Jewelry care and storage
Regular cleaning
Jewelry should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt, grease, and other impurities. Use a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.
Gentle cleaning
Use a soft cloth or a soft toothbrush to clean your jewelry. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
Dry
Dry your jewelry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Make sure no moisture remains, as this can lead to discoloration or corrosion.
Specific care
Gold
Clean gold jewelry with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Rinse it thoroughly and dry it completely.
Silver
Silver is prone to oxidation. Use special silver cleaning solutions or cloths to restore its shine.
gemstones
Gemstones must be cleaned carefully. Do not use chemical cleaning agents, as these can damage the stones. A soft cloth and warm water are usually sufficient.
pearls
Pearls are particularly delicate. Clean them with a soft cloth after wearing. Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, and other chemicals.
Proper handling
When getting dressed
Jewelry should only be put on after getting dressed and applying cosmetics to minimize contact with chemicals.
When playing sports and sleeping: Remove jewelry before playing sports, showering or sleeping to avoid damage and contamination.
Swimming pool and sea: Avoid wearing jewelry in swimming pools and the sea. Chlorine in swimming pools and salt water can corrode the metal, making it brittle and damaging the jewelry.
Regular review
Regularly check the closures and sockets for damage and have any necessary repairs carried out by a professional.
