How to take care of your jewelry
Daily care
There are some simple things you can do in your everyday life to protect your jewelry, especially those with pearls, gold plating, and silver:
- Take off your jewelry when you shower, exercise or sleep. Moisture, sweat and friction wear down the materials unnecessarily.
- Avoid direct sunlight and humid environments. Jewelry should preferably not be stored in the bathroom or on the windowsill, as this increases the risk of oxidation (e.g. silver turning black).
- Store the jewelry in a closed jewelry box , where light and moisture do not penetrate. This helps keep them shiny and neat, as they would otherwise tarnish.
- Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, creams and oils. Pearls have a delicate, organic surface that easily becomes discolored or dull when in contact with cosmetic products. Perfume and hairspray in particular can dry out the pearls, while oils from creams can penetrate the mother of pearl and leave stains that cannot be removed.
Extra care
Would you like to take extra care of your favorite jewelry? You can benefit from including a little extra care in your daily care:
- Remove your jewelry when cleaning or doing physical work. Cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals that can damage your jewelry. Even if you don't hit it directly, the chemicals are still in the air.
- Store your favorite jewelry separately in a jewelry bag (such as the one you received with your order) so that it doesn't get scratched when placed with other jewelry.
- Wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth after use (e.g. a microfiber cloth). This will remove sweat and dirt that can otherwise sit on the surface and accelerate oxidation or cause discoloration, especially on gold-plated jewelry and pearls.
Extra care is not necessary for everyone, but it can be a good idea if you have a piece of jewelry that you are particularly fond of and want to keep it beautiful for many years.

925 Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a classic and beautiful precious metal, but it does require a bit of maintenance to maintain its shine. All silver, including 925 sterling silver, will naturally oxidize over time. This means that the surface can darken or take on a yellowish tone if not properly cared for.
Oxidation occurs when silver reacts with oxygen and substances such as sweat, creams, perfumes, oils or cosmetic residues. We therefore recommend that you wipe your silver jewellery with a soft cloth after use, especially if you have worn it all day or in a warm environment. This helps to remove the residues that otherwise cause the silver to darken.
Freshwater pearls
Freshwater pearls are a natural and organic material with a delicate surface, and this is what gives them their unique shine and expression. To preserve the beauty of the pearls for as long as possible, it is important to treat them with gentle care and careful storage.
The mother of pearl can be damaged if the pearls are exposed to perfume, hairspray, creams or oils, as the chemicals can dry out or discolor the surface. This is especially true for colored freshwater pearls, which can change hue upon contact with cosmetics or sunlight.
Like many other natural materials, pearls will naturally fade and become duller if exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. Therefore, store your pearl jewelry in a dark, cool, and dry place, preferably away from direct sunlight and moisture .
