THE CARE GUIDE
Because beautiful things are meant to be kept.
Jewellery becomes part of your everyday life — and with the right care, it can stay that way for years to come.
Here you’ll find simple guides to caring for your NOREH pieces, from everyday handling and storage to cleaning specific metals, finishes, diamonds and natural gemstones.
When in doubt, treat your jewellery gently.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR NOREH JEWELLERY
A few simple habits can help preserve the beauty of your jewellery.
Keep it away from chemicals.
Perfume, hairspray, lotions, sanitiser, chlorine and household chemicals can affect metals, plating and certain gemstones.
Put jewellery on last.
Make jewellery the final step of getting ready and the first thing you remove when you’re home.
Remove before bathing or swimming.
Water, chlorine, salt and soaps can contribute to tarnishing or affect certain finishes and gemstones.
Store pieces separately.
Keep individual pieces in their NOREH pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratches, tangling and unnecessary friction.
Handle with care.
Avoid pulling, bending or placing unnecessary pressure on delicate chains, settings and clasps.
Clean gently.
Use only the recommended cleaning method for the particular metal or gemstone.
925 STERLING SILVER CARE
Sterling silver naturally develops a patina over time when exposed to air, moisture and certain chemicals. This is a natural characteristic of silver — not a flaw.
To keep your NOREH sterling silver looking its best:
• Keep it dry when possible.
• Avoid perfumes, creams and chemicals coming into direct contact with the piece.
• Wipe gently with a soft jewellery cloth after wearing.
• Store in a dry, enclosed place when not in use.
• Avoid exposing it to chlorine and harsh cleaning products.
With regular care, the natural beauty and finish of your silver jewellery can be maintained.
VERMEIL & PLATED JEWELLERY CARE
Plated jewellery has a surface layer that can naturally change with wear and time. The rate at which this happens depends on factors such as frequency of wear, skin chemistry and exposure to moisture and chemicals.
To help preserve the finish:
• Avoid wearing while showering or swimming.
• Apply perfume, moisturiser and other products before putting your jewellery on.
• Avoid abrasive cloths and harsh cleaning agents.
• Store pieces individually.
• Remove jewellery during workouts and activities that cause excessive moisture or friction.
A little care goes a long way in preserving the finish.
DIAMOND CARE
Diamonds are exceptionally durable, but that doesn’t mean they are indestructible.
Regular exposure to lotions, oils and everyday products can create a film on the surface of a diamond, affecting its brilliance.
For everyday care:
• Remove jewellery during strenuous activities.
• Keep diamonds away from harsh chemicals.
• Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Have settings checked periodically to ensure stones remain secure.
• Store diamond pieces separately to avoid scratching other jewellery.
NATURAL GEMSTONE CARE
Natural gemstones are formed by nature, and each one has its own characteristics.
Some gemstones are more sensitive to heat, chemicals, sudden temperature changes or prolonged exposure to sunlight than others. For this reason, care should always be considered according to the specific gemstone.
When caring for gemstone jewellery:
• Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Avoid unnecessary exposure to heat.
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners unless specifically advised.
• Store pieces separately.
• Clean gently using the method recommended for that particular stone.
