Jewellery Care Guide

Made to last. Cared for to glow.

To keep your By Lucia pieces looking the way they did on day one — here's how to care for each material, simply and beautifully.

By material

Four materials, four care routines.

Silver

925 Sterling Silver

Pure sterling silver. Bright, weighty, and built to be lived in — softens beautifully over time.

How to care

  • Store in your By Lucia pouch or an airtight bag to slow tarnish
  • Keep away from perfumes, lotions, chlorine, and harsh chemicals
  • Polish with a silver cloth when it starts to dull — comes right back

Tarnish is part of silver's story — and easy to undo with a quick polish.

Heirloom

9k Solid Gold

Solid gold throughout. Doesn't tarnish. Made to live with you, always.

How to care

  • Wear it all day, every day — even in water
  • Clean occasionally with warm soapy water and a soft brush
  • For extra shine, a professional polish is always lovely

An heirloom piece — built to be passed on, not packed away.

Vermeil

18k Gold Vermeil on 925 Sterling Silver

A thick layer of 18k gold over pure sterling silver. Luminous and elegant.

How to care

  • Store in a dry spot — ideally your By Lucia pouch or box
  • Avoid perfumes, lotions, chlorine, or harsh chemicals
  • Polish gently with a silver or soft cloth to restore shine

Sterling silver may naturally tarnish over time. Gentle care keeps the glow.

Waterproof

18k Gold Vermeil on Stainless Steel

A layer of 18k gold over durable stainless steel. Waterproof, sweatproof, tarnish-resistant.

How to care

  • Wear it everywhere — shower, gym, ocean, all good
  • Avoid abrasive surfaces to protect the gold finish
  • Wipe with a soft cloth after wear to remove sweat or sunscreen

Made for life lived in — no special routine required.

For every piece

Four small habits. One long-lived collection.

A handful of rituals that apply to every By Lucia piece, no matter the material. Make them part of how you get ready, and your jewellery will thank you for years.

  • Put your jewellery on after skincare, perfume, and hair products
  • Store each piece separately so they don't scratch each other
  • Remove dirt, sweat, or product build-up regularly with a soft cloth
  • Keep your jewellery dry — our pouches and boxes are perfect for storage
