Jewelry care guide

Proper care extends the life of your jewelry. On this page you'll find clear steps per material, daily habits that prevent wear and tips for sensitive skin.

Quick checklist

  • Remove jewelry before showering, sleeping, exercising and cleaning.
  • Let perfume and body lotion dry first before putting on jewelry.
  • Store jewelry dry and separately to limit scratches and tarnishing.
  • Clean lightly, regularly and with the right method per material.

Daily habits that really make a difference

Most wear comes from small daily actions. With this routine, shine, plating and clasps stay beautiful longer.

1. Last step, not the first

Put on jewelry only after makeup, perfume and hair products.

2. Avoid water and heat

Remove jewelry when showering, sauna, swimming and exercising.

3. Clean shortly after wearing

A soft dry cloth removes skin oils and cosmetics immediately.

4. Store smart

Use soft compartments or pouches so parts don't rub together.

Cleaning per material

Not every piece of jewelry needs the same approach. Use the guidelines below for safe maintenance.

925 Sterling Silver

  • Cleaning: soft silver cloth, don't scrub.
  • For tarnish: lukewarm water + mild soap, pat dry immediately.
  • Avoid: chlorine, perfume residue, damp storage.

Gold-plated

  • Cleaning: dry microfiber cloth, gentle polishing.
  • Frequency: shortly after wearing to remove oils and sweat.
  • Avoid: water, perfume directly on the piece and harsh polishing.

Stainless Steel

  • Cleaning: lukewarm water + mild soap, then dry.
  • Maintenance: little maintenance needed, but store clean.
  • Avoid: aggressive cleaners and abrasive sponges.

What not to do

Situation Risk Better alternative
Showering or swimming with jewelry Faster wear and dull shine Remove jewelry first, then store dry
Spraying perfume directly on jewelry Damage to plating and shine Apply perfume to skin, let dry 1-2 minutes
Storing everything together in a drawer Scratches and tangling Use a compartment or soft pouch per piece

Sensitive skin and allergies

Do you easily get irritated? Then choose 925 silver or stainless steel more often and don't wear jewelry too tight. Clean jewelry regularly so skin residue and cosmetics don't build up.

With prolonged redness or itching: stop wearing temporarily and choose hypoallergenic alternatives.

When is maintenance needed?

  • • After a warm day or long wear: quick dry clean.
  • • With dull shine: material-specific cleaning.
  • • With clasps that feel stiff: check immediately for dirt or wear.
