Everyday Jewelry Care Rules
-
Remove jewelry before showering
-
Avoid sleeping with necklaces and chains
-
Put jewelry on after skincare and perfume
-
Wipe pieces after wear with a soft cloth
Skin oils break down metal coatings.
Sweat speeds corrosion. That includes solid gold.
1. Put jewelry on last. Take it off first.
Skincare, perfume, sunscreen, hairspray.
All of it damages metal and stones.
Jewelry goes on after.
Jewelry comes off before bed.
2. Water is not your friend.
This ruins more jewelry than anything else.
-
No showering
-
No swimming
-
No washing dishes
Gold plated jewelry fades fast in water.
Chlorine eats the finish.
3. Stop sleeping in your necklaces.
Chains stretch.
Clasps weaken.
Pendants rub the plating off.
If you wake up wearing it, you are shortening its life.
4. Store pieces separately.
Jewelry scratches jewelry.
-
Use soft pouches
-
Keep chains clasped
-
Never pile pieces together
Bathrooms create humidity.
Humidity damages metal.
5. Do not polish gold-plated jewelry.
Most people ruin their pieces here.
Polishing cloths contain abrasives.
Abrasives remove gold plating.
Use a clean microfiber cloth only.
One light wipe. Nothing more.
6. Rotate gold-plated jewelry.
Gold plating wears from friction, not time.
Wearing the same piece daily causes uneven fading.
Rotate necklaces and bracelets.
They last longer.
They look better.
7. Replate instead of replacing.
Fading does not mean a piece is done.
Most jewelers replate gold jewelry.
It costs less than buying new.
Replating brings pieces back to life.
