What are the top tips for keeping my jewellery looking its best?
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Keep your jewellery away from household cleaners, chlorine, and even strong soaps, as these can dull metals and damage delicate stones.

• Remove for activities: Take off your jewellery before swimming, exercising, gardening, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes to protect it from damage and residue buildup.
Is there anything unique about caring for Victoria Anne's pre-loved jewellery?
All our jewellery is pre-loved, carrying its own unique history and character. The most important thing is to continue to treasure it and care for it, and it will hopefully last a lifetime, becoming a cherished part of your own story.
How often should I clean my jewellery?
Regular, gentle cleaning after each wear helps maintain its shine. For deeper cleans, aim for monthly or as needed, using appropriate methods like a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soapy water for most gold and silver pieces.
Can I wear my jewellery every day?
While many pieces are designed for daily wear, it's wise to consider the activity. For very delicate items or those with soft gemstones, it's best to reserve them for special occasions to minimise wear and tear and ensure their longevity.
