Jewellery Care Guide
Keep your Prete pieces looking beautiful for years to come.
General Care Instructions
Our jewellery is crafted with care using high-quality materials. To ensure the longevity of your pieces, please follow these general guidelines:
- Keep it dry: Remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing, or engaging in strenuous physical activities. Moisture can cause tarnishing and damage plating.
- Avoid chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and household cleaners can contain harsh chemicals that dull or damage your jewellery. Apply these products before putting on your pieces.
- Store properly: When not wearing your jewellery, store it in the provided Prete pouch or a soft-lined box. Keep pieces separate to prevent scratching and tangling.
- Clean gently: Wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemical cleaners.
Caring for Specific Materials
Anti-Tarnish (316L Stainless Steel)
Our anti-tarnish pieces are made to hold their shine with everyday wear. Rinse off sweat or salt water with plain water, pat dry with a soft cloth and store each piece separately so stones and plating don't scratch.
Gold-Plated Jewellery
Gold plating is a layer of gold applied over a base metal. With regular wear, this plating can gradually fade. To prolong the life of the plating, avoid excessive rubbing, moisture, and chemical exposure. Clean gently with a soft cloth only.
Kundan and Polki
These traditional pieces are delicate and should be handled with extra care. Avoid dropping or knocking them, as the stones can dislodge or chip. Never submerge Kundan or Polki jewellery in water or cleaning solutions. Wipe gently with a dry cotton cloth.
