JEWELLERY CARE – Balouri

All Balouri jewellery is thoughtfully designed and expertly crafted by skilled artisans using high-quality, long-lasting materials. Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your jewellery.

BRASS BASED JEWELLERY

  • Brass jewellery may naturally tarnish over time — this is a normal process and not a product defect

  • Brass items are not resistant to water, moisture, or sweat

  • Handle with care to maintain their appearance

STAINLESS STEEL JEWELLERY

Stainless steel is a steel alloy containing:

  • Minimum 10.5% chromium

  • Maximum 1.2% carbon

Why We Use Stainless Steel

  • Naturally resistant to tarnishing and rusting

  • Strong, durable, and long-lasting

  • This is why stainless steel is one of the most commonly used materials in our collections

Care Notes

  • Water resistant, but avoid chemicals (perfumes, cleaners, lotions) to maintain shine

  • Stainless steel has a slightly darker tone compared to sterling silver

  • For longer-lasting jewellery, we recommend choosing stainless steel products

STERLING SILVER JEWELLERY

Silver is one of the most well-known precious metals, along with gold.

  • Silver has a soft structure, which makes pure silver difficult to shape

  • To improve durability, silver is mixed with other metals such as copper

What is 925 Sterling Silver?

  • 92.5% pure silver

  • 7.5% copper

Sterling silver is a precious and delicate material and requires extra care.

Storage Tips

  • Store silver jewellery in a closed box, away from light

  • Prolonged exposure to air, moisture, and sunlight can cause tarnishing over time

TIPS FOR LONGER-LASTING JEWELLERY

Gold-plated and silver-plated jewellery may naturally tarnish over time. To slow this process and keep your Balouri jewellery looking new:

  • Keep away from soaps, perfumes, and chemicals

  • Clean gently using a soft cloth

  • Store jewellery in a dry place

  • Remove jewellery while:

    • Sleeping

    • Showering

    • Swimming (pool or sea)

  • Always remember:
    Jewellery should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off
