Jewelry care made easy: 7 tips for long-lasting shine

Whether delicate costume jewelry or eye-catching statement pieces, your favorite pieces need a little attention in your daily life to ensure they last a long time. In this article, we'll show you 7 simple yet effective tips on how to properly care for your jewelry, avoid discoloration, and enjoy it for a long time.

1. No contact with water

Showering, bathing, or swimming? It's better to go without jewelry! Water—especially with soap, salt, or chlorine—can attack the surface of your jewelry and cause unsightly discoloration.

2. Jewelry and sweat – not a good combination

You should avoid wearing jewelry during sporting activities. Sweat attacks many materials and can lead to discoloration.

3. Perfume, creams & co. – please keep your distance

Skincare products contain ingredients that can settle on your jewelry and make it appear dull. Don't wear jewelry until the cream and perfume have been absorbed.

4. Proper storage protects against damage

Store your jewelry in a dark, dry, and soft place—preferably in a jewelry box or organza bag. This will protect the surface.

5. Jewelry comes last

Outfit first, then accessories: This prevents your jewelry from getting caught on clothing or damaged.

6. Remove jewelry while cleaning

Cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that can damage your jewelry. Therefore, remove them before cleaning.

7. Avoid sun – for color fidelity

Prolonged exposure to sunlight or tanning beds can cause discoloration. It's best to store jewelry in the shade. Of course, you can still wear your jewelry in the summer. 🌞

Just make sure – for your jewelry and your skin – that you don't stay in the blazing sun for too long.

Conclusion

With these simple tips, you can care for your jewelry, prevent damage, and significantly extend its lifespan. Small habits – big impact! 💫
