Your jewelry is made to add beauty, meaning, and sparkle to everyday moments. With proper care, you can help preserve its shine, shape, and delicate details for longer. Follow these simple jewelry care tips from MYJEWR to keep your favorite pieces looking their best.
Although jewelry is designed to be worn and enjoyed, certain activities may increase the risk of scratches, discoloration, loose stones, or surface damage. To protect your jewelry, we recommend removing it before the following activities.
Avoid wearing jewelry during workouts, sports, or weight training. Gripping equipment, lifting weights, or making sudden movements may place pressure on rings, bracelets, necklaces, or earrings. Hard contact may scratch the surface, loosen stones, bend delicate parts, or damage the plating.
Soil, tools, rocks, and rough surfaces can scratch metal, affect stone settings, or cause chains and delicate details to catch. Before gardening, yard work, or heavy outdoor tasks, store your jewelry in a safe place.
Household cleaners, detergents, soaps, and chemical products may leave residue on jewelry or affect the finish over time. Remove your jewelry before washing dishes, cleaning, or using strong household products.
For personalized jewelry, photo jewelry, or pieces with special decorative details, we also recommend removing them before washing hands, showering, or coming into direct contact with water.
When you are not wearing your jewelry, store it in a clean, dry, and secure place. A soft jewelry pouch, lined jewelry box, or separate compartment can help prevent scratches and tangling.
Avoid placing jewelry near sinks, open drains, bathroom counters, or loose pockets where it may be scratched, misplaced, or accidentally lost.
Beauty products such as lotion, sunscreen, perfume, hairspray, hand cream, and makeup can build up on jewelry and reduce its shine. They may also leave a cloudy film on stones or metal surfaces.
For best results, apply skincare, fragrance, and cosmetics first. Allow them to dry completely before putting on your jewelry.
Water exposure may affect the appearance and durability of certain jewelry finishes. Chlorinated water in swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs may react with metals or plating, which can lead to dullness, discoloration, or surface wear.
We recommend removing your jewelry before swimming, bathing, showering, or entering chemically treated water.
Cold water can cause fingers to shrink slightly, making rings easier to slip off. Salt water may also leave residue on jewelry and affect its finish over time. To avoid damage or loss, remove your jewelry before swimming in the ocean, lakes, or open water.
Cooking and baking ingredients such as oil, dough, butter, flour, or sauces can stick to jewelry and affect its shine. Food residue may also collect around stones, chains, or detailed settings.
Remove your jewelry before preparing food by hand to help keep it clean and bright.
For jewelry with stones, prongs, or delicate settings, regular inspection is important. Daily wear may gradually loosen stones or shift small details.
If you notice movement, gaps, bending, or unusual sounds from your jewelry, stop wearing it and have it checked before continued use.
For regular light cleaning, use a gentle method:
Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, abrasive cleaners, polishing compounds, or rough cloths, as they may damage the finish or affect the appearance of your jewelry.
If you clean jewelry near a sink, always close the drain or use a drain strainer. This helps prevent accidental loss of rings, earrings, or small jewelry pieces.
To keep your MYJEWR jewelry looking beautiful, remove it before strenuous activities, avoid chemicals and water exposure, store it properly, and clean it gently when needed. With thoughtful care, your jewelry can continue to shine through everyday wear and meaningful moments.
