Jewellery Care

Every EZELE piece is built to be worn. A little care keeps it looking the way it did the day it arrived.

The basics — every piece

• Put it on last, take it off first. Perfume, hairspray, moisturiser and sunscreen are the most common causes of dulling. Let them dry before your jewellery goes on, and take it off before bed.
• Keep it away from water and chemicals. Remove before showering, swimming or cleaning. Avoid chlorine, saltwater, bleach, ammonia, hand sanitiser and harsh detergents.
• Take it off for sport. Sweat and the acids in it work against every material we use.
• Wipe after every wear. A soft, dry, lint-free or microfibre cloth removes skin oils, sweat and dust.
• Handle it by the edges. Finger oils dull polished surfaces and stones.
• Store each piece separately in its own EZELE box or a soft pouch. Stones and metal scratch each other when stored loose together.
• Keep it somewhere cool and dry. Bathrooms are the worst place to store jewellery.

316L steel and 18K gold PVD

Gemstone Tach · Sultana Cuff · Yeshil Tach · Ruya of Elmas · the gold motif on Wrap Soudage

316L stainless steel does not tarnish, so there is nothing to polish away. The gold is applied by PVD, which bonds it to the metal rather than laying it on top — it is considerably more durable than conventional plating, but it is still a surface finish.

• Never use a silver polishing cloth on these pieces. Polishing cloths are mildly abrasive and will wear through PVD gold.
• No ultrasonic cleaners, no abrasive pastes, no metal polish.
• A soft dry cloth after wear is all that is needed. For anything more, warm water and a drop of mild soap on a soft cloth, then dry immediately.
• Dry thoroughly. Never let a piece air-dry.

Natural stones

Tiger eye · Lapis lazuli · Picasso jasper · Black onyx

These are porous natural materials, and each stone is marked differently. That variation is the material, not a flaw in it.

• Never soak them. Water works into the stone and can lift the finish or loosen the setting.
• No oils, no solvents, no ultrasonic cleaning.
• Wipe with a barely damp cloth if needed, then dry at once.

Leather

Wrap Soudage

• Keep the strap dry. If it does get wet, let it air-dry away from direct heat — never a radiator or hairdryer.
• Avoid leather conditioners and oils, which can migrate onto the gold motif.
• Store flat or loosely coiled rather than folded.

Coming with our new collection

Silver behaves differently from steel: it tarnishes, and that is normal rather than a defect. Tarnish is easily reversed.

• Wear it regularly. Regular wear slows tarnishing — the gentle friction keeps the surface bright.
• Clean with mild soap. Warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Soak for 10–15 minutes, work gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
• Dry completely and immediately. Never let silver air-dry — it leaves water spots and accelerates tarnish.
• Use a silver polishing cloth for light tarnish. Choose a non-abrasive one, and go easy on oxidised or antique finishes, where the darkening is part of the design.
• Store airtight. A sealed pouch, anti-tarnish bag or airtight box. Anti-tarnish strips or a silica gel packet help absorb moisture.
• Avoid rubber, wool and latex. Rubber contains sulfur, which tarnishes silver quickly. Some leathers do the same.

Note: the guidance above is for solid sterling silver. If a silver piece is plated, treat it as PVD gold instead — no polishing cloth, no ultrasonic cleaner.

Check your settings

Every few months, look over the clasps, links and stone settings — particularly on stone-set pieces. Catching a loose setting early is the difference between a quick fix and a lost stone.

For heavy tarnish on silver, or anything that needs more than a wipe, professional cleaning is the safer route. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners on anything plated, glue-set or delicate.
