Jewelry Care
Welcome to Stella’s Jewelry Care Guide! Your silver is crafted with love and deserves proper care to maintain its brilliance and longevity. Follow these simple tips to keep your pieces looking stunning for years to come.
1. Daily Wear
-
Avoid wearing your jewelry while doing gardening, or any activity that may expose it to harsh chemicals or physical damage.
-
Put on your jewelry after applying makeup, perfume, and lotion to prevent tarnishing.
-
For gold-plated and rose gold-plated jewelry, avoid continuous contact with water, sweat, and oils to preserve the plating.
2. Cleaning Your Jewelry
-
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewelry after each use to remove dirt and oils.
-
For a deeper clean, use a mild soap and warm water solution. Soak silver jewelry for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush. For gold-plated and rose gold-plated jewelry, clean gently with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaning.
-
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth.
-
However, we recommend this as a last resort, as we say prevention is better than cure.
3. Storing Your Jewelry
-
Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
-
Keep it in the box which we send along with the package to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
-
Keep individual pieces separate to prevent scratching or tangling.
-
For gold-plated and rose gold-plated jewelry, use soft pouches or velvet-lined boxes to avoid scratches.
4. Preventing Tarnish and Fading​
-
Avoid exposing all jewelry to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine, bleach, or sulfur-containing products.
-
Gold-plated and rose gold-plated jewelry should be kept away from moisture and cleaned regularly to maintain the plating.
5. Professional Maintenance
-
Have your jewelry professionally polished and inspected annually to maintain its shine and ensure its settings are secure.
-
For pieces with intricate designs or gemstones, consult a professional jeweler for specialized cleaning.
6. Handling with Care
-
Always handle your jewelry with clean, dry hands.
-
Avoid pulling or tugging on delicate chains or clasps to prevent breakage.
-
Gold-plated and rose gold-plated jewelry should be handled gently to avoid scratching the surface.
Additional Tips
-
Regularly inspect your jewelry for signs of wear or damage, such as loose stones or clasps.
-
Consider removing your jewelry before sleeping to avoid accidental damage.
