Jewelry Care Tips

At LucentEMarket, we believe that proper care can help your jewelry retain its beauty and last for years. Follow these simple tips to keep your jewelry looking as stunning as the day you bought it.

1. Store Jewelry Properly

  • Separate Storage: Store each piece of jewelry in its own compartment or a soft pouch to avoid scratches and tangling.
  • Avoid Humidity: Keep your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or humidity, as moisture can cause tarnishing.

2. Avoid Contact with Chemicals

  • Remove your jewelry when using perfumes, lotions, hairspray, or cleaning products, as these chemicals can damage the finish or cause discoloration.
  • Avoid wearing jewelry in chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as chlorine can weaken and discolor metals.

3. Put Jewelry on Last

  • Always wear your jewelry after you've finished getting ready. Apply lotions, makeup, and perfumes before putting on your pieces to prevent residue buildup.

4. Clean Your Jewelry Regularly

  • Gold and Silver Jewelry: Clean with a soft cloth or a mild soap solution to remove dirt and oil. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
  • Plated Jewelry: Gently wipe your plated jewelry with a soft, damp cloth to maintain its shine. Avoid excessive rubbing as it can wear away the plating.
  • Gemstone Jewelry: Clean with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid chemicals that may harm delicate stones.

5. Handle with Care

  • Avoid dropping your jewelry, as it may chip or crack gemstones, loosen settings, or cause other damage.
  • When removing rings, pull them off gently from the sides rather than yanking them off by the stone, which could weaken the setting.

6. Regular Inspection

  • Periodically check your jewelry for loose stones, worn clasps, or bent prongs. Early detection can prevent further damage or loss of precious stones.

7. Remove Jewelry Before Activities

  • Remove your jewelry before engaging in strenuous activities such as exercising, swimming, or cooking to avoid unnecessary exposure to sweat, chemicals, or physical damage.

8. Travel with Care

  • When traveling, pack your jewelry in a soft, padded jewelry case to prevent scratches and damage during transport.
