FAQ

How should I clean my jewellery at home?

We recommend gently wiping your jewellery with a soft, lint-free polishing cloth after each wear. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water with a mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish and gemstones.

How should I store my jewellery?

Store each piece separately in its original NIMMISHA pouch or box to prevent scratching. Keep away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture. Adding an anti-tarnish tab to your storage pouch can help preserve brilliance.

Can I wear my jewellery in water?

We advise removing your jewellery before swimming, showering, or bathing. Water, chlorine, and salt can cause damage or accelerate tarnishing, especially with gold vermeil and delicate gemstones.

How do I care for gemstones like diamonds or pearls?

Each gemstone requires unique care:

  • Lab-grown diamonds and Topaz: Use a soft brush with warm water and mild soap for gentle cleaning.
  • Pearls: Wipe with a soft damp cloth after wear. Pearls are porous, so avoid water immersion, perfumes, or cosmetics directly on them.
  • Other gemstones (emeralds, lapis, quartz, etc.): Clean only with a soft cloth; avoid ultrasonic cleaners.

What can I do if my jewellery becomes tarnished?

Tarnishing is a natural process that can occur with precious metals such as sterling silver and gold vermeil over time. The good news is it can be easily restored. Gently polish your piece with the soft cloth provided in your NIMMISHA order to bring back its shine. For deeper care, use lukewarm water with a mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasives, as they may damage the finish or gemstones.

Does Nimmisha jewellery offer professional cleaning services?

We do not currently provide professional cleaning services. Each NIMMISHA order, however, includes a soft polishing cloth, protective pouch, and anti-tarnish tabs to help you care for your jewellery at home. With regular gentle cleaning and proper storage, your pieces will maintain their beauty for years to come.

How often should I have my jewellery inspected?

We recommend a professional inspection once a year to ensure clasps, settings, and gemstones remain secure.
