Spring Cleaning Your Jewelry Box: Care and Maintenance Tips from Clodius & Co. March 18, 2024
The 3 Cs of Jewelry Care: Clean, Care, and Consistency
Cleaning your jewelry should be done regularly to ensure it remains sparkling and bright. However, not all methods are safe for every type of jewelry. For instance, a diamond ring can withstand more cleaning than a pearl necklace. Likewise, silver jewelry requires different care than gold or platinum pieces. Therefore, it's essential to know what materials your jewelry is made from before starting the cleaning process. Generally, mild dish soap a soft tooth brush and warm water are safe for most jewelry types. Still, if you're not confident about how to clean yours safely, you can always bring it to us, and we'll take care of it for you!
Store Your Jewelry Properly
When it comes to storing your jewelry, keeping it organized and cared for correctly is imperative. The ideal way to store your jewelry is to keep them in a box with dividers to prevent them from scratching each other. Also, avoid storing your jewelry in humid areas, as metals may tarnish or discolor. We should remove this, we don’t offer this service that I’m aware of.
