Like flowers that bloom with a tender touch, your jewelry, too, flourishes when shown a little love and care. Over time, even the most radiant gems may lose some of their sparkle, but with gentle attention, their beauty can shine brightly once again.
Here, you’ll discover simple and soothing ways to care for your treasured pieces—easy rituals that restore their light and honor the memories they hold.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
Before we start, let’s go over a couple of basics:
- Be gentle! Jewelry can be delicate, so avoid using anything too abrasive.
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals—they can do more harm than good.
- If you’re unsure about a cleaning method, test it on a small, hidden spot first.
Bonus Tip: To make silver care even easier, we include a soft silver polishing cloth with every order. Keep it handy for quick touch-ups!
Gold Jewelry: Bring Back the Shine
Over time, even the most brilliant gold can lose its luster. Here’s how to bring that glow back:
What You’ll Need:
- A few drops of mild dish soap
- Warm water
- A soft-bristled toothbrush
- A microfiber or soft cloth
Steps:
- Mix a little dish soap with warm water in a bowl.
- Soak your gold jewelry for 10-15 minutes to loosen dirt and grime.
- Use the toothbrush to gently clean any intricate details.
- Rinse under clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
It’s that simple, and your gold will look as radiant as ever!
Silver Jewelry: Say Goodbye to Tarnish
Tarnished silver doesn’t have to stay dull. With our included silver polishing cloth, you can easily restore your pieces to their original shine. For deeper tarnish, here’s an easy method to try at home:
What You’ll Need:
- Aluminum foil
- Baking soda
- Boiling water
Steps:
- Line a bowl with aluminum foil, shiny side up.
- Place your silver pieces on the foil.
- Sprinkle baking soda over the jewelry.
- Carefully pour boiling water into the bowl, making sure the pieces are fully covered.
- Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then rinse and dry.
The tarnish will melt away, leaving your silver sparkling like new!
Gemstone Jewelry: Handle With Care
Gemstones are breathtaking, but they need a little extra attention to stay that way.
What You’ll Need:
- Mild soap
- Lukewarm water
- A soft cloth
Steps:
- Dampen a soft cloth with soapy water and gently wipe the gemstones clean.
- Avoid soaking stones like opals or turquoise—they’re more delicate and can absorb water.
- Use a clean damp cloth to remove any soap, then dry right away.
A little TLC goes a long way in keeping your gems vibrant.
Pearls: Protect Their Soft Glow
Pearls are all about subtle beauty, and their care should reflect that.
What You’ll Need:
- A soft, damp cloth
- A touch of olive oil (optional)
Steps:
- Gently wipe your pearls with a damp cloth after each wear to remove any oils or residue.
- If they need an extra boost, rub a tiny bit of olive oil onto the surface to restore their shine.
- Store them in a soft pouch or lined box to keep them scratch-free.
Pearls are delicate, but with the right care, they’ll stay luminous for generations.
A Few Extra Tips to Keep Your Jewelry Happy
- Take off your jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying lotion—chemicals and water aren’t their friends.
- Store your pieces in individual pouches or compartments to avoid scratches.
- Add a small piece of chalk or silica gel to your jewelry box to absorb moisture and prevent tarnish.
A Little Care, A Lot of Love
These simple rituals not only restore their beauty but also preserve the cherished memories they hold—moments of joy, connection, and celebration.
