Jewellery Care

Hi, I’m Dimple! Every piece from Sun Moon Jewellery is chosen and curated with love — trendy, elegant and made for everyday wear. Because these pieces are crafted to be affordable and beautiful rather than made of solid precious metal, they need a slightly different kind of care than fine jewellery. Follow this simple guide and your favourites will keep their shine, colour and charm for a long, long time. ✨

General Care — All Jewellery

A few habits that protect every single piece in your collection, no matter the style.

✓  DO ✗  DON’T
Put your jewellery on last, after perfume, deodorant, hairspray and makeup Don’t spray perfume or hairspray directly onto jewellery
Wipe pieces gently with a soft, dry cloth after every wear Don’t let pieces rub against each other loose in one box
Store each piece separately in a pouch, ziplock, or the box it came in Don’t wear jewellery while washing dishes, showering or swimming
Take jewellery off before sleeping, bathing, swimming or exercising Don’t leave pieces lying around in the open or in a damp bathroom
Keep pieces away from direct sunlight and humidity Don’t sleep or work out wearing your jewellery

Imitation / Artificial Jewellery

Our statement earrings, kundan, pearl and stone-studded pieces are plated for that rich, festive look. Gentle handling keeps the plating and stones intact.

✓  DO ✗  DON’T
Clean with a soft, dry or barely damp cotton cloth only Don’t use water, soap, alcohol or jewellery cleaning liquids on plated pieces
Store flat or hanging so stones and pearls don’t press against each other Don’t rub with tissue or harsh cloth — it can dull the polish
Remove before hugging fabric-heavy outfits, dupattas or shawls that can snag stones Don’t expose to sweat for long periods, especially in humid weather
Keep in a fabric pouch or lined box to avoid scratches Don’t pull or tug at earchains, tassels or hanging stones

Oxidised Silver Jewellery

The beauty of oxidised silver is in its antique, blackened finish — the deliberate contrast is what gives our oxidised earrings and necklaces their character. A little extra care keeps that finish looking intentional, not tarnished.

✓  DO ✗  DON’T
Store in an airtight ziplock or pouch to slow down natural tarnishing Don’t use silver polish, toothpaste or baking soda — these strip the oxidised black finish
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off dust and skin oils after wearing Don’t wear in the pool, sea, or while sweating heavily
Let a light natural darkening happen — it’s part of the oxidised look Don’t store in the open where it will darken unevenly or attract dust
Keep silica gel sachets in your jewellery box to control moisture Don’t scrub the blackened areas — that’s the design, not dirt

Handmade Jewellery

Our handmade and heritage necklaces are often made with threads, beads, fabric, dhaga or hand-set elements. These need care that protects the materials as much as the finish.

✓  DO ✗  DON’T
Hang thread/dhaga necklaces or store flat so threads don’t stretch Don’t yank or pull the piece on/off over your head — unclasp it instead
Check knots and closures occasionally and re-tighten gently if loose Don’t soak threads, beads or fabric elements in water
Keep away from direct heat, ironing areas and heaters Don’t fold or crush pieces with delicate beadwork under other items
Let pieces air out for a few hours after wear before storing Don’t store in plastic bags for long periods — natural fibres need to breathe

Smart Storage Tips

Turn one drawer, box or hanging organiser into a little jewellery home:

  • Line your jewellery box with soft fabric to prevent scratches
  • Use separate compartments or pouches for earrings, necklaces and rings
  • Hang long necklaces to prevent tangling and thread stress
  • Keep your jewellery box away from windows, bathrooms and direct AC vents
  • Travelling? Wrap each piece individually in tissue before packing

A Little Reminder From Dimple

Imitation, oxidised and handmade jewellery is made to look rich and last long when it’s loved a little gently — it isn’t meant for water, sweat or rough daily wear the way solid gold or silver is. With just these small habits, your Sun Moon pieces will stay as beautiful as the day they arrived. 🌙✨
