Jewelry Care

To ensure your jewelry stays as beautiful as the day you first wore it, here are some essential tips on how to efficiently preserve and care for your  jewelry.

 Store Your Jewelry Properly

  • Individual Storage: Keep each piece of jewelry in a separate pouch, box, or compartment to prevent scratching and tangling.
  • Anti-Tarnish Strips: Place anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets in your storage containers to absorb moisture and protect against tarnish. We provide anti tarnish strips with your purchase.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store your jewelry away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading and discoloration.

How to Efficiently Preserve Your Jewelry: Costume, Gold-Plated, 925 Sterling Silver, Stainless Steel & Moissanite

Whether your jewelry is sentimental, stylish, or a little of both, taking proper care of it ensures it stays beautiful for years to come. Each material—be it costume jewelry or high-quality moissanite—requires specific care. Here’s your complete guide to preserving your pieces the right way.


1. Costume Jewelry

Costume jewelry is made from inexpensive metals and imitation stones. It’s stylish but more delicate.

Care Tips:

  • Avoid moisture: Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising.

  • Store in a dry place: Keep in airtight bags or anti-tarnish pouches.

  • Wipe after wear: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat or oils.

  • No perfumes or lotions: These can dull finishes or cause discoloration.


2. Gold-Plated Jewelry

Gold-plated jewelry offers the look of gold without the price, but the layer can wear off with time.

Care Tips:

  • Limit exposure to water and friction: Don’t wear while washing hands or doing chores.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals: Clean with mild soap and water, then dry gently.

  • Buff lightly: Use a microfiber or jewelry polishing cloth.

  • Separate storage: Prevent scratching by storing each piece individually.


3. 925 Sterling Silver

Sterling silver (92.5% silver) can tarnish, but with the right care, it can last a lifetime.

Care Tips:

  • Store in anti-tarnish bags: Keep away from humidity.

  • Wear it often: Regular wear slows tarnishing.

  • Clean regularly: Use a special silver polish or baking soda paste.

  • Avoid exposure to sulfur: Hot tubs, eggs, and some fabrics can accelerate tarnish.


4. Stainless Steel Jewelry

Durable and resistant to rust or tarnish, stainless steel is great for everyday wear.

Care Tips:

  • Clean with soap and water: Dry with a soft towel to prevent water spots.

  • Polish occasionally: Use a polishing cloth for extra shine.

  • Store away from sharp items: Prevent scratches by separating from other metals.


5. Moissanite

Moissanite is a sparkling, durable alternative to diamonds, but like all gems, it still needs care.

Care Tips:

  • Clean with mild detergent: Soak in warm water and brush with a soft toothbrush.

  • Avoid abrasive materials: These can scratch the stone or setting.

  • Store safely: Use a soft-lined box or pouch.

  • Check settings regularly: Make sure stones are secure to prevent loss.


General Jewelry Care Tips:

  • Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after makeup, hairspray, and perfume.

  • Routine inspections: Check for loose stones or damaged clasps.

  • Professional cleanings: Every 6–12 months for high-value items.


Keeping your jewelry in great condition doesn’t have to be complicated—it just takes a little love and consistency. Whether it’s your favorite fashion piece or a treasured heirloom, proper care ensures your sparkle lasts a lifetime.
