Cherishing Your Semi-Precious Treasures: A Guide to Everyday Wear and Maintenance
Like a magic spell, most gemstone jewelry can endure the everyday hustle, but a touch of care is the key.
-
When donning a stretch bracelet, roll it onto your wrist with a gentle enchantment—avoid pulling it outward, lest you stretch the elastic into a wonky dance.
-
Before delving into domestic wizardry, remove your jewelry—household cleaners wield corrosive potions that may cast a lasting spell on your precious gems.
-
Steer clear of wearing your treasures during manual alchemy or water conjuring tasks; both may play mischief on your jewelry's longevity.
-
Dive into a pool of precaution by removing your adornments before swimming or showering. Chlorine, soapy spells, and water immersion might cast a shadow on your gemstones' luster.
-
Even as you embark on dreamland adventures, part ways with your jewelry. Sleep's nightly dance may cast a strain on your treasures, risking a break or a loose embrace.
-
Wait for the magic of your perfumes and potions to settle before adorning yourself—premature pairing may unravel the stones' charm.
-
For their enchanted slumber, tuck your jewels away in a dark realm, shielded from the sunlight's fading powers. A pouch, ziplock bag, or jewelry box shall be their magical cocoon, guarding against both the wicked sun and the mischievous tarnish of the air's humidity."
Maintenace Guidelines for your Precious Pieces
Silver Sparkles:
Silver, prone to a shadowy tarnish, craves a gentle touch. Polish it lovingly with a jewelry cloth, toothpaste, or embrace the standard silver polish for a radiant revival.
​
Copper's Patina Dance:
Copper, a natural performer, adorns itself with a distinctive patina. An inherent beauty, not a flaw. If the patina isn't your style, standard copper polish will restore its original shine.
​
Brass's Time-Tested Charm:
Brass, with its tendency to tarnish, gifts a greenish patina - a natural adornment adding character. Preserve this charm by cleaning with soap and warm water, wiping gently with a soft cloth. If you're not a fan of the patina, a polishing cloth or a lemon-water mixture can work wonders. Submerge, wait, gently brush away tarnish, rinse, and wipe dry.
​
Gemstone Guardians:
Handle polishes and tarnish removers with care around your gemstones to prevent dullness and fading. A soft cloth is your gem's best friend – wiping gently ensures a lasting glow.
​
Sensitive Stones:
Some gemstones are averse to water, so keeping them dry is the key. A gentle wipe with a soft cloth adds a touch of care without compromising their brilliance.
