Jewelry Care
To keep your precious jewelry sparkling for years to come, please follow these simple guidelines:
- Avoid Water, Especially Salt Water & Pools: Remove jewelry before showering or bathing. Also, remove your jewelry before swimming in the ocean or chlorinated pools, as harsh chemicals and salt can damage metals and stones.
- Avoid Chemicals & Cosmetics: Put on your jewelry after applying makeup, lotions, perfumes, or hairspray, as these can dull the shine or even harm certain materials. Avoid household cleaners while wearing jewelry.
- Remove Before Activities: Take off your jewelry before strenuous activities like exercising, gardening, or cleaning, to prevent scratches, impact damage, or loss.
- Gentle Cleaning: Clean your jewelry regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth or a mild soap solution and warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasives like toothpaste, or ultrasonic cleaners, unless specified for your specific jewelry.
- Store Properly: Store each piece of jewelry separately in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch, cloth, or lined jewelry box to prevent scratching and tangling. Consider using anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets for extra protection against moisture.
