Use Jewellery Polishing Cloths For Best Results

It's always best to regularly polish your silver jewellery or gold jewellery with the correct polishing cloth. Although it may not be visible immediately, paper towels and tissue can cause scratches because of the fibres in these products. Therefore, cloths made specifically for jewellery are the best way to maintain the sparkle in your Shiels pieces.

Clean Your Jewellery With Care

Be careful when cleaning your own jewellery and always ensure you use the appropriate products. You can either purchase special jewellery cleaners from Shiels, or make a simple cleaning solution yourself. Whatever you decide, seek advice from a jewellery expert first.

Avoid Cleaning Damaged Jewellery

Never clean any jewellery that is damaged, cracked or broken, because the additional handling will worsen the problem. If you find that a piece of jewellery is damaged, it should be set aside for repair as soon as possible.

Inspect Your Jewellery Regularly

When having your jewellery professionally cleaned, it's a good idea to have each item checked and inspected for any possible problems. Addressing signs of damage, or loose gemstones will prevent any further damage or loss, keeping all of your pieces in excellent shape for years.

How To Take Care Of A Watch

It doesn't matter if you're looking to maintain a new watch or you're looking to take care of an old one, use our handy tips below to understand all you need to know about watch care and warranty. In order to serve you better, we have assembled the most common watch care issues.

Watch Cleaning

A soft, lint-free cloth can be used to remove stains and water sports on the case, glass and band of your watch. This action can be completed every day to keep your watch in top condition. Every few months, you should also consider performing a deep clean of your watch. Over time, oil and dirt can accumulate in the links and the bracelet. This is why it's important to remove the bracelet from your watch and thoroughly clean it with warm water. Make sure that your watch is completely dry before you reassemble it.
