Why Jewelry Care Matters
Over time, exposure to everyday elements like air, moisture, and skin oils can dull the brilliance of your jewelry. Proper care not only preserves its beauty but also extends its lifespan, making it a lasting investment.
Cleaning Your Jewelry
Gold and Rose Gold Pieces:
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish your jewelry.
For deeper cleaning, soak in warm, soapy water (mild dish soap works best) for 10 minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush.
Sterling Silver Jewelry:
To remove tarnish, use a silver polishing cloth or a specially formulated silver cleaner.
Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface
Gemstones:
Clean gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
Be cautious with porous stones like opals or pearls—use a damp cloth instead of soaking them.
Storing Your Jewelry
Separate Storage: Store each piece individually to prevent scratches. Use a soft pouch or lined jewelry box for added protection.
Avoid Humidity: Keep your jewelry in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in bathrooms or other humid environments.
Travel Safely: Use a travel jewelry case with compartments to keep pieces secure and tangle-free.
Preventative Care Tips
Limit Exposure: Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes. Chlorine, chemicals, and oils can cause tarnish or damage.
Handle with Care: Avoid wearing delicate pieces during activities that might lead to impact or stress on the jewelry.
Check for Maintenance: Inspect your jewelry regularly for loose stones or damaged clasps. Address any issues promptly to avoid further damage.
Professional Care Services
For deeper cleaning or repairs, consider professional jewelry care. Many jewelers, including Amber Ridge, offer services to restore your pieces to their original brilliance.
