General Care Tips

1. Store Jewelry Properly
   When not in use, store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or a jewelry box with separate compartments. This prevents scratches, tangles, and oxidation.

2. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
   Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as cleaning products, perfumes, lotions, and hairspray. These substances can dull the finish and damage gemstones or plating.

3. Remove Before Physical Activities
   Take off your jewelry before engaging in physical activities such as exercise, swimming, or heavy lifting to prevent damage and excessive wear.

4. Clean Regularly
   Regular cleaning will help maintain the shine and beauty of your pieces. Use a soft cloth to gently wipe away dirt, oils, and residue after wearing.

Caring for Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is a beautiful and durable metal that can tarnish over time if not cared for properly. To maintain the shine of your sterling silver jewelry:

• Polish Frequently: Use a soft, non-abrasive polishing cloth to restore luster and remove tarnish.
• Avoid Water Exposure: Remove silver jewelry before showering or swimming to prevent moisture from accelerating tarnishing.
• Store Correctly: Keep sterling silver pieces in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch when not in use to reduce exposure to air and humidity.

Caring for Gold-Plated Jewelry

Gold-plated jewelry requires special attention to maintain its luxurious appearance. Here’s how to care for your gold-plated pieces:

• Limit Contact: Avoid exposing gold-plated jewelry to perfumes, lotions, or sweat, as they can cause the gold layer to wear off faster.
• Use Gentle Cleaning: Clean gold-plated items with a soft, damp cloth, and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
• Store Separately: To prevent scratches, store your gold-plated jewelry in a soft pouch, away from other jewelry.
• Avoid Water Exposure: Remove gold-plated jewelry before showering or swimming to prevent moisture from accelerating tarnishing.

Caring for Gemstones

Gemstone jewelry adds a touch of color and elegance to any outfit, but each gemstone requires unique care. Follow these tips to protect your gems:

• Handle with Care: Gemstones can be sensitive to knocks and scratches. Always handle them gently.
• Keep Clean: Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to clean your gemstone jewelry. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage some stones.
• Store Safely: Keep gemstone jewelry separate from other pieces to avoid scratching or chipping.
