How to Keep Your Jewelry Sparkling: Essential Care Tips for Long-Lasting Shine
There’s nothing quite like the confidence boost that comes from wearing your favorite jewelry—whether it’s a delicate bracelet, a meaningful necklace, or a gemstone piece that catches the light just right. To keep your collection looking beautiful for years to come, a little care goes a long way. Here are the must-know jewelry care tips every wearer should follow.
Roll, Don’t Stretch: Protect Your Bracelets
When putting on elastic or beaded bracelets, gently roll them onto your wrist instead of stretching them over your hand. This simple habit helps prevent snapping, overstretching, and unnecessary wear on the elastic.
Add Jewelry Last: Apply Products First
Perfumes, lotions, sunscreen, hairspray, and other beauty products can dull the shine of your jewelry or break down adhesive and coatings over time.
Apply all products first, let them dry, and then put your jewelry on to protect its finish.
Remove Jewelry Before Water or Workouts
Water, sweat, soaps, and friction can shorten a jewelry piece’s lifespan—especially for plated items.
Make it a habit to remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, or exercising. This helps prevent tarnishing, discoloration, and unnecessary stress on delicate pieces.
Clean Gently With Mild Soap and a Soft Cloth
To brighten your jewelry, you can clean most pieces with mild soap and water, but avoid submerging them for long periods.
Use a soft cloth to dry and polish your pieces so they maintain their shine without scratching.
Keep Jewelry Away From Harsh Chemicals
Chlorine, cleaning supplies, and even some skincare ingredients can damage metals and gemstones.
Avoid wearing jewelry in pools, hot tubs, or while cleaning to keep it in top condition.
Store Each Piece Separately
Proper storage makes a huge difference in preventing scratches and tangles.
We recommend individual pouches or soft-lined compartments to protect chains from knotting and metal surfaces from rubbing together.
Extra Care for Gemstones: Keep Them Dry & Handle With Caution
Gemstones are naturally porous and delicate, which means they can absorb water or chemicals and become weakened over time.
-
Avoid submerging gemstone jewelry in water.
-
Clean them only with a soft, dry cloth.
-
Handle with care- dropping gemstone jewelry can cause scratching, cracking, or loosening from their settings.
A Little Care Goes a Long Wayl
By building these habits into your daily routine, you’ll keep your jewelry looking beautiful and shining bright for years. Your pieces deserve the love—and so do you!
