General Care for All Jewelry

  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, such as perfumes, hairsprays, and cleaning agents.
  • Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in strenuous activities.
  • Clean jewelry regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its shine.
  • Store pieces in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratches.

 

Material-Specific Care

Yellow Gold, Rose Gold, White Gold

  • Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
  • For white gold, periodic re-plating with rhodium may be needed to restore its bright finish.

Diamonds

  • Use a gentle cleaning solution of warm water and dish soap. Brush with a soft toothbrush to remove dirt.
  • Store separately to avoid scratching other pieces, as diamonds are very hard.

Pearls

  • Wipe pearls gently with a soft, damp cloth after wearing to remove body oils.
  • Avoid submerging pearls in water or exposing them to cosmetics or perfumes.
  • Store in a soft cloth or pouch, as pearls can scratch easily.

Ruby and Emerald

  • Clean with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning solutions.
  • Emeralds are more delicate due to natural inclusions and should not be exposed to extreme heat or ultrasonic cleaners.

Malachite, Carnelian, Lapis Lazuli, Mother of Pearl, Onyx

  • Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using soap, ultrasonic cleaners, or submerging in water, as these materials are porous and can absorb liquids.
  • Keep away from prolonged sunlight or heat, as it can cause fading or damage.

Additional Tips

  • Inspect jewelry regularly for loose stones, worn prongs, or other signs of wear, and have them professionally serviced if needed.
  • When traveling, use a travel case with compartments to keep pieces secure and untangled.

By following these care guidelines, your jewelry will remain timeless and radiant for years to come. Please contact hello@tanachungjewelry.com for any further injuries.
