Product Care
At LYANG & CO., we craft each piece with care to be worn, loved, and lived in. To help your jewellery stay as beautiful as the day you received it, we’ve created this guide to ensure it lasts for many seasons to come.
Sterling Silver Jewellery
Sterling silver is known for its timeless beauty, soft glow, and wearability. While it's a durable metal, it can naturally oxidise and darken over time due to exposure to air, moisture, and skin oils.
How to Care for Sterling Silver Jewellery
- Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft polishing cloth or microfibre cloth after each wear to remove oils, sweat, and dirt.
- Remove them before applying perfume, hairspray, and other cosmetics, which may accelerate tarnishing.
- Wear them as often as possible! The more you wear your sterling silver pieces, the more they shine.
How to Store Sterling Silver Jewellery
- Store them in a dry, sealed pouch or jewellery box when not in use.
- Keep them away from direct sunlight, moisture, and air.
- If you don’t plan to wear them for an extended period, use anti-tarnish strips for extra protection.
With regular care, your sterling silver jewellery will continue to shine and age beautifully over time.
Gold-Plated Sterling Silver Jewellery
All our gold pieces are crafted from 925 sterling silver and plated with a fine layer of 18K or 14K gold. This combination offers a luxurious look with lightweight comfort. It’s important to note that the gold layer will naturally wear over time, showing the sterling silver beneath. If you're looking for a gold finish that never fades, solid gold is the best option.
How to Care for Gold-Plated Jewellery
While some wear is inevitable over time, the following tips can help extend the life of your gold-plated jewellery:
- Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft polishing cloth or microfibre cloth after each wear to remove oils, sweat, and dirt.
- Avoid contact with hard metals and rough surfaces
- Remove before exercising, gardening, swimming, or cleaning
- Keep away from perfumes, lotion, and harsh chemicals
- Avoid prolonged water exposure
How to Store Gold Plated Jewellery
Gold-plated jewellery benefits from thoughtful storage to preserve its delicate finish.
- Store your pieces separately in a dry, sealed pouch or a lined jewellery box to avoid friction and scratching
- Keep them away from direct sunlight, moisture, and air exposure
- If you won’t be wearing them for a while, consider adding anti-tarnish strips for extra protection
By treating your gold-plated pieces gently, you can help them stay radiant and beautiful for longer.
