How to Care for Your Jewelry

Jewelry care and recommendations for cleaning and storing your jewelry. This list is not all inclusive and only provides warnings for some of the most common improper practices used to clean jewelry.

For best results, store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, such as in a sealed bag. This will help prevent both tarnishing and scratching by other pieces.

To care for your jewelry and keep it clean and ready to wear, gently wipe off excess make-up and skin oils after each wearing. Use a nub free, 100% cotton cloth and gently wipe the piece. Store in jeweler's tissue or a soft bag.

Be very careful when using any soaking method to clean jewelry that has stones. Extended soaking in any solution may harm the polish on the stone. Never use chlorine bleach to clean jewelry.

To remove excessive tarnish, polish with a 100% cotton cloth and a good nonabrasive metal cleaner. Be sure to remove any remnants of the cleaner from gemstones and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Never use toothpaste!
