Caring for Your Jewelry
Our jewelry is an integral part of our lives and accompanies us every day. Over time, it is common for them to lose their shine. In this article, we explain how to take care of your jewelry and how to maintain them depending on their materials .
Silver jewelry
Silver jewelry, known for being neutral and resistant, is perfect jewelry for everyday life. However, to maintain their shine , it is crucial to protect them. We recommend that you do not expose them to household products and harsh chemicals as well as cosmetics . When you are not wearing them, store them in their original pouch or case to preserve their beauty.
To clean your jewelry, several options are available to you. An effective method is to use white vinegar : simply soak the jewelry in white vinegar for about 15 minutes, then rinse it and gently dry it with a microfiber cloth. If you wish to obtain a more meticulous cleaning, we advise you to go to a jeweler who will carry out a thorough cleaning of your jewelry.
Gold plated jewelry
Gold plated jewelry is more affordable than real gold and is jewelry that we easily wear every day . However, they are less durable and can tarnish. For the daily maintenance of your gold-plated jewelry, it is best to remove them to go to the swimming pool or the sea , as chlorine and salt risk damaging the plating. For some jewelry, we even recommend removing them in the shower.
Also avoid any type of cosmetics and perfumes . It is therefore advisable to spray your perfume and apply your treatments before putting on your jewelry to prevent the products from reacting with the metal.
To clean your gold-plated jewelry, we recommend that you remove dust and any traces with a microfiber cloth , which can also restore shine to your jewelry. Avoid jewelry cleaners that may contain components harmful to this type of metal.
Gold jewelry
Like silver and gold-plated jewelry, gold jewelry should not be exposed to harsh chemicals like household products, cosmetics, and perfumes. If you come into contact with these products, clean your jewelry with a soft cloth . For a deeper clean , soak your jewelry in warm soapy water for a few minutes then scrub it gently with a soft-bristled brush . You can also treat your jewelry to ultrasonic cleaning with a special machine to remove embedded impurities.
When you are not wearing them, store your gold jewelry in its original case to preserve its shine and beauty .
