Care and Repairs

How to take good care of a jewellery piece:

• Silver should not be subjected to excessive force when putting it on, wearing or removing it (including catching the item on clothing).
• It’s recommended to remove jewellery before exercising, showering, swimming, bathing, sleeping, gardening etc. to prolong its longevity, especially plated jewellery, pearls and semi-precious stones.  The items will lose their colour and luster.
• Minimize the risk of your jewellery coming into contact with perfumes, lotions and chemical cleaning agents, as these will cause it to dull or blacken. Silver will naturally oxidize over time, but can be cleaned using hot water and soft cloth.
• Pearls loose their luster over time if it comes in contact with perfumes and chemicals.

Re-string pearls regularly.

You  can use the jewellery cleaning dip available on Barbara’s website.

We will repair  items purchased from Barbara Jewellery items for free within 4 weeks of purchase (proof of purchase required).    If the item cannot be repaired we will inform you accordingly.  We are not liable for any stones/pearls that get lost.

Any other repairs to jewellery can be done and will be charged for accordingly.  You can contact us via email for a quotation with a picture of the jewellery piece.
