How to care for your jewelry so it shines longer

Short answer: you can shower and sweat with our jewelry. To make the plating and stones last longer, dry them after getting them wet and clean them occasionally with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Don't spray perfume or cream on them, and store each one in its case, separate from the others.

In everyday life

  • Last thing on when getting dressed, first thing off when undressing. Put on perfume, cream, and hairspray before the jewelry, and let them dry.
  • Dry it if it gets wet. It can handle water and sweat, but drying it with a soft cloth will make the plating last longer.
  • Take it off for rough activities. Weightlifting, contact sports, or moving house: impacts are what damage jewelry the most.
  • Better without it in the pool or sea. Chlorine and salt are bad for gold or silver plating.

How to clean it, step by step

  1. Fill a glass with warm water and a few drops of mild soap.
  2. Leave the jewelry inside for a couple of minutes.
  3. Rub with a soft toothbrush, especially between the links and around the stones, where grease builds up.
  4. Rinse with clean water.
  5. Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Once a month is enough, or when you notice the stones have lost their shine.

By material

Gold-plated stainless steel

Steel doesn't rust. What you need to protect is the plating: no scouring pads, toothpaste, or metal polish, as they will scratch it. Water, mild soap, and drying it.

925 sterling silver

It may darken slightly over time, which is normal for any silver. Clean it as described above and store it in its case, away from moisture, so it takes longer to tarnish.

VVS moissanite

The stone doesn't lose its shine. If it gets dirty, use warm water and mild soap. What you need to protect here is the 925 silver and its plating.

5A cubic zirconia

They lose their shine when grease or cream builds up on them. A cleaning will make them shine again. If you want to know how they differ from moissanite, read VVS moissanite or 5A cubic zirconia.

Grillz

Wash them after each use, dry them, and store them in their box. You can find the details in grillz: what they are and how to wear them.

How to store it

  • Each one in its case. Stored together, they will scratch each other, especially those with stones.
  • Chains, stretched out or closed. This prevents them from knotting.
  • In a dry place. The plating will thank you, and the silver will take longer to tarnish.

What to avoid

  • Bleach, alcohol, acetone, or harsh cleaners.
  • Scouring pads, toothpaste, or abrasive cloths.
  • Leaving it wet or storing it damp.
  • Spraying perfume directly on it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sleep with the chain on?

You can, but it will tangle and rub more. If you take it off, it will last longer.

How often should I clean it?

Once a month, or when you notice it has lost its shine.

Are jewelry cleaners sold in stores suitable?

Better not. Many contain abrasive products designed for solid gold and can damage the plating. Warm water and mild soap is the safest option.
