Absolutely. Before you clean your jewellery pieces, it's important to understand what materials they're made of. There are different protocols for cleaning diamonds, pearls, metals and other stones. Examine your jewellery carefully and make a note of the stones or metals. Often, when purchasing a new piece of jewellery, you'll find care instructions inside. This way, you'll know what to do when you need to clean your pieces. When in doubt, contact your local Pandora store and one of our staff members will gladly assist you. They can help you identify the different types of jewellery you own and suggest products to add to your cleaning kit.

Yes, you can. Overcleaning your jewellery can chip stones, darken metals and weaken demi-fine necklaces. Unless your jewellery is dirty, you don't need to clean it more than once or twice a month. In many cases, you can wait even longer to clean your jewellery. To protect your jewellery from tarnishing and discolouration, put it on after you apply makeup, perfume and skincare products. Take off all of your jewellery before showering, bathing, playing sports or swimming and make sure to remove your rings while cooking and washing your hands. Keep your favourite pieces on rotation to prolong the lifespan of your jewellery.

You can easily clean your jewellery at home with a few simple ingredients. Add warm (not hot) water and a mild dish detergent to a bowl lined with aluminium foil. Let your jewellery sit in this mixture for 10 minutes. Remove your jewellery and gently scrub with an old toothbrush. Rinse and pat dry with a paper towel. Do this frequently for best results. Remember to never use harsh abrasives when cleaning your jewellery, since they may cause damage.

Make sure you store different metals individually and keep your jewellery in pouches or boxes with inserts, so the chains don't get tangled. If in doubt, the Pandora jewellery box is the perfect home for all of your favourites.
