- Clean Regularly: Use a soft cloth to gently wipe your sterling silver jewelry.
- Avoid Tarnishing: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to air, moisture, and chemicals (like perfumes or lotions).
- Polishing: Use a silver polishing cloth to restore shine.
2. Gold-Plated Sterling Silver
- Gentle Handling: Gold plating can wear over time. Avoid excessive scratching or contact with water.
- Storage: Keep in a fabric-lined box or pouch to prevent tarnish and scratches.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to keep the surface clean. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals.
3. Moissanite
- Regular Cleaning: Clean with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush to keep the brilliance.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Moissanite is durable but can be damaged by harsh chemicals, so avoid contact with cleaning products, chlorine, and bleach.
- Safe Storage: Store separately to prevent scratching.
4. Stainless Steel
- Simple Maintenance: Wipe with a soft cloth to remove dirt or oils.
- Avoid Scratching: While stainless steel is durable, it's best to avoid rough contact with other metals or abrasive surfaces.
- Water Resistance: Stainless steel is water-resistant, but try to avoid long-term exposure to water to keep your jewelry looking its best.
5. Titanium Steel
- Low Maintenance: Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion, so you don't need to worry about tarnishing.
- Wipe Down: Clean with a soft cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and warm water.
- Scratch Resistance: While very durable, titanium can still get scratched, so store carefully.
6. Natural Stones & Gemstone Jewelry
- Handle with Care: Natural stones and gemstones can be delicate. Avoid dropping them or exposing them to extreme pressure.
- Cleaning: Gently clean with a damp cloth (avoid harsh chemicals). For more sensitive stones (like turquoise or opals), use a soft, dry cloth instead.
- Avoid Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade some gemstones over time.
- Store Separately: To avoid scratches, store each piece in a soft pouch or jewelry box.
