Jewelry Care Guide
Your jewelry deserves a little tender loving care to keep it sparkling for years to come. Make it the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you take off at night—after all, even your most treasured pieces need their beauty sleep! Before wearing your jewelry, ensure everyday products like hairspray, perfume, sunscreen, and body lotion are applied and fully dried.
Proper care can greatly extend the life of your jewelry. When not in use, store it in an airtight pouch to shield it from moisture, dust, and air exposure.
Gold-Plated Jewelry
Gold-plated jewelry features a thin layer of gold over a base metal, offering a luxurious look. With gentle care, you can keep these pieces looking their best.
Wear Tips
Gold-plated items are delicate, so handle them with care. To protect the plating, avoid direct contact with lotions, perfumes, cosmetics, sunscreen, sweat, and water.
Storage Tips
Store your gold-plated jewelry individually in airtight pouches in a cool, dry place. This helps prevent oxidation and tarnishing.
Cleaning Tips
Wipe gently with a soft, untreated cloth after each wear to remove dirt or oils. Avoid using polishing cloths or harsh cleaning agents to protect the plating.
Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater pearls, formed naturally inside mussels, are organic treasures with a radiant luster. These delicate gems come in a range of colors, from classic white to soft peach and elegant gray.
Wear Tips
Pearls require special care—think of them as the delicate beauties of your collection. Keep them away from water, showers, pools, and vigorous activities like exercising.
Storage Tips
Pearls need to breathe! Store them in a soft pouch that isn’t airtight to prevent drying out. Avoid areas with excessive sunlight or moisture, which can dull their natural sheen.
Cleaning Tips
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your pearls as needed, avoiding harsh cleaners or polishing solutions. Always dry them gently to maintain their radiant glow.
Gemstone Jewelry
Gemstones come in a variety of types, each with unique properties and care requirements. Their vibrant colors and textures add personality to any piece, but they require thoughtful handling.
Wear Tips
Handle gemstones carefully, as their hardness levels vary. Protect them from prolonged exposure to lotions, perfumes, cosmetics, sunscreen, sweat, and water, as some stones may fade or become damaged.
Storage Tips
Store gemstone pieces individually in airtight pouches to avoid scratches or contact with air. Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth before storing to remove oils or residues.
Cleaning Tips
Clean gemstones with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristle brush. Ensure they are completely dry before storing. Avoid steam or ultrasonic cleaners, as they may harm the color or integrity of colored gemstones.
With these simple steps, your jewelry will stay as stunning as the day you first wore it!
