Jewelry Care Guide

A little routine care goes a long way. The safest care method depends on the material and finish of your specific piece, so always start with the product details.

Keep it dry
Remove jewelry before swimming, showering or prolonged water exposure when possible.
Avoid chemicals
Perfume, lotion, cleaners, chlorine and harsh products can affect metals, plating and stones.
Store separately
A soft pouch or compartment helps reduce scratches, tangles and friction.

Everyday care

  1. Put jewelry on after perfume, lotion and cosmetics have dried.
  2. Remove pieces before swimming, bathing, heavy exercise or cleaning with chemicals.
  3. After wear, gently wipe the piece with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
  4. Store pieces separately in a dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Cleaning

For many plain metal pieces, a soft jewelry cloth is the safest first step. Avoid abrasive cleaners, toothpaste, bleach and aggressive scrubbing. Gemstones, pearls, enamel, plating and glued settings can require different care, so do not soak a piece unless its materials are known to tolerate it.

Plated & mixed-material pieces

Plating can wear gradually from friction, moisture, skin chemistry and chemicals. Gentle handling and dry storage can help preserve the finish. If a listing includes special care instructions, follow those over general guidance.
