Jewelry TLC 101: Keep Your Pieces Sparkling (and You Smiling)

Share

Hi there! Your jewelry tells your story, and with a little care, those stories last lifetimes. Here’s our go-to guide for keeping every piece looking—and feeling—amazing.

Everyday Habits We Swear By

  1. Take ‘Em Off Before Bed: Rings and bracelets deserve a rest—and you’ll avoid waking up with a stuck ring.

  2. Store Smart: Soft pouches or original jewelry boxes are ideal. If you don’t have one, wrap each piece in a bit of fabric to prevent scratches.

At-Home Spa Treatments

  • Gold & Platinum: Soak for 10 minutes in warm, soapy water; brush gently, then air-dry.

  • Gemstone Delicates: For pearls, opals, or turquoise, skip the ultrasonic cleaner—stick with a soft brush and gentle soap.

When to Bring in the Experts

  • Loose Stones: If a gem wiggles, don’t wait—tightening now avoids panic later.

  • Rhodium Plating: White gold can lose its shine over time; a yearly refresh keeps that silvery sheen.

Fun fact: We once reunited someone with a lost engagement ring after a quick inspection—no exaggeration, it still makes us smile.

Seasonal Switch-Ups

  • Winter Chill: Leather bands can stiffen; condition them gently.

  • Summer Heat: Sweat and saltwater speed up tarnishing—give pieces a quick rinse after beach days or workouts.
