How to Care for Your Jewelry: A Complete Customer Guide

Your jewelry is more than just an accessory—it’s a reflection of your style, personality, and special moments. Whether it’s sterling silver, gold-plated, or adorned with cubic zirconia, proper care will keep it shining for years to come. Here’s how to take care of your Brightstone Jewelers pieces the right way.

1. Keep It Dry

Moisture is the enemy of sparkle. Always remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes. Water and chemicals can dull the finish or affect the setting.

2. Store It Properly

Store your jewelry in a soft pouch or a fabric-lined box to prevent scratches and tarnishing. If you’re storing multiple pieces, keep them separated to avoid tangling or rubbing against each other.

3. Clean It Gently

Use a soft cloth or a special jewelry cleaning cloth to gently wipe your jewelry after each wear. For a deeper clean, mix a little mild soap with warm water and use a soft toothbrush to remove buildup—especially around stones.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Keep your jewelry away from cleaning products, perfumes, and hairspray. These substances can damage finishes or loosen settings, especially on delicate cubic zirconia or plated pieces.

5. Wear With Care

Jewelry should be the last thing you put on before leaving the house—and the first thing you take off when you return. This small habit makes a big difference in preserving its shine and structure.

Bonus Tip: Travel Smart

When traveling, use a travel jewelry case with secure compartments. If you’re bringing only a few pieces, wrap them in a soft cloth and tuck them into a zippered pouch.
