Jewelry care basics
3 min read · Petal Charms
Delicate jewelry likes gentle habits. A few simple steps help your pieces look good day to day.
These are the care steps we list on our product pages.
Keep it dry
Take your jewelry off to swim, shower or sleep. Water and steam are best kept away from jewelry.
If it gets wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth right away. The Birth Flower Name Necklace lists its care note on the page.
Wipe it softly
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe your pieces after wearing. Skip rough cloths and harsh cleaners.
Put your jewelry on after lotion and perfume, not before. This keeps the finish clear of products.
Store it apart
Keep each piece in a pouch or a box with slots, so chains do not tangle and charms do not rub. See our storing delicate jewelry guide.
Pieces like the link chain bracelet are best stored with the clasp closed. Gentle habits are the simplest thing you can do.
Build a small routine
Pick one spot, like a small dish by the door, where your jewelry goes at the end of the day. Wipe each piece, let it air for a minute, then put it away. A short routine you can repeat is easier to keep than a long one. Check the clasps now and then.
