KBN Jewellery Journal

If your jewellery is tarnishing faster than expected, there may be a few hidden culprits—like humidity, skin pH levels, or everyday beauty products. At KBN Jewellery, we want your pieces to last, so we recommend proper storage, removing jewellery before applying lotions or sprays, and giving your pieces regular breaks from wear. Our handmade jewellery is crafted from high-quality materials like gold-fill and sterling silver, but even the best metals need a little TLC.

Need to clean sterling silver jewellery at home? Our KBN polish pad removes tarnish and restores shine to silver necklaces, rings, and bracelets. Use our easy cleaning steps to keep your silver looking as good as new.

Pearls are timeless, but did you know they naturally change over time? At KBN Jewellery, we use real pearls in our pieces, their delicate surface can lose shine or roughen if exposed to water, chemicals, or friction, but with simple care - like wiping them after wear and storing them separately - your pearls will stay radiant for years. Discover our pearl jewellery collection and learn how to protect their natural beauty.

Is it safe to wear jewellery in water? At KBN Jewellery, we design with gold-fill, sterling silver, and pearls, and each reacts differently when exposed to water. While an occasional splash won’t hurt gold-fill or silver, repeated exposure to saltwater or chlorine can dull their shine, and pearls should always stay dry. Our care tips and do’s and don’ts will help you keep your KBN jewellery looking radiant and long-lasting.

Birthstone and gemstone jewellery is beautiful and meaningful, so caring for it properly helps keep it looking its best. Different gemstones have unique properties, which means gentle cleaning, careful storage, and mindful everyday wear are important to help prevent scratches, dullness, or damage. Avoiding harsh chemicals and removing jewellery during activities where it may be knocked or placed under pressure can help protect the stones. With the right care, your birthstone jewellery can stay vibrant and treasured for years to come.
