How to Care for Your Jewelry – A Guide to Caring for Your Jewellery

Your jewelry isn't just a decorative piece, it's also a precious keepsake that can last for generations. To maintain its brilliance and durability, it's important to take proper care of it. This guide will provide you with proven methods for caring for gold and silver jewelry, cleaning gemstone rings, and properly storing delicate pieces.

How to restore jewelry's shine? Home SPA

If your jewelry has lost its former shine, you can easily clean it at home. All you need is a toothbrush (with soft bristles) and warm water with natural, detergent-free soap. Pay special attention to the spaces under the stones – the holes in the setting are designed to facilitate cleaning and restore the shine of engagement rings and other gemstone jewelry. Remember that some stones, such as emeralds, opals, and pearls , require special care – they are delicate. After cleaning, dry the jewelry with a soft cotton towel and – if it's not gold-plated – polish it with a special polishing cloth for silver or gold jewelry. Our store offers jewelry care accessories that will help you maintain its pristine appearance.

Treasures for years to come – How to properly store jewelry?

Proper jewelry storage is crucial to its durability. The best solution is a jewelry box or the original packaging your order came in. It's best to store jewelry in an airtight box to limit its exposure to air and prevent oxidation, especially in the case of silver and lower-grade gold (8k and 9k).

Small habits that protect your treasures

Although gold and silver are precious metals, they are still susceptible to scratching, deformation, and chemical reactions. To keep your jewelry looking its best for longer, remember to:

  • Remove rings, earrings, pendants and bracelets when bathing, cleaning and exercising at the gym.

  • Avoid contact of jewelry with detergents, perfumes and cosmetics.

  • Do not wear jewelry in the pool – the chlorine in the water weakens the structure of the metal.

Although we don't always see the effects immediately, contact of jewelry with chemicals can lead to micro-damage that weakens its durability – for example, loosening the claws holding the stone.
