How to Care for Your Jewelry

Tips to Keep Your Pieces Sparkling

Jewelry is more than just an accessory; it holds memories, marks special occasions, and completes our favorite looks. To keep your treasured pieces shining bright for years to come, proper care is essential. Here are some practical tips to help you care for your jewelry:

Store Jewelry Properly

• Separate Pieces: Store each piece individually to prevent scratches and tangles. Use soft pouches, jewelry boxes, or compartmentalized organizers.

• Avoid Humidity: Keep your jewelry in a cool, dry place. Consider adding silica gel packets to absorb moisture and prevent tarnishing.

  
  

Clean Regularly but Gently

• Gold and Platinum: Use a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Soak your jewelry for a few minutes, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, and rinse thoroughly.

• Silver: Use a silver polishing cloth or a specialized cleaner to maintain shine and remove tarnish.

• Gemstones: Wipe with a damp cloth to avoid loosening the settings. Some stones, like opals and pearls, are delicate and should not be soaked.

  
  

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Chemicals in cleaning agents, perfumes, hairsprays, and even chlorine can damage metals and gemstones. Remove your jewelry before cleaning, swimming, or applying beauty products.
