Jewelry Care Guide
At tothemetal, we want your beautiful pieces to last a lifetime. Follow these care instructions to keep your jewelry looking its best.
General Care Tips
- Store each piece separately to prevent scratching.
- Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, or doing household chores.
- Put your jewelry on last when getting dressed and take it off first when undressing.
- Avoid exposing jewelry to harsh chemicals, including perfumes and cleaning products.
Gold Jewelry
Gold is durable but can scratch easily.
- Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft brush.
- Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use a jewelry cleaner specifically designed for gold.
Silver Jewelry
Silver can tarnish when exposed to air and moisture.
- Polish with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove tarnish.
- For heavier tarnish, use a silver polishing cloth or silver cleaner.
- Store in an airtight container or bag to prevent tarnishing.
Gemstone Jewelry
Different gemstones require different care. Here are general guidelines:
- Clean with mild soap and warm water.
- Use a soft brush to gently clean around the setting.
- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless you're sure it's safe for your specific gemstone.
Tip: Some gemstones (like pearls, opals, and emeralds) are more delicate and require special care. Always check the care instructions specific to your gemstone.
Pearl Jewelry
Pearls are delicate and require special care.
- Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth after wearing.
- Never use ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, or harsh chemicals.
- Store pearls separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching.
- Restring pearl necklaces periodically to prevent breakage.
