Your jewelry is crafted to be cherished for years to come. With proper care and regular maintenance, you can help preserve its shine, beauty, and condition.
1. Keep Away From Chemicals
Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, cosmetics, hairspray, cleaning products, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals. These substances can affect the finish of the metal and the appearance of gemstones.
2. Remove Before Water Activities
Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, bathing, or using a hot tub. Chlorine and salt water can damage certain metals and gemstones over time.
3. Avoid Wearing During Physical Activities
Take off your jewelry before exercising, gardening, cleaning, or performing activities that may expose it to impact, excessive moisture, or dirt. This helps prevent scratches, bending, or damage to delicate settings.
4. Store Jewelry Properly
Store each piece separately in a soft jewelry pouch or lined jewelry box when not in use. Keeping pieces separated helps prevent scratches, tangling, and unnecessary friction.
5. Clean Gently
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewelry after wearing it. For suitable pieces, clean with lukewarm water and a mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
6. Protect Gemstones
Different gemstones have different levels of hardness and durability. Avoid dropping, striking, or exposing gemstone jewelry to sudden temperature changes. Some gemstones may require specialized care.
7. Handle With Care
Avoid pulling or pressing delicate settings, prongs, chains, or clasps. Check your jewelry periodically to make sure stones are secure, and clasps are functioning properly.
8. Professional Maintenance
For valuable or frequently worn jewelry, we recommend periodic professional inspection and cleaning. A jeweler can check the setting, prongs, clasp, and overall condition of the piece.
A little care goes a long way. Proper storage, gentle cleaning, and mindful wearing will help your jewelry maintain its beauty and brilliance for years to come.
