Jewelry Care Guide
Your jewelry is a unique reflection of your personal style, and just like you, it deserves some extra care to maintain its beauty. Whether your Ambrin Bijoux pieces are made of silver, gold, or delicate stones like pearls and jade, here’s how to keep them looking as stunning as the day you got them.
General Jewelry Care Tips
- Handle with Care: Every piece of Ambrin jewelry is a handmade work of art, with unique variations in stones and craftsmanship. Treat your jewelry with love, as each piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
- Avoid Exposure: Take off your jewelry before activities like swimming, cleaning, or exercising. Harsh chemicals found in chlorine, perfumes, and hairsprays can damage or dull your jewelry.
- Store Safely: Keep your jewelry in a dry, safe place when not wearing it. Use soft pouches or individual compartments to avoid scratches. Anti-tarnish strips are a great way to protect silver from oxidation.
How to Care for Silver Jewelry
- Daily Wear for Shine: Regularly wearing your silver jewelry helps maintain its shine, as natural skin oils provide a protective layer.
- Keep Away from Moisture: Avoid wearing silver in water or during activities that cause excessive sweating. Moisture can lead to tarnishing.
- Prevent Tarnish: Store your silver pieces in airtight containers, like small plastic bags or a jewelry box, to limit exposure to air and moisture.
- Clean & Restore: If your silver tarnishes, clean it with a mild toothpaste and a soft brush, then rinse and dry. Regular use of a silver polishing cloth can keep it gleaming.
Caring for Pearls, Jade, and Other Delicate Stones
- Pearls: Pearls are delicate and should be wiped gently with a soft cloth after each wear. Avoid exposing them to perfumes, hand sanitizers, and other chemicals, which can damage their surface.
- Jade: Wipe jade jewelry with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid chemicals and sharp impacts. Store it separately to avoid scratches.
- Opals & Turquoise: These stones are porous and sensitive to chemicals. Clean them with a soft cloth and avoid temperature extremes.
Caring for Gold-Plated & Brass Jewelry
- Gold-Plated Jewelry: Avoid polishing gold-plated pieces, as it can remove the plating. Instead, gently wipe them clean with a soft cloth to preserve their shine.
- Brass Jewelry: Some people may experience mild skin reactions from brass, such as a temporary tint. If this happens, feel free to contact us for assistance.
Storage & Post-Wear Care Tips
- Protect from Moisture: Moisture can tarnish your jewelry. Store your pieces in a dry environment, using jewelry boxes or pouches. Adding anti-tarnish strips can offer extra protection.
- After-Wear Routine: After wearing your jewelry, give it a gentle wipe to remove oils or moisture. For extra protection, consider using a jewelry protection spray.
