To ensure your jewelry stays as stunning as the day you received it, proper care is essential. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through some easy yet effective tips to maintain your precious pieces.
General Care
Avoid Chemicals: Minimize exposure to perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and household cleaning products. These can tarnish or damage your jewelry over time.
Keep It Dry: Always remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in strenuous activities that cause sweating.
Store Properly: When not in use, store your jewelry in a soft pouch, anti-tarnish bag, or a dedicated compartment in your jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling.
Cleaning Your Jewelry
Metals: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish metals like silver, gold, and gold-plated items. Avoid abrasive materials that could cause scratches.
Gemstones: Wipe gemstones with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners should be avoided to protect their natural luster.
Special Care Tips
Sterling Silver: Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. Use a silver polishing cloth to restore its shine. Storing silver in airtight containers can also help slow tarnishing.
Gold and Gold-Plated Jewelry: Avoid excessive rubbing to preserve the gold plating. Clean with warm water and a soft cloth for a gentle refresh.
