Jewelry Care 101: Keep Your Pieces Sparkling
1. Store It Safely
Keep jewelry in a dry, cool place. Use a soft-lined box or individual pouches to avoid scratches and tangles.
2. Avoid Moisture & Chemicals
Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, or using household cleaners. Perfume, lotions, and sprays can dull shine over time.
3. Wear with Care
Put on jewelry last when dressing and take it off first when undressing. Avoid wearing pieces during heavy work or workouts.
4. Clean Gently
Use a soft cloth or mild soapy water with a soft brush to clean your jewelry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough cloths.
5. Regular Checkups
Inspect clasps, settings, and stones regularly. Take your jewelry to a trusted jeweler for professional cleaning and repairs as needed.
6. Keep It Dry
Moisture is a big enemy of metal and gemstones. Always dry jewelry completely after cleaning or exposure to water.
7. Know Your Metals & Gems
Each type (silver, gold, diamonds, pearls, etc.) may have unique care needs. Learn and treat them accordingly.
