clean Regularly – Moissanites attract oil and dirt, which can dull their shine. Soak them in a solution of warm water and mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
✔ Avoid Harsh Chemicals – Do not expose Moissanite jewellery to bleach, chlorine, or harsh cleaning agents, as they can impact the setting.
✔ Polish with a Lint-Free Cloth – This helps maintain its breathtaking sparkle between cleanings.
Lab Diamond Jewellery Care
Lab Diamonds are identical in composition to natural diamonds and require similar care.
✔ Regular Cleaning – Mix warm water with a drop of dish soap, soak your diamond jewellery, and gently brush away any residue with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
✔ Avoid Heavy Buildup – Lotions, creams, and oils can create a film on diamonds, dulling their brilliance. Clean regularly for maximum sparkle.
✔ Professional Maintenance – If your diamond jewellery has a prong setting, have it checked occasionally to ensure the stone remains secure.
General Tips for All Bloomtine Jewellery
✨ Remove Before Physical Activities – Take off jewellery before exercising, swimming, or doing household chores to prevent damage.
✨ Avoid Direct Contact with Perfumes & Lotions – Apply these first, let them absorb, then wear your jewellery.
✨ Store in a Safe Place – Use a jewellery box with separate compartments or soft pouches to avoid scratches and tarnishing.
Bloomtine jewellery is designed to last a lifetime and beyond—but caring for it properly is key to preserving its beauty. By following these tips, your Gold Vermeil, Sterling Silver, 18K Gold, Moissanite, and Lab Diamond pieces will continue to shine, just like the moments they represent.
