For silver jewellery
The Lingon Design jewellery is made with love for you and the nature. We want to help you keep your jewellery as beautiful as the day you bought it.
Inside your jewellery box, you'll discover a convenient zip-lock pouch and a gentle polishing cloth for silver. The cloth is impregnated with a finely divided polish.
Please read through our care instructions below.
Silver naturally reacts with elements like hydrogen sulphide and oxygen found in the air, clothes, lotions and chemicals, leading to tarnishing over time. Here is what you can do yourself to maintain the luster of your jewellery:
Cleaning
Regularly clean your jewellery using warm water and diluted hand dishwashing detergent. Gently clean the piece, including the chain, with a soft toothbrush or cotton swab. Afterwards, dry the piece with a cotton swab for a scratch-free finish. Please avoid cotton fabric or paper towels, as they may cause scratching (but suitable for drying chains, as they do not get scratched).
Storing
Always store your jewellery in the provided zip-lock pouch to protect it from scratches, moisture, and air. Squeeze out the overflow air and seal it tightly. Avoid storing your jewellery in humid environments, such as bathrooms.
Polishing
After cleaning as mentioned above, use the provided polishing cloth to gently remove discolouration and restore the shine. The cloth is impregnated with a very finely divided polish.
Please avoid wearing your jewellery when:
- Sleeping
- Showering, sauna sessions, or swimming in saltwater or chlorinated water
- Engaging in activities like gardening, exercising or housekeeping
Additional tips:
- Apply lotion, hairspray, spray deodorant and perfume before putting on your jewellery
- Regularly check the clasp to ensure it's secure
- Keep in mind that freshly polished and professionally treated jewellery has a unique sparkle that can be challenging to recreate at home. You can always send your piece to Lingon Design for maintenance and polishing, restoring it to its original beauty. ✨
For gold-plated jewellery, such as the Eternal Lingon pieces
The Lingon Design jewellery is made with love for you and the nature. We want to help you keep your jewellery as beautiful as the day you bought it.
Inside your jewellery box, you'll discover a convenient zip-lock pouch and a gentle polishing cloth for gold.
Over time the gold-plated jewellery can lose its shine and become slightly tarnished. This can happen when the gold reacts with moisture and air leading it to oxidize. Luckily, there are many ways to take care of your jewellery:
Cleaning
Regularly clean your jewellery using warm water and diluted hand dishwashing detergent. Gently clean the piece, including the chain, with a soft toothbrush or cotton swab. Afterwards, dry the piece with a cotton swab for a scratch-free finish. Please avoid cotton fabric or paper towels, as they may cause scratching (but suitable for drying chains, as they do not get scratched).
Storing
Always store your jewellery in the provided zip-lock pouch to protect it from scratches, moisture, and air. Squeeze out the overflow air and seal it tightly. Avoid storing your jewellery in humid environments, such as bathrooms.
Polishing
- Sleeping
- Showering, sauna sessions, or swimming in saltwater or chlorinated water
- Engaging in activities like gardening, exercising or housekeeping
Additional tips:
- Apply lotion, hairspray, spray deodorant and perfume before putting on your jewellery
- Regularly check the clasp to ensure it's secure
- Keep in mind that freshly polished and professionally treated jewellery has a unique sparkle that can be challenging to recreate at home.
- The gold plating on the jewellery unfortunately wears out over time and the silver underneath will eventually appear.
- You can always send your piece to Lingon Design for maintenance and polishing, restoring it to its original beauty. ✨
Caring for Your Pearls
To keep your pearls glowing, follow these tips:
- Last on, first off: Apply perfumes, lotions, or hairspray before wearing pearls to avoid damage to their surface.
- Avoid moisture: Remove your pearls before showering, swimming, or exercising, as water and sweat can harm them.
- Wear often: Pearls thrive on natural skin oils, which help maintain their moisture and luster.
- Store safely: Pearls should be stored in their silk pouch (included with your Pearly jewelry) to prevent scratches. Pearls love real silk, and it helps protect them from damage.
- Clean gently: After wearing, wipe pearls with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove oils and dirt.
