Jewelry care
Stainless steel, brass and silver jewelry can last a long time if properly cared for and cleaned. Here are some tips on how you can do that:
Stainless steel jewelry:
- Stainless steel is typically sturdy and corrosion-resistant, so it doesn't require much maintenance. However, you should avoid treating the jewelry with harsh chemicals or cleaning products as these could damage the surface.
- Clean the jewelry regularly with mild soap or dishwashing liquid and warm water. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and grease.
- Avoid contact with chlorine, salt water or other aggressive substances as they can attack the surface.
Brass jewelry:
- Brass can tarnish and lose its shine over time. To prevent this, you can apply a protective layer, for example by applying clear varnish or wax.
- Avoid contact with moisture and water as brass is susceptible to corrosion. Therefore, remove the jewelry before bathing or showering and store it in a dry environment.
- To clean, you can use a mixture of vinegar and water or special brass cleaners to restore the shine. After cleaning, make sure to rinse the jewelry well and dry it carefully.
Silver jewelry:
- Silver jewelry can tarnish and turn black over time. You can clean it regularly with a silver polishing cloth or a special silver cleaner to restore its shine.
- Store silver jewelry in an airtight bag or jewelry box to minimize contact with air and reduce tarnishing.
- Avoid contact with chemical products such as perfume, hairspray or cleaning products as they can damage the surface of the silver.
General tips:
- Do not wear the jewelry while swimming, playing sports, or doing other activities that could damage it.
- Clean jewelry regularly to remove dirt and sweat that can corrode the surface.
- When not wearing the jewelry, store it in a dry and clean place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your stainless steel, brass and silver jewelry stays beautiful for a long time.
