How to Care for Your Lucea Piece
Your jewellery was made by hand to be worn, lived in and loved. Like anything crafted with care, it will last beautifully when treated with intention.
Each Lucea piece is created in solid precious metal and designed to stay with you for years to come. A little attention will keep it glowing.
Wearing Your Jewellery
Fine jewellery is strong, but it is not indestructible.
Remove your piece before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. It is best to put your jewellery on after applying perfume, lotions or hairspray, and to take it off before cleaning or using household chemicals.
Everyday friction and moisture can slowly soften the finish over time. Putting your jewellery on should be the final step in getting ready.
Storing Your Piece
Store your jewellery separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches.
Sterling silver naturally oxidises when exposed to air. This is completely normal and not a flaw. Keeping it in a closed jewellery box will slow this process.
Cleaning Sterling Silver
Silver may darken slightly with time. This is part of its nature and can easily be refreshed.
Use a soft jewellery cloth for gentle polishing. For a deeper clean, wash your piece in warm water with a small amount of washing up liquid and gently clean with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Avoid harsh chemical dips, especially on textured or stone set pieces, as they can affect the surface finish.
Gold and Gold Details
Gold requires very little maintenance.
If needed, clean with warm water, a small amount of washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush. Rinse well and pat dry with a soft cloth.
Gemstones and Natural Materials
Many stones are durable, but some are naturally softer. Avoid dropping your jewellery onto hard surfaces and wear it with care.
Fine jewellery is made to be worn, but not for heavy impact.
Professional Care
If your piece ever needs polishing, resizing or a stone setting check, you are always welcome to get in touch. Jewellery is meant to be maintained and looked after.
A Final Note
Jewellery carries memory. It marks chapters of your life.
Over time, your piece may develop small signs of wear. This is not imperfection. It is evidence of living.
Wear it often. Care for it well. Let it become part of your story.
