A kit for keeping, not selling

The Care Shelf

Clean·Store·Greener where we can

The pieces that keep a piece alive — to clean it without ruining it, and store it so it lasts. Chosen against the same guidance as the care & Mohs guide, and sourced on Amazon.

Greener choice6 of 10 picks

The badge marks one recorded attribute, such as a plant-based biodegradable formula, reusable cotton, or solid natural wood. It is not a whole-product environmental score. Where the sourcing record does not support a narrower claim, the item stays unbadged even when it remains useful for the care task.

01

Clean it

  • All-Natural Jewellery Cleaner

    SolutionGreener choice· Plant-based · biodegradable

    Ammonia-free — still skip pearls, opals, coral and amber

    The everyday soak-and-rinse the guide calls for: a plant-based formula listed as biodegradable and made without ammonia or alcohol.

  • Cotton-Lined Polishing Cloth

    ClothGreener choice· 100% cotton inner layer

    The wipe that brings the shine back on gold, silver and platinum: a reusable two-layer cloth with a 100%-cotton inner layer and a separate polishing outer layer.

  • Wood-Handle Cleaning Brush

    BrushGreener choice· Beech-wood handle · horsehair

    The soft brush the guide leans on, worked gently behind the stone where grime collects, with a beech-wood handle and horsehair bristles.

  • Gentle Tarnish-Remover Cream

    Polish

    For silver that's gone grey — a gentle, non-abrasive cream to bring it back: apply, rinse and buff dry rather than soak.

  • Ultrasonic Cleaner

    Device

    Hard untreated stones only — never pearl, opal, emerald, turquoise or amber

    The deep clean, for when a brush won't reach — fast and thorough on hard, untreated stones. Powerful enough that the guide's warning matters: it's not for every gem.

02

Store & protect it

  • Acacia-Wood Jewellery Box

    BoxGreener choice· Listing: solid acacia wood

    Divided compartments so diamonds cannot scratch softer stones and nothing tangles, in an organizer the listing describes as solid acacia wood.

  • Cotton Storage Pouches

    PouchesGreener choice· Listing: cotton · reusable

    One piece per pouch keeps hard stones off soft ones at home or in a bag. The listing describes cotton muslin drawstring bags; the disputed organic claim is not relied on here.

  • Anti-Tarnish Strips

    Storage

    Drop a few in the box or pouch and they quietly absorb the sulphur in the air that greys silver and gold — the slow, invisible tarnish the guide warns about. Replace about every six months.

  • Cotton Travel Roll

    Travel

    Rolls rings, chains and studs into their own padded slots so nothing rubs in a suitcase — 'keep pieces apart' for the road, in premium cotton. Best for a weekend, not a whole collection.

  • Pearl-Safe Soft Pouch

    PouchGreener choice· 100% cotton · made in USA

    For pearls, coral & amber — wipe, don't soak

    Pearls, coral and amber want a plain, soft home and a damp-cloth wipe — never a soak, never an ultrasonic. A simple 100%-cotton pouch is all they ask.
