Care Instructions

Proper care and maintenance can help preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewelry. Here are some general care instructions that can apply to various types of jewelry:

1) Store jewelry separately: To prevent scratching or tangling, store each piece of jewelry separately in a soft pouch or individual compartments of a jewelry box. Avoid storing different types of jewelry together, as they can scratch or damage each other. Check out our collection of Jewellery Boxes and Jewellery Organizers.

2) Avoid exposure to chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals, including household cleaning agents, perfumes, cosmetics, and hairsprays. These substances can dull the shine of gemstones, erode metal finishes, or even cause discoloration. It's best to remove your jewelry before engaging in activities that involve contact with chemicals.

3) Take off jewelry during activities: Remove your jewelry before engaging in physical activities such as sports or exercise. Jewelry can get damaged or bent during these activities, and gemstones or settings may become loose or dislodged. Additionally, skin oils and sweat can cause jewelry to discolor.

4) Clean jewelry regularly: Regular cleaning helps maintain the sparkle and shine of your jewelry. However, different types of jewelry require different cleaning methods. Here are some guidelines:

 

• Metal-plated jewelry: To clean jewelry that should not come into contact with water, use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove dirt and oils. This helps prevent the metal plating or coatings from blackening, tarnishing, or corroding due to water exposure. This applies to any jewelry that has undergone silver plating or gold plating, even if the base metal is sterling silver or stainless steel.
• Gemstone jewelry: Be cautious when cleaning gemstone jewelry, as some gemstones are delicate and require special care. It's best to use a non-abrasive, mild soap and water solution or a specialized jewelry cleaner recommended for specific gemstones. Avoid harsh chemicals and vigorous scrubbing.
• Pearl jewelry: Pearls are delicate and require special care. Wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove any oils or debris. Avoid exposing pearls to excessive heat, chemicals, or prolonged immersion in water.

5) Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause certain gemstones to fade or change color. Store your jewelry in a cool, dark place when not in use.

Remember that different types of jewelry may have specific care requirements. By following these care instructions, you can help ensure that your jewelry remains beautiful and well-maintained for years to come.
