How to Maintain the Shine and Beauty of Your Accessories

Jewelry is not just an accessory; it is a special symbol of style and elegance. To keep your favorite pieces from GLEAMIRA looking flawless for years, proper care is essential. In this guide, we will explain how to preserve the brilliance of your precious jewelry and prevent damage.

1. Why is Jewelry Care Important?

Even the highest-quality jewelry can lose its shine due to dust, moisture, cosmetics, or exposure to chemicals. Regular cleaning and proper storage help maintain their appearance and longevity.

2. How to Clean Jewelry Properly?

Silver

Silver jewelry can tarnish due to exposure to air and moisture. To restore its shine:

  • Use a soft cloth or a special polishing wipe.
  •  For deep cleaning, mix warm water with a few drops of liquid soap, soak the       jewelry for 10 minutes, then gently clean it with a soft brush.
  • Avoid contact with harsh detergents and chlorinated water.

Gold

Gold pieces are easy to clean, but they can lose their luster due to contact with creams or perfumes:

  • Soak the jewelry in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes.
  • Wipe them with a soft brush or cloth.
  • Use special jewelry polishing wipes for extra shine.

Gemstones & Pearls

Precious stones and pearls require special care:

  • Clean them only with a damp cloth without alcohol or harsh chemicals.
  • Store pearls separately to prevent scratches.
  • Avoid exposure to perfumes and hairsprays on natural gemstone jewelry.

3. How to Store Jewelry Properly?

  • Keep pieces separate to prevent scratching.
  • Use a soft jewelry box or velvet pouches.
  • Avoid storing them in humid places (such as the bathroom).
  • Check the settings of gemstones every few months to prevent them from becoming loose.

4. What to Avoid?

  • Do not leave jewelry in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
  • Remove jewelry before bathing, washing dishes, or cleaning.
  • Do not apply perfume, creams, or hairspray directly onto your jewelry.

5. When to Seek Professional Help?

If your jewelry requires deep cleaning, repairs, or polishing, it is best to consult a professional jeweler. GLEAMIRA recommends professional cleaning once a year to maintain the perfect appearance of your favorite accessories.

Proper jewelry care will help you keep its brilliance for years to come. Follow these tips, and your pieces will always look as if you just purchased them from GLEAMIRA!
