Caring for Your Minimalist Jewellery: A Guide to Maintaining Pietra Collection Pieces

Purchasing jewellery from the Pietra Collection at Kicky & Perky is an investment in beauty and elegance. But like all fine jewellery, these delicate pieces require proper care to maintain their brilliance and longevity. In this guide, we'll explore the best practices for caring for your Pietra Collection jewellery, ensuring that the gemstones and metalwork stay in pristine condition for years to come.

Why Proper Care Matters:


Jewellery care is often overlooked, but it plays a crucial role in maintaining the look and value of your pieces. The colour stones used in the Pietra Collection are natural gems, and like all natural materials, they can wear over time without proper care. Additionally, minimalist designs, while durable, can still be vulnerable to scratches or tarnishing if not treated carefully. By following a few simple maintenance tips, you can preserve the beauty and luster of your Pietra jewellery and make sure it continues to sparkle.


General Care Tips for Gemstones:


Every gemstone has its unique properties, and each stone in the Pietra Collection requires special care. Here are some general tips for keeping your gemstones in top shape:

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Chemicals found in household cleaners, perfumes, and lotions can damage the surface of colour stones. Always remove your jewellery before cleaning or applying lotions and sprays.
  • Store Separately: Gemstones can easily scratch one another when stored together. Keep each Pietra piece in its own soft pouch or lined jewellery box to avoid scratches.
  • Regular Cleaning: Gently clean your gemstone jewellery using a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, you can use a mild soap solution, but avoid submerging your pieces for long periods.

Specific Care for Colour Stones in Pietra Collection:

Amethyst:

 Amethyst is relatively durable but can fade when exposed to prolonged sunlight. Store your amethyst jewellery away from direct light and avoid wearing it in the sun for long periods.

Garnet:

Garnets are strong but can still chip if handled roughly. Be mindful of knocks or impacts that could cause damage.

Citrine:

This stone is relatively softer and can be prone to damage from everyday wear. Clean citrine jewelry gently with a soft cloth and avoid contact with abrasive materials to maintain its shine and durability.

Maintaining Minimalist Metalwork:

The Pietra Collection not only features beautiful stones but also showcases elegant, minimalist metalwork. Whether it’s gold, silver, or rhodium-plated, the metals in your Pietra jewellery need regular attention:

  • Avoid Water Exposure: Even though most metals are treated to resist tarnishing, repeated exposure to water can weaken the plating. Remove your jewellery before swimming or showering.
  • Polish Regularly: Use a soft jewellery polishing cloth to keep your metal pieces shiny. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
  • Protect Plating: If your Pietra jewellery is gold-plated or rhodium-plated, take extra care to avoid abrasive surfaces that could wear away the plating over time.

Travel Care:

When traveling with your Pietra jewellery, it’s important to take extra precautions to avoid damage. Use a travel case that has separate compartments for each piece to avoid scratches or tangling. If you’re flying, keep your jewellery in your carry-on to avoid any risk of damage or loss in checked luggage.

Storing Pietra Collection Jewellery:

Proper storage is essential to maintaining your jewellery’s integrity. Here are a few tips for safely storing your Pietra pieces:

  • Use Soft Pouches: Soft cloth pouches are ideal for keeping your jewellery scratch-free and safe from dust.
  • Avoid Humidity: Moisture can tarnish metals and dull gemstones. Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container.
  • Use Anti-Tarnish Strips: Placing anti-tarnish strips in your jewellery box can help prevent oxidation and keep your metal pieces looking new.

Repairing and Restoring Pietra Pieces:

If your jewellery gets damaged, it’s important to have it professionally repaired to avoid further wear. Kicky & Perky offers repair services for its Pietra Collection, where experts can assess the condition of your piece and restore it to its original state.

Caring for your Pietra Collection jewellery doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does require attention to detail. By following these care guidelines, you can ensure that your minimalist colour stone jewellery remains as stunning as the day you bought it. At Kicky & Perky, we believe that jewellery should not only be beautiful but also long-lasting, and with the right care, your Pietra pieces will continue to sparkle for years to come.
