How to care for your Jewelry

1. Regular Cleaning:

   • Gently clean your jewelry with a soft-bristled brush or a soft cloth to remove any dust, dirt, or oils.
   • For a deeper clean, use warm water with mild soap. Soak the jewelry for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

   • Remove your jewelry when using harsh chemicals, such as cleaning agents or bleach, as they can damage or discolor the metal and gemstones.

3. Store Properly:

   • Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
   • Keep pieces separated in a jewelry box with compartments or in soft pouches to prevent scratching and tangling.

4. Avoid Physical Damage:

   • Remove your jewelry when doing heavy physical work, exercising, or playing sports to prevent damage.

5. Handle with Care:

   • Handle your jewelry by its edges rather than the surface to avoid leaving fingerprints or oils.

6. Avoid Extreme Temperatures:

   • Extreme heat or cold can damage certain gemstones and metals. Store your jewelry in a temperate, dry area.

7. Regular Inspections:

   • Have your jewelry inspected by a professional jeweler at least once a year to ensure that the
   • settings are secure and to perform any necessary repair or maintenance work.

8. Polishing:

   • Use a jewelry polishing cloth to maintain the shine of your metal jewelry. Avoid using tissue or paper towels as they can scratch the surface.

9. Avoid Contact with Cosmetics:

   • Put on your jewelry after you have applied makeup, lotion, perfume, or hairspray to avoid buildup of residues.

10. Professional Cleaning:

    • For precious and semi-precious gemstones, consider professional cleaning every so often to maintain their sparkle.

11. Know Your Jewelry:

    • Different materials require different care. For example, pearls are more delicate and require special care compared to metals. Ensure you know the care instructions for the specific materials your jewelry is made from.

12. Use Ultrasonic Cleaners with Caution:

    • Ultrasonic cleaners can be effective for cleaning certain types of jewelry, but they can also loosen settings and damage certain gemstones. It’s best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult with a professional jeweler if in doubt.

By following these tips, you can keep your jewelry looking beautiful and ensure it lasts for many years to come.
