Jewellery Care

YAA YAA LONDON Jewellery Care Advice

 To preserve the beauty and shine of your YAA YAA LONDON designer pieces, follow these simple jewellery cleaning and care steps. The designs and materials of your jewellery should be protected from the heat, the light, chemicals, and water as much as possible, both when you are wearing them or storing them for the next outing. 

Keep your jewellery away from water to avoid damaging the gemstones and materials. Take your jewellery off before you have a shower, bath or wash your hands. 

Keep your jewellery away from chemicals. Why? Chemicals can damage or discolour precious metals and may harm some coloured gems. Even everyday substances like hairspray, body lotion, perfume or other cosmetics can contain chemicals that will permanently damage the surface of delicate or porous gems (like turquoise). 

Take off your jewellery before using chlorinated swimming pools or before using household cleaners. Many of these cleaners contain ammonia, which can be too harsh for delicate gems and jewellery. Chlorine bleach and other common household solvents and cleaners can also damage gold alloys. 

Beware of the light

Gemstones can fade and will bleach under extreme exposure to light. Other gems can darken over time when exposed to too much light. Excessive heat and sudden temperature changes may also fracture some gems. Heat can also quickly remove the natural moisture that gems need to keep their beauty. 

Many gemstones are routinely treated to improve the appearance of colour and clarity. These treatments can be negatively affected by heat, solvents, steam and ultrasonic cleaners. Gemstones are susceptible to heat and temperature changes whether they are treated or not. 

• Gold and Rose Gold plating can wear off so we do not recommend wearing it continuously.
• Take your jewellery off before you exercise at the gym, style your hair with products, use cleansing toners on your face/body, hair removal creams, and avoid spraying perfume directly on to your jewellery and semi-precious stones. The plating will rub off more quickly where there is constant contact with skin. 

A local goldsmith or jeweller will be able to re-plate your jewels for you. To clean your YAA YAA LONDON jewellery easily while protecting it, we recommend Goddards Silver Cleaner.
