As all our jewellery is gold, therefore it is fine to get wet. We do not however, recommend exposing jewellery to extreme changes in temperature, salt water, perfume or chlorine. We would also recommend removing certain items which could get caught while you are sleeping in order to avoid pulling at the more delicate elements. Opals are a more delicate stone therefore be  careful to avoid harsh chemicals, drastic temperature changes and hitting or banging them as this may cause them to crack We recommend taking your jewellery to be professionally cleaned at your local jewellers once a year to maintain pieces. If pieces are looking a little dull it is possible to clean them at home. Add a few drops of washing up liquid to lukewarm water. Soak pieces in for 10 minutes to loosen any dirt. Gently rub over pieces with a soft toothbrush to remove any dirt. Rinse thoroughly to make sure all soap is removed. Dry and polish with a lint free cloth. Pro-tip focus on the hard to reach areas as this is where quite often dirt builds up.
