Jewelry is a prized possession and a valuable investment, so taking care of it is essential. Fine jewelry pieces often become family heirlooms and are designed to last more than a lifetime. To preserve their condition and value, regular simple maintenance is necessary.

Here are a few tips to keep your precious pieces as beautiful and shiny as the day you got them:

Limit Contact

Direct contact with cosmetics like perfume, make-up, body cream, chlorine, and hair spray can dull the finish of metals and the shine of gemstones. Exposure to salt water and other harsh chemicals can also discolor gold and silver. Ensure your jewelry is the last thing you put on while getting ready and the first thing you remove during your nightly routine.

Store Safely & Separately

When several jewelry items are stored together, they can easily scratch each other and may even damage stones. Chains or bracelets can also easily tangle.

To minimize damage, store your jewelry pieces in separate jewelry boxes or pouches. This also saves time when selecting your items. While traveling, pack your jewelry carefully in original jewelry boxes.

Use Jewelry Boxes for Storage

The Solace Jewelry boxes and pouches your pieces come with are designed with soft lining and padding to protect your jewelry from contact with hard surfaces. These boxes and pouches prevent your precious jewelry pieces from scratching, tarnishing, and breaking.

Remove When Not Needed

Wearing your jewelry while sleeping or during physical activities may cause damage to you or your jewelry. Stones can become dislodged or chipped, and settings can be damaged from impact. Chains can easily break when put under stress. If you prefer to wear your jewelry at all times, be careful while wearing it and clean the pieces often.

Handle Jewelry with Care

Clean your jewelry regularly after each use with a clean, soft cloth. Be extra careful with your jewelry while handling it to ensure you do not drop or knock items against hard surfaces, as this could damage the structure of the piece.

At-Home Jewelry Cleaning Instructions

• Gently scrub each piece of jewelry with a soft toothbrush using a mix of a drop of mild dish soap and warm water to remove dirt and oils.
• After cleaning, dry the piece with a soft cloth.

Following these simple care tips will help keep your Solace Jewelry pieces looking stunning for years to come.
