Keep your sparkle shining

Welcome to the Sugar Rush Jewellery care guide! We want your pieces to stay dazzling for as long as possible. Read on for our top tips on keeping your jewellery looking its best.

The golden rule

Although our jewellery is water, sweat, and tarnish resistant, a quick rinse and gentle dry after heavy wear will help maintain its shine for even longer.

Avoid harsh chemicals

Exposure to harsh chemicals and products is the most common way people accidentally damage their Sugar Rush Jewellery. Even water-resistant jewellery can be affected over time by:

  • Perfume and body sprays
  • Lotions, sunscreens, and self-tanner
  • Cleaning products and chemicals
  • Chlorine from pools and hot tubs

These don’t usually cause instant damage, but build-up over time can dull the shine or weaken the finish.

Care differs for each type

Caring for silver, gold and beaded jewellery requires slightly different approaches:

Silver Jewellery

  • Naturally reacts with air and moisture, which can cause tarnishing over time
  • Benefits from gentle cleaning and being dried after wear
  • Tarnish is normal and removable, but prevention helps

Gold & Gold-Plated Jewellery

  • Solid gold is very low-maintenance
  • Gold-plated pieces need gentler care to protect the outer layer
  • Avoid heavy friction and harsh chemicals to maintain the finish

Beaded Jewellery

  • Beads (especially natural stones or glass) can be sensitive to water and chemicals
  • Moisture can weaken stringing or dull finishes
  • Best kept dry and handled gently

Simple at-home care

Here are some simple things you can do at home to keep your jewellery looking its best:

  • Rinse & gently dry after heavy wear: After workouts, swimming, or using products, a quick rinse with water and a soft dry helps remove residue.
  • Apply products first, jewellery last: Perfume, lotion, sunscreen, and hairspray should go on before jewellery.
  • Store pieces separately: Keep jewellery in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratching and tangling.
  • Wipe with a soft cloth regularly: A gentle wipe removes oils and keeps shine intact.
  • Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals: Mild soap and water is enough — no abrasives needed.
