Your accessories are more than just adornments—they’re an extension of your style and personality. At Moonhalt & Co., we craft timeless pieces designed to shine with you, but even the most beautiful jewelry needs a little care to maintain its sparkle. Follow these practical tips to keep your accessories looking as stunning as the day you got them
1. Clean Your Jewelry Regularly
Regular cleaning helps remove dirt, oils, and buildup that can dull the shine of your accessories.
Simple Cleaning Steps:
- Gold and Silver Jewelry: Use a soft cloth to gently wipe your pieces after wearing. For a deeper clean, soak them in warm, soapy water for a few minutes and gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
- Gemstone Jewelry: Wipe with a damp cloth to avoid loosening stones. Avoid soaking gemstone pieces, as some stones are sensitive to water.
- Costume Jewelry: Use a soft cloth or cotton swab to clean gently, avoiding water to prevent damage to any glue or plating.
Tip: Avoid harsh chemicals, such as bleach or ammonia, which can damage metals and stones.
2. Store Your Jewelry Properly
Proper storage is essential to prevent tangling, scratching, and tarnishing.
Storage Tips:
- Use Separate Compartments: Keep each piece in its own compartment or pouch to avoid scratches.
- Anti-Tarnish Strips: Place anti-tarnish strips in your jewelry box to help slow down tarnishing on silver pieces.
- Hanging Storage: Store necklaces on hooks or hangers to prevent tangling.
Tip: Avoid storing jewelry in humid areas like bathrooms. Moisture can accelerate tarnishing.
3. Handle with Care
How you wear and handle your jewelry can impact its longevity.
Dos and Don’ts:
- Do: Put your jewelry on last, after applying makeup, perfume, or hairspray to avoid chemical exposure.
- Do: Remove jewelry before physical activities like exercising, swimming, or cleaning.
- Don’t: Sleep in your jewelry, as it can cause damage or deformation over time.
Tip: Remove rings and bracelets before using lotions or hand sanitizers to prevent buildup.
4. Know Your Materials
Different materials require different care methods. Understanding what your jewelry is made of can help you care for it properly.
- Gold and Gold-Plated Jewelry: Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and storing in a fabric pouch is best. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Sterling Silver: Regular polishing with a silver cloth helps prevent tarnish.
- Pearls: Wipe pearls with a soft, damp cloth after each wear and store them in a soft pouch to maintain their luster.
Tip: Always check for care instructions specific to your jewelry type.
5. Schedule Professional Maintenance
Sometimes, professional care is necessary to keep your jewelry in top condition.
- Polishing and Resizing: Visit a jeweler periodically for professional polishing or resizing.
- Stone Inspection: Check settings regularly to ensure gemstones are secure and won’t fall out.
Tip: If you notice discoloration or damage, consult a professional jeweler for repair or advice.
