Care Guide
Taking care of pearl and gold-filled jewelry involves a few specific steps to ensure they remain beautiful and in good condition over time. Here’s a guide on how to care for both types of jewelry:
Pearl Jewelry Care
Keep pearls away from chemicals: Pearls are sensitive to chemicals found in perfumes, hairsprays, and cosmetics. Always apply these products before putting on your pearl jewelry.
Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause pearls to become dry and brittle. Store them in a jewelry box or pouch away from sunlight when not wearing.
Store properly: Pearls are best stored separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches. Store them in a soft pouch or wrapped in a clean, soft cloth.
Clean gently: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe pearls after wearing to remove any oils or dirt. For deeper cleaning, dampen the cloth slightly with water and mild soap (such as baby shampoo). Avoid soaking pearls, as it can weaken the silk thread
Gold-Filled Jewelry Care
Avoid abrasive materials: When cleaning gold-filled jewelry, avoid abrasive materials such as toothbrushes or rough cloths that can scratch the surface.
Keep away from moisture: Remove gold-filled jewelry before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities that expose it to moisture. Water and chemicals can tarnish the gold layer over time.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Similar to pearls, avoid exposing gold-filled jewelry to harsh chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and cleaning products
Clean gently: Use a soft cloth to gently wipe gold-filled jewelry after each use to remove oils and dirt. For deeper cleaning, mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water and soak the jewelry briefly. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Store properly: Store gold-filled jewelry in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Consider storing it in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratching and tangling with other pieces.
