How to Care for Your Jewelry and Keep It Shining

CARE TIPS: HOW TO KEEP YOUR JEWELRY SHINING LONGER

Your jewelry is meant to shine, sparkle, and stay beautiful for years — and with the right care, you can protect every piece and keep it looking brand new. Here are some simple and effective care tips to maintain the beauty and longevity of your jewelry.

AVOID CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS

Perfume, lotion, hairspray, sunscreen, and household cleaning products can cause tarnishing and discoloration. Always put your jewelry on last — after applying skincare and cosmetics — and remove it before using chemicals.

STORE YOUR JEWELRY PROPERLY

Proper storage makes a big difference. We recommend:

• Keeping jewelry in a dry, cool place
• Using soft pouches or jewelry boxes
• Storing each piece separately to prevent scratches

For extra protection, anti-tarnish strips or airtight bags work great for silver jewelry.

REMOVE JEWELRY WHEN NECESSARY

To prevent damage, remove your jewelry when:

• Swimming (chlorine and saltwater can dull metals)
• Exercising or sweating
• Showering or bathing
• Sleeping

These activities can cause premature wear, breakage, or fading.

CLEAN REGULARLY — BUT GENTLY

A simple cleaning routine once a week can keep your pieces radiant:

Soak gently in mild soap and warm water
Use a soft cloth or brush to clean
Rinse thoroughly
Pat dry completely

Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or toothpaste, which can damage metal and stones.

KNOW YOUR METAL & STONE TYPES

Different materials require different care. For example:

• Gold and gold-plated jewelry needs gentle cleaning and careful storage
• Sterling silver benefits from frequent wear but also needs anti-tarnish storage
• Natural stones may be sensitive to heat, chemicals, and rough handling

When in doubt, treat your jewelry kindly and gently.

A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY

With consistent care and proper handling, your jewelry will stay beautiful, shiny, and long-lasting. Treat your pieces with love — they deserve it!
