A Jewelry Care Guide Made For You
To help you keep your jewelry looking its best for years to come, we’ve put together this comprehensive care guide. Know that our premier plating is extra durable, but that doesn't mean it's impervious to wear and tear. Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance of your jewelry. Follow these expert tips on how to wear, clean, and store your jewelry to ensure it maintains its beauty and lasts as long as possible.
How to Wear Your Jewelry
1. Apply Beauty Products First:
Always apply lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays before putting on your jewelry. These products can contain chemicals that may damage the plating at a faster rate over time.
2. Avoid Water and Sweat, if Possible:
Although our jewelry is water resistant, we do recommend removing it before swimming, showering, or exercising. Inevitably, increased water and sweat exposure weakens the gold plating at a faster rate over time. If you want your jewelry to last the longest, less water exposure is recommended.
3. Be Mindful of Your Activities:
Remove your jewelry before engaging in harsh physical activities or household chores.
4. Wear It Last:
Put on your jewelry as the last step of your getting-ready routine and take it off as the first step of your winding-down routine to minimize exposure to potential damaging chemicals.
5. Avoid Contact with Hard Surfaces:
Be careful when wearing your jewelry around hard surfaces to prevent scratches. For instance, avoid resting your arms on rough surfaces or bumping against objects.
6. Keep It Separate:
If you’re layering jewelry, make sure pieces don’t rub against each other. Choose delicate, non-abrasive fabrics when laying your jewelry on a surface.
How to Clean Your Jewelry
1. Use a Soft Cloth:
Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth to remove dirt and oils. Avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics that can scratch the surface.
2. Mild Soap Solution:
If necessary, use a mild, non-chemical soap diluted in water. Dip a soft cloth into the solution, wring it out, and gently clean your jewelry. Rinse briefly under cool water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
3. Avoid Harsh Cleaners:
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or jewelry cleaning solutions, as these can damage the PVD coating and reduce the lifespan of your jewelry.
4. Regular Cleaning:
Clean your jewelry regularly to prevent the buildup of grime and to keep it looking its best. A quick wipe with a soft cloth after wearing it can help maintain its shine.
How to Store Your Jewelry
1. Store in a Soft Pouch or Jewelry Box:
Keep your jewelry in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to protect it from scratches and tarnishing.
2. Avoid Humidity:
Store your jewelry in a dry place. Humidity can contribute to loss of shine, so avoid storing your jewelry in moist bathrooms or other damp areas.
3. Keep Away from Sunlight:
Store your jewelry away from direct sunlight, that causes color fading over time. Choose a cool, dark place for optimal preservation.
