Enamel

The enamels used to craft Birks jewellery are ethically and sustainably sourced using the highest standards. Follow our care instructions to protect and preserve the appearance and longevity of your enamel pieces.

Daily Care

To extend the life of your Birks enamel jewellery, we recommend removing your jewellery:

  • Using lotion, hair products, fragrances and other cosmetics.
  • Household & outdoor chores,
  • Extreme temperatures and humidity,
  • Protect your enamel jewellery from impact against hard surfaces as this can cause chips or crack in the enamel,

We recommend that you store your jewellery in its Birks pouch for safekeeping when not being worn. 

How to clean your enamel jewellery

We do not recommend wiping enamel with either a gold or silver polishing cloth, or a harsh abrasive cloth.

  • Wash enamel with mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth.
  • An ultrasonic cleaner should never be used with enamel jewellery as it can be damaging.

We welcome you to bring your Birks jewellery at a Maison Birksor Birks store for professional cleaning.
