Tips to keep your jewelry from tarnishing

When you first purchase them, you just obsess on how beautiful, shiny and delicate your jewelry pieces are and you want them to stay like this forever. We get you and this is why we have prepared a list of tips to keep them sparkling just like they were when you first bought them.

 

Put water-based lotion before you wear your jewels

Fragrance-free and water-based lotion formulas keep a barrier between your skin and jewelry, preventing the skin to be in contact with the jewels. If applied in a very thin layer, it can be the best protection.  

 

Avoid contact with other products

Makeup, shampoo, perfume and every other single beauty product that may contain chemicals should be avoided, because some metals react differently and can start turning into green and black in seconds. 

Whether made of gold, silver, or a mix of metals, just try to go through your hair and makeup routines before you put the jewelry.

Clean your jewelry with homemade cleansers

You can make your own cleansers with: baking soda, salt, and water combined with other safe ingredients, depending on the recipe you choose to follow respectively with the type and color of your jewelry. Let the jewels dry after soaking them or cleaning them with a microfiber, and of course without any tissue contact.
