Your jewelry is an investment. With proper care, your pieces will stay beautiful for years. Here is how to care for different materials.
Gold and Gold-Plated Jewelry
Wipe gold pieces with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue. Store in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratching. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
Sterling Silver
Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture. Store silver pieces in airtight bags with anti-tarnish strips. Clean with a silver polishing cloth when tarnish appears. Never use abrasive cleaners.
Pearls
Pearls are delicate and can be damaged by cosmetics and perfumes. Put pearls on last, after applying makeup and perfume. Wipe with a soft damp cloth after wearing and store flat in a soft pouch.
Gemstones
Most gemstones can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for softer stones. Store gemstone jewelry separately to prevent scratching.
