How To Care For Your Jewelry At Home
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) recommends professional cleanings and inspections for jewelry every 6 months to a year. In between visits, there are things you can do to help keep your jewelry looking its best.
Dos
- Put your jewelry on last; after applying lotion, perfume, hairspray, or makeup.
- Store jewelry in a clean, dry place, ideally in individual soft pouches or lined compartments.
- Wipe pieces gently with a soft polishing cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
- Take off rings before washing hands, cooking, or applying skincare.
- Schedule professional cleanings and inspections at least once a year for secure stones and clasps.
- Use mild soap and warm water for occasional at-home cleaning (avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners unless advised).
- Some jewelry needs to be kept away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent damage or fading.
Don'ts
- Don’t wear jewelry while swimming. Chlorine and saltwater can damage metal and loosen settings.
- Don’t wear jewelry while exercising, showering, gardening or doing household chores.
- Don’t use toothpaste, baking soda, or abrasive cleaners on precious metals or gemstones.
- Don’t tangle necklaces or layer fragile chains without care. Separate them when storing.
- Don’t expose porous gems (like pearls, opals, or turquoise) to chemicals or prolonged moisture.
- Don’t store fine jewelry in the bathroom or near sinks where humidity can accelerate tarnish.
- Don’t sleep in your jewelry. Overnight friction and pressure can weaken settings, stretch chains, and dull finishes.
