Caring for Your Bespoke Jewellery – The Ryley Approach

Every piece from Ryley Jewellery Creations is designed to be cherished for a lifetime and beyond. To preserve its beauty and meaning, a little mindful care goes a long way. Our approach to aftercare is as considered and personal as our craftsmanship.

Gentle Cleaning, Enduring Beauty

We recommend using a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish your jewellery after each wear. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and warm water solution works wonders—just be sure to dry thoroughly and avoid harsh chemicals that can dull precious metals and gemstones. For pieces with intricate details or delicate settings, bring them into our atelier for a professional clean and inspection.

Storing with Intention

Jewellery deserves a safe, beautiful home. Store each piece separately in a fabric-lined box or pouch to prevent scratches and tangling. If you have multiple pieces, consider a jewellery organiser with individual compartments. Keep your jewellery away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperatures to maintain its lustre and integrity. For heirloom or rarely worn pieces, a periodic check ensures clasps and settings remain secure over time.

Wearing with Care

We encourage clients to remove their jewellery before swimming, exercising, or using household cleaners. Even the most durable designs benefit from gentle handling—this preserves both their physical beauty and their emotional significance. Apply lotions, perfumes, and sprays before putting on your jewellery to minimise residue build-up.

Regular Professional Checks

Our atelier offers complimentary clean, polish, and integrity checks. We encourage clients to visit annually so our artisans can inspect settings, clasps, and stones, ensuring your piece remains secure and radiant. For engagement rings and daily-wear pieces, a six-monthly check is ideal. Our team can also advise on minor repairs or adjustments to keep your jewellery in perfect condition.

Restoring Sentimental Pieces

Over time, even the most cherished jewellery can show signs of wear. At Ryley, we specialise in gentle restoration—whether it’s tightening a setting, replacing a lost stone, or refreshing the finish. Our goal is always to preserve the original character and meaning of your piece while ensuring it’s ready for many more years of enjoyment.

A Lifetime Relationship

We see every creation as the beginning of a lasting relationship. If you ever have questions about care or maintenance, our team is here to guide you—because true luxury is supported by ongoing service and expertise. We are honoured to be part of your story, from the moment your piece is created to every milestone it celebrates.
