How to Care for Your Jewelry

1. Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals like chlorine, salt water, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products which can cause discoloration and tarnishing.

2. Prevent damage by avoiding rough surfaces, excessive force, or friction when wearing or handling your jewelry. Remove your jewelry before activities that could cause impact or abrasion.

3. Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. To minimize tarnishing, use tarnish-resistant pouches or airtight containers to limit exposure to air.

4. Remove your gold-plated or sterling silver jewelry before showering, swimming, or activities involving moisture, water, and humidity which can lead to the gold layer deteriorating or silver tarnishing.

5. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth for cleaning. Dampen the cloth with water or mild soap solution if needed. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive materials.

6. After cleaning, gently pat your jewelry dry with a soft to ensure complete drying before storaging.

7. Only polish when necessary using a jewelry polishing cloth. Excessive polishing can wear down the gold layer.


Additional Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry:

1. Gently clean sterling silver with a soft, lint-free cloth or silver polishing cloth. For intricate designs, use a soft-bristled toothbrush with mild soap and water. Rinse and pat dry.

2. Use a silver polishing compound or cloth to restore shine and remove tarnish. Avoid excessive polishing.

3. Seek professional cleaning for heavily tarnished or intricate pieces. Reputable jewelers have specialized tools to restore brilliance.

Regular cleaning, proper storage and gentle handling will help extend your jewelry's lifespan and keep them looking beautiful.
