How to care for silver, pearls, and gemstones: simple and gentle

Jewelry made from precious materials has a special character.
925 sterling silver, natural pearls, and gemstones retain their beauty much longer when given delicate care.

Following simple rules helps preserve the metal's shine, the gemstones' clarity, and the pearls' natural texture for many years.


Avoid contact with water and excessive moisture

Even high-quality 925 sterling silver can gradually lose its luster when exposed to water and moisture, and pearls can change their surface.

It is recommended to remove jewelry before:

• showering or bathing
• visiting a sauna or swimming pool
• washing hands or dishes
• exercising

Moisture can penetrate microscopic gaps between jewelry components and, over time, accelerate the natural tarnishing of silver or affect the structure of gemstones.


Cosmetics and perfumes — before jewelry

There's a simple rule of jewelry etiquette: jewelry is the final touch to your look.

Cosmetics, perfumes, and creams can contain components that affect metal and gemstones.
They can gradually alter the surface's luster, make gemstones less transparent, or affect the natural structure of pearls.

Therefore, it is recommended to apply cosmetics and perfumes before putting on jewelry.

This small ritual helps preserve their flawless appearance.


Delicate cleaning

To maintain the natural shine of 925 sterling silver, it is sufficient to periodically wipe jewelry with a soft, dry cloth.

The best options are:

• microfiber
• a special silver polishing cloth

It is not recommended to use abrasive cleaners or rough fabrics, which can leave micro-scratches on the metal surface.

For additional care, you can use special products designed specifically for 925 sterling silver.


The delicacy of pearls

Pearls are one of the most delicate natural materials in jewelry art.

They can react to:

• dry air
• direct sunlight
• chemical compounds in cosmetics

Therefore, it is recommended to put on pearls after all cosmetic procedures and remove them before sleeping, storing them separately from other jewelry.


The main rule

The best jewelry is worn jewelry.

925 sterling silver reacts to skin warmth, movement, and touch.
It is when worn that the metal retains its natural luster and the living energy of the material.

Jewelry is not made to remain in a box, but to be a part of your life.

Careful upkeep and regular wearing allow them to maintain their beauty for many years.
