Jewelry Care tips

For our waterproof pieces:

Stainless steel jewelry with freshwater pearls combines durability and elegance. Proper care ensures that both the stainless steel and pearls remain beautiful and last a long time. Follow this guide to maintain your jewelry in excellent condition.

Daily Care

  1. Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Pearls are sensitive to chemicals found in perfumes, hairsprays, cosmetics, and household cleaners. Apply these products before putting on your jewelry.
  2. Wipe After Wear: After wearing, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, damp cloth to remove oils, sweat, and dirt. This is especially important for pearls, as they can be damaged by prolonged exposure to these substances.
  3. Store Properly: Store your jewelry in a soft cloth pouch or a jewelry box with a fabric lining to prevent scratches and damage. Keep pieces separate to avoid scratching the pearls or stainless steel.

Cleaning

  1. Mild Cleaning Solution: Use a mixture of lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents and chemicals.
  2. Soft Cloth or Brush: Use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush to clean your jewelry. Do not soak pearls in water for extended periods.
  3. Rinse and Dry: Rinse the jewelry with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth. Ensure the jewelry is completely dry before storing.

Special Considerations for Freshwater Pearls

  1. Avoid Heat and Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat can cause pearls to become brittle and discolor.
  2. Humidity: Pearls thrive in a humid environment. Extremely dry conditions can cause them to crack. If you live in a dry climate, consider placing a small glass of water in your jewelry box to maintain humidity.
  3. Last On, First Off: Pearls should be the last accessory you put on and the first one you take off. This reduces exposure to harmful substances.

Maintenance

  1. Regular Inspections: Regularly check the jewelry for any signs of damage, such as loose pearls or scratches on the stainless steel. Take any damaged pieces to a professional jeweler for repair.
  2. Professional Cleaning: Occasionally, take your jewelry to a professional jeweler for a thorough cleaning and inspection.

Additional Tips

  1. Avoid Wearing During Activities: Do not wear your jewelry while swimming, showering, or engaging in sports. Chlorine and sweat can damage both pearls and stainless steel.
  2. Be Mindful of Impact: Pearls are softer than many gemstones and metals, so avoid activities that could result in the jewelry being bumped or scratched.
  3. Travel Care: When traveling, use a padded jewelry case to protect your pieces from damage.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your stainless steel jewelry with freshwater pearls remains in pristine condition, preserving its beauty and extending its life.

 

For our non-waterproof pieces:

Non-waterproof jewelry, which can be sensitive to moisture and other environmental factors, requires special attention to maintain its appearance and longevity. Follow this guide to ensure your jewelry stays beautiful and in good condition.

Daily Care

  1. Avoid Moisture: Keep your jewelry dry. Remove it before washing hands, showering, swimming, or exercising to prevent exposure to water, sweat, and humidity.
  2. Wipe After Wear: Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils, sweat, and dirt. This helps prevent tarnish and corrosion.
  3. Store Properly: Store your jewelry in a dry, cool place. Use a jewelry box with a fabric lining, individual compartments, or soft cloth pouches to avoid scratches and tangling.

Cleaning

  1. Soft Cloth or Brush: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a very soft-bristled brush to clean your jewelry. Gently rub the surface without applying too much pressure.
  2. Rinse and Dry: If you use a damp cloth for cleaning, immediately wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth, and thoroughly dry the jewelry with a soft, dry cloth.

Special Considerations

  1. Chemical Exposure: Avoid exposing your jewelry to chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, cleaning agents, and chlorine. Apply these products before putting on your jewelry.
  2. Avoid Impact: Non-waterproof jewelry can be delicate. Avoid wearing it during activities that could result in impacts, such as sports or heavy manual work.
  3. Temperature Extremes: Protect your jewelry from extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in places like a hot car, which can cause damage.

Additional Tips

  1. Travel Care: When traveling, use a padded jewelry case with individual compartments to protect your pieces from damage.
  2. Last On, First Off: Make jewelry the last thing you put on when getting dressed and the first thing you take off at the end of the day to minimize exposure to harmful substances and activities.
  3. Avoid Sleeping with Jewelry: Remove your jewelry before going to bed to prevent it from getting tangled, bent, or damaged.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your non-waterproof jewelry remains in excellent condition, retaining its beauty and functionality for years to come.
