Care for your Boho Betty Jewellery
Jewellery is meant to be worn, loved and lived in, but a little care goes a long way in keeping your favourite pieces looking their best. At Boho Betty, our collections are designed with real life in mind, from everyday staples to waterproof styles made for travel, sunshine and long summer days.
Because different materials behave differently, this guide breaks down exactly how to care for each type of jewellery in your collection, so you can wear with confidence and enjoy your pieces for years to come.
That said, with all jewellery, a little care never hurts. Rinsing after heavy exposure to salt or chlorine and giving pieces a gentle wipe now and then will help keep them looking their best.
PVD jewellery is built to last, but treating it with a bit of everyday consideration ensures it stays that way.
How to Care for Plated Jewellery
Plated jewellery is designed to offer beautiful, affordable jewellery that feels special while remaining accessible. These pieces are beautifully finished and benefit from mindful care to maintain their appearance.
With 12k gold or 925 Sterling Silver plate, applied over a brass base, time, natural wear and harsh chemicals can affect the finish, especially if exposed to moisture.
Care tips:
- - Remove before showering, bathing or swimming
- - Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions and sun creams
- - Store in a dry place away from humidity
- - Gently polish with a soft cloth after wearing
With proper care, plated pieces will retain their shine beautifully.
How to Care for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a classic. As a natural metal, it requires slightly different care but is easy to maintain with simple habits.
- - Sterling silver loves to be worn, leave your sterling silver pieces in your jewellery box and they may appear a little dull when you next go to wear them.
- - Any tarnishing can be easily removed with a polishing cloth and your piece will look as sparkling as the day you received it.
Caring for Natural Gemstone Jewellery
We use natural gemstones throughout many of our collections, chosen for their individuality, colour and natural beauty. These stones are designed for everyday wear and don’t require special routines or constant attention. With just a little care as part of normal daily habits, your gemstone jewellery will continue to look beautiful over time.
When not being worn, storing jewellery somewhere dry and giving it the occasional gentle wipe with a soft cloth is usually all that’s needed.
Natural gemstones are durable and made to be enjoyed as part of your everyday style, not saved for special occasions.
How to Care for Gold Vermeil Jewellery
Gold vermeil is a high-quality finish made by layering a thick coat of gold over sterling silver. It offers the look and feel of solid gold, with a little more durability than standard gold plating, making it a popular choice for everyday jewellery.
Caring for gold vermeil is simple and fits easily into normal daily routines.
We recommend putting jewellery on after perfume, lotions or sun cream, and removing pieces before showering or swimming. When not being worn, storing gold vermeil somewhere dry and giving it an occasional gentle wipe with a soft cloth will help maintain its warmth and shine.
How to Store Your Boho Betty Jewellery
Storing your jewellery thoughtfully helps keep it looking its best and makes everyday wear that little bit easier.
We recommend storing your pieces in a soft jewellery box or pouch when they’re not being worn. Keeping jewellery dry and away from direct sunlight or humid spaces helps preserve both metal finishes and gemstones over time.
