The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Jewelry: Everyday Maintenance Tips

Jewelry is more than just an accessory—it's an expression of personal style and often, treasured memories. Whether it's the bold Anais Statement Earrings, the timeless Ella Earrings, or your favorite gold-plated necklace from House of Royal, keeping your pieces radiant requires a bit of know-how and regular TLC.

 

Step-by-Step Cleaning for Different Jewelry Types

 

 

Gold-Plated Jewelry

Routine Cleaning:

  • Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
  • For a deeper clean, soak the piece in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 5-10 minutes.
  • Gently dab crevices with a Q-tip or soft cloth—never use abrasive brushes.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry thoroughly.

Pro Tip: Avoid moisture and chemicals like perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents—put your jewelry on last when getting ready and take it off first at night.

 

Silver Jewelry

 

House of Royal's collections often include silver-toned statement pieces.

Routine Cleaning:

  • Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water.
  • Soak silver items for five minutes, then gently clean with a soft toothbrush.
  • Rinse and dry completely with a lint-free cloth.
  • For stubborn tarnish, use a silver cleaning solution or consult a professional—never use paper towels or tissues, as they can scratch.

Storage: Store in anti-tarnish bags or soft cloth pouches, away from sunlight and moisture. Remove silver pieces before swimming or showering.

 

Gemstone & Statement Jewelry

Routine Cleaning:

  • Use only warm water and a soft cloth. Many gemstones are delicate and can be damaged by chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.
  • Avoid direct exposure to perfumes, sprays, and household products.

 

Storing Your Jewelry: Best Practices

 

  • Separate each piece: Use a jewelry box with compartments, or keep each item in its own pouch to prevent tangling and scratching.
  • Keep it dry: Store in a cool, dry place. Humidity accelerates tarnish, especially for silver and gold-plated items.
  • Avoid airflow: Airtight containers or anti-tarnish cloth bags help prevent oxidation.

 

Everyday Maintenance Do's and Don'ts

 

Do:

  • Clean pieces gently and regularly after use.
  • Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.

Take off rings and bracelets before applying lotions or cleaning the house.

 

Don't:

  • Exposure to harsh chemicals or household cleaners.
  • Store in bathrooms or other humid environments.
  • Stack pieces together without protection.
