Care & Tips for Gold and Silver Jewelry
Jewelry is not just about decoration. Each piece carries memories, personal moments, and stories worth preserving. That’s why proper care is not just a habit—it’s a way of keeping the beauty and uniqueness of every creation alive through time. Follow the tips below to keep your favorite silver and gold jewelry in the best possible condition.
Caring for Gold Jewelry
Gold symbolizes elegance and durability, but even this precious metal needs the right care to maintain its shine.
What to Avoid:
1. Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, and sunscreens. Chemicals can dull the surface and rob gold of its natural shine.
2.Keep gold jewelry away from chlorine and seawater, as they can cause corrosion and discoloration.
3.Remove your jewelry before sleeping or engaging in physical activities. Friction and sudden movements can cause damage.
How to Care for It:
1.Gentle cleaning – Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust and everyday buildup.
2.Deep cleaning – Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild soap. Soak the jewelry for a few minutes, then clean it gently with a soft brush.
3. Careful storage – Keep gold pieces in individual pouches or lined boxes to avoid scratches and wear.

Caring for Silver Jewelry
Silver is a metal known for its natural glow, but exposure to air, moisture, and chemicals can lead to oxidation, giving it a dull or even blackened appearance.
What to Avoid:
1.Moisture accelerates oxidation. Avoid exposing your silver pieces to water and store them in a dry environment.
2.Constant contact with creams, perfumes, and cleaning products may alter the surface. Avoid products containing alcohol or chemicals near silver jewelry.
3.Improper storage can lead to yellowing or dark spots.
How to Care for It:
1. Wear it often – Silver stays brighter when worn frequently. The natural contact with skin helps prevent oxidation.
2.Store in an airtight container – Reduce silver’s exposure to air by storing it in zip-lock bags or anti-tarnish jewelry boxes.
3.Clean with specialized products – Use a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish and restore its shine.
💡 Extra Tip: If you don’t have a specialized cleaner, you can use a mixture of lukewarm water and a few drops of mild soap for a gentle clean.
