How to Care for Your Sterling Silver and Gold Plated Jewelry?
As with all other types of jewelry, you'll want to keep them clean and in good condition, so it lasts a long time. Both types of jewelry are best kept out of the water to avoid corrosion and discoloration.
Accessories Care Tips
- Avoid wearing your jewelry in the ocean, swimming pools or when working out, as the salt and chlorine can cause damage.
- Be aware that perfumes, hair sprays and hand sanitizers can tarnish your jewelry due to the harsh chemicals they contain.
- Gently wipe your jewelry piece with a jewelry polishing, non-scratch cloth now and again to promote shine.
- For gold plated, gently wipe to clean and keep away from water and other chemical materials shown above.
- When not wearing your jewelry for a while, please put it inside the jewelry pouch in to reduce oxidation.
Pearl Maintenance & Clean Tips
- Last on, first off. Pearls should be the final touch to your outfit. Avoid applying makeup, hairspray, lotion, or perfume once your pearls are on.
- Store them flat. Store pearl necklaces flat to prevent them from stretching.
- Dedicate a space just for your pearls. Soft pearls are prone to scratches, so store them separately in a pouch.
- Wear pearls often. Pearls perform best in wet conditions, so wearing them regularly will keep them from drying out.
- Wipe your pearls with a soft cloth. It will help prevent any buildup of oils or other substances. Clean with a damp cloth if your pearls are visibly stained, and let them dry before storing. Do NOT submerge a pearl in water.
