At NOVII, we understand that your jewelry holds sentimental and monetary value. To help you maintain the beauty and longevity of your treasured pieces, we have compiled a comprehensive care guide. Whether you own necklaces, rings, earrings, or bracelets made of silver 925 or gold/silver-plated stainless steel, these tips will ensure your jewelry remains radiant for years to come.
General Care:
1.1. Remove Jewelry Before Activities: To prevent damage or loss, take off your jewelry before engaging in activities such as exercising, swimming, gardening, or cleaning.
1.2. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products can tarnish or corrode jewelry. Apply cosmetics and scents before wearing your jewelry, and remove it before using any chemicals.
1.3. Store Jewelry Properly: Store each piece individually in a soft, lined jewelry box or pouch provided to avoid scratches and tangling. Separate gold and silver jewelry to prevent chemical reactions between the metals.
Caring for Silver 925 Jewelry:
2.1. Prevent Tarnishing: Silver naturally tarnishes over time. To slow down the process, keep silver jewelry away from moisture, humidity, and direct sunlight. Consider using anti-tarnish strips or airtight containers for storage.
2.2. Cleaning Silver: Polish your silver 925 jewelry gently using a specialized silver polishing cloth or a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using tissues or paper towels as they may scratch the metal.
2.3. Silver Plated Jewelry: Follow the same care instructions as silver 925, but be aware that silver plating may wear off over time. To maintain the plating, avoid excessive rubbing during cleaning.
Caring for Gold Jewelry
3.1. Avoid Abrasion: Gold is a soft metal, so store gold jewelry in separate compartments to prevent scratches. Remove gold jewelry before engaging in physical activities that could cause damage.
3.2. Cleaning Gold: Clean gold jewelry regularly using a mild detergent diluted in warm water. Gently scrub with a soft brush, rinse with clean water, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
3.3. Avoid Chemical Exposure: Remove gold jewelry before swimming in chlorinated pools or using harsh chemicals, as they can discolor or damage the metal.
Caring for Stainless Steel Jewelry:
4.1. Keep Away from Moisture: Stainless steel is highly resistant to tarnish, but it can still corrode over time if exposed to excessive moisture. Wipe stainless steel jewelry dry after contact with water or sweat.
4.2. Gentle Cleaning: Use mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth to clean stainless steel jewelry. Avoid abrasive materials or cleansers that can scratch the surface.
4.3. Preserve Plating: If your stainless steel jewelry is gold or silver plated, handle it with care to prevent the plating from wearing off. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods.
