JEWELLERY CARE GUIDE

When your CASPER LAND jewellery is not in use, it's important to store your pieces separately in a dry, cool, humidity-free environment and out of direct sunlight. This will prevent the oxidisation process that can happen on the surface of silver jewellery (commonly seen as a black, pink or orange build-up) and prevent your gold-plated pieces from fading.

Remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, cleaning, exercising and sleeping.

Avoid contact with cleaning products, perfumes, lotions, hand sanitisers, chlorine & salt water, as these can damage and tarnish jewellery items. 

HOW TO: CLEAN STERLING SILVER JEWELLERY

For sterling silver lovers + collectors, we recommend investing in a professional cleaning cloth (Amazon, TownTalk and Goddards have many great options), or following the below method for a deeper clean:


Step 1: Line A Small Bowl with Foil

Line a small bowl with aluminium foil—shiny side up.
This is what helps create the chemical reaction that lifts the tarnish.


Step 2: Add Bicarb Soda

Pour in enough bicarbonate soda to fully cover your jewellery.


Step 3: Pour Over Boiling Water

Carefully pour boiling water into the bowl, small amounts at a time. Watch it fizz! This is working to loosen any grime and tarnish build-up.


Step 5: Let It Sit & Stir Occasionally

Let the piece soak for around 5 minutes, using a spoon to stir now and then while keeping the bicarb covering the item. Then, continue to let it sit for at least another 10 minutes.


Step 6: Rub the Tarnish Away

The bicarb/water mix alone is usually enough to pull tarnish off of silver, but for stubborn spots you can scoop some of the bicarb paste from the bowl and rub it into any areas with more tarnish - your fingers or sponge do the job perfectly. At this point you should see the original silver colour return!


Step 7: Rinse & Dry Thoroughly

Rinse your piece under lukewarm water and pat it completely dry with a soft towel. 
Moisture = tarnish’s best friend, so be sure to reeeally dry it! 


Step 8: Polish to Finish

For a shiny finish, you can further buff the piece using a polishing cloth.

HOW TO: CLEAN GOLD PLATED JEWELLERY

Extra care is needed when cleaning gold-plated jewellery items, as their surface can be faded or damaged with traditional cleaning methods.

We recommend gently polishing these styles with a jewellery cloth, taking care to not wet them as this can fade or damage the plating seal. A cotton ear-bud or soft, dry toothbrush can be used to clean between grooves and small details.

HANDBAG CARE GUIDE

We suggest caring for your handbag by following these instructions:

- Avoid rough surfaces and water as much as possible. We recommend when your piece is not in use that you store it inside it's dust bag, stuffed to maintain it's shape, and out of direct sunlight for colour protection.

- For leathers, spot cleaning using baby wipes is a great way to clean off superficial marks and dirt!

- For nubuck or suede pieces, first, brush away surface dirt with a clean suede brush or a clean toothbrush. Baby wipes can also be used on dirt marks if needed, however avoid scrubbing and overly wetting the fabric as this can damage the surface of the material or strip the colour.

- We recommend caution when wearing light-coloured bags against darker clothing (such as dark denim or black garments) as the dye from your clothing may transfer onto your bag.
