To preserve its beauty over time, it's essential to follow certain cleaning and maintenance recommendations. In this guide, we explain how to clean your jewelry, protect your gemstones, and prevent wear and tear .

1. How to Clean Your Jewelry Properly

Daily wear, contact with chemicals, and exposure to air can cause jewelry to lose its shine. Here are some tips for cleaning jewelry based on its material:

• Gold jewelry : Clean with a soft cloth and a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive products that can damage the finish.
• Silver jewelry : To prevent tarnishing, store it in a dry place and use a special silver cloth. If it's tarnished, a paste of baking soda and water can restore its shine.
• Gold-plated jewelry : It is more delicate, so you should only clean it with a soft, dry cloth, without rubbing too much.

2. How to Care for Precious and Semiprecious Stones

Natural stones add character and energy to each piece, but they require specific care:

• Avoid impacts : Stones can chip or break with sudden impacts. Store your jewelry separately to avoid friction.
• Do not expose them to chemicals : Perfumes, creams and cleaning products can damage their surface or alter their color.
• Clean them with a soft cloth : Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove residue without damaging them.
