How To Care For Your Jewelry

by Morgan Wellman

 

Demi-fine jewelry strikes the perfect balance between luxury and affordability, offering pieces that are both high-quality and accessible. But like all treasured items, they require a certain level of care to maintain their beauty over time. Here’s how you can keep your jewelry looking as good as new.

Daily Care Tips

  • Keep it Clean: Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to help remove oils and other residues that can naturally build up on your jewelry. A polishing cloth is ideal here as it is specifically made to gently polish your jewelry. We have the perfect on the go polishing cloth in our Extras section!
  • Store Properly: Store your pieces in a dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use. Make sure to use separate pouches to prevent scratching some of the delicate materials, such as pearls. The Belladonna pouch included in your purchase is the perfect storage solution for this. Be sure to keep your included care card as there is an anti-tarnish strip on the back! 

Cleaning Your Jewelry

  • Mild Soap Solution: For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution and a soft toothbrush to gently remove built up dirt and oils. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  • Professional Cleaning: For intricate pieces, consider professional cleaning once a year.

Avoid Harmful Substances

  • Chemicals and Moisture: Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes as these can cause your jewelry to tarnish. 
  • Extreme Temperatures: Keep your jewelry away from extreme heat or cold, which can cause metals to warp or stones to crack.

Regular Checks

  • Inspect Clasps and Settings: Regularly check clasps and settings to ensure they are secure. This can prevent the loss of your jewelry or stones. If you discover any issues, you may reach out for a free repair. 

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your demi-fine jewelry remains a lasting part of your collection. Remember, the key to longevity is regular care and attention.
