Keeping Your Jewelry Sparkling Forever
At HIM & HERS, we want your jewelry to be treasured keepsakes that tell your love story for years to come. Here are some tips to ensure your pieces stay radiant:
- Gentle Does It: Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. A mild dish soap and warm water solution is your best friend. For delicate pieces like pearls, use a soft brush or a clean makeup brush.
- Dry Thoroughly: Don't let water linger! After cleaning, pat your jewelry dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. This will prevent water spots and maintain shine.
- Store Smartly: Keep your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Fabric-lined boxes or zip-lock bags with anti-tarnish tabs are ideal. Storing silver jewelry in a separate pouch can prevent tarnishing from contact with other metals.
- Know Your Materials: Different gemstones require specific care. For instance, ultrasonic cleaning is safe for some stones but not for pearls or opals. Always consult with us or a jeweler for cleaning recommendations for gemstones.
- Love, Then Polish: Apply cosmetics, lotions, and perfumes before putting on your jewelry. These products can build up on the surface and dull the shine. Give your pieces a gentle buff with a polishing cloth after wearing them for extended periods.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure your jewelry continues to sparkle and tell your love story for generations to come. If you have any specific questions about caring for your pieces, don't hesitate to contact us! We're always happy to help.
