We all have those jewelry pieces that make us feel extra special, don’t we?
Whether it’s a delicate sterling silver necklace or a gemstone ring that sparkles just right, these treasures deserve the best care to keep shining for years to come.
Luckily, taking care of your sterling silver and gemstone jewelry doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs a little extra love.
1. Store It Right
Sterling silver is stunning, but it’s also prone to tarnishing if left exposed to air for too long.
Always keep your silver jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in a soft pouch or a ziplock bag to avoid exposure to moisture.
At Cherie Lueur we give you a free ziplock bag for you to store your beautiful pieces.
And remember, gemstones like amethyst, garnet, and citrine can scratch easily, so make sure your jewelry isn’t rubbing against other pieces.
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Perfume, hairspray, and household cleaning products can dull the shine of both silver and gemstones.
Always remove your jewelry before using any of these, and give your jewelry a quick wipe-down before storing it after wearing.
At Cherie Lueur we give you a free micro fibre cloth just for this purpose to make things easy for you.
Trust me, it makes a world of difference!
3. Keep it Dry
Water isn’t always a friend to your jewelry.
While it may be tempting to wear your favorite ring in the shower or pool, it’s best to take it off.
Moisture can speed up tarnishing for silver and can even affect certain gemstones.
A quick tip? Pop it off before swimming, showering, or even washing dishes.
4. Gentle Cleaning Only
When your silver starts to lose its sparkle, give it a gentle clean.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface and restore its shine. If it needs a deeper clean, a mix of mild soap and warm water can do wonders, just make sure to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that might damage the metal or stones.
5. Show Some Extra Love to Your Gemstones
Gemstones are delicate, so treat them with care. Some stones (like opals and pearls) can be sensitive to heat and chemicals, while others (like diamonds) can handle a bit more.
When cleaning gemstones, a soft cloth and warm water usually do the trick, but if you’re unsure, it’s always safe to check how your specific stone likes to be treated.
With just a little extra care, your sterling silver and gemstone jewelry will stay as beautiful as the day you got it.
At Cherie Lueur, we believe jewelry isn’t just for special occasions, it’s meant to be worn and loved every day, so keeping it in tip-top shape is all part of the fun!
