At Joe the Jeweler, we provide a comprehensive Jewelry Care Guide to help keep your jewelry looking beautiful for years to come. By following a few simple care practices, you can protect your treasured pieces from unnecessary wear and damage.
- Apply makeup, perfume, and hairspray before putting on your jewelry to minimize exposure to chemicals.
- Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or using a hot tub to protect it from moisture and harsh chemicals.
- Store each piece separately in a soft cloth or jewelry pouch to prevent scratches. Avoid leather cases and plastic bags for long-term storage.
- Take off your jewelry before performing household chores, gardening, or other activities that could cause damage.
- Clean your jewelry regularly using warm water and a small amount of ammonia when appropriate. Never use bleach, and avoid cleaning jewelry that is already damaged.
- Bring your jewelry to Joe the Jeweler periodically for professional inspection and maintenance to help identify wear before it becomes a costly repair.
