Shine On: The Ultimate Guide to Jewelry Care by Material
✨ INTRODUCTION
Your jewelry tells a sparkling story—make sure it’s one that lasts. Whether you’re layering gold-plated chains or showing off a dazzling moissanite ring, the key to lasting shine is proper care. Here’s your stylish, practical guide to maintaining and protecting your favorite FITINY pieces, tailored to every material in your collection.
✨ CARE BY MATERIAL: CLEANING & PROTECTION
Cubic Zirconia (CZ): To keep your CZ pieces brilliant, gently wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear. For a deeper clean, soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, then use a soft brush to lift away any residue. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners—they can loosen the stones.
S925 Sterling Silver: Silver loves to shine, but it can tarnish over time. Polish with a silver-specific cloth, and for stubborn spots, a gentle mix of baking soda and water works wonders. Store each piece in an anti-tarnish pouch and keep away from moisture. Professional ultrasonic cleaning is great for heirloom pieces, but routine home care does the trick for everyday wear.
Moissanite: Moissanite dazzles with diamond-like fire. Clean it using mild dish soap and warm water, scrubbing gently with a baby toothbrush. Rinse and pat dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and store separately to prevent scratches. Professional cleaning once a year keeps your stone in top shape.
Gold-Plated Jewelry: Gold-plated pieces are all about that luxe look—handle them with care. Wipe gently after each wear, and never soak. Avoid friction and store in individual pouches to prevent fading. Remember, a quick spritz of perfume before you put on your jewelry is your best friend—never after!
✨ STORAGE, DO’S & DON’TS, AND SEASONAL CARE
Storage: Always keep your jewelry in a dry, cool place. Separate each item using soft pouches or lined boxes to prevent tangling and scratching. Humidity is the enemy—consider a silica gel packet in your storage area for extra protection.
Do’s: - Clean jewelry regularly with gentle materials - Remove rings before handwashing, swimming, or applying lotion - Store pieces individually and out of direct sunlight - Pack jewelry in travel cases with compartments when on the go
Don’ts: - Don’t expose your jewelry to water, perfume, or hair products - Don’t wear jewelry while exercising or sleeping - Don’t use harsh chemicals or abrasive cloths
Seasonal & Travel Tips: Summer means sweat and sunscreen—wipe your pieces after each wear. On winter getaways, dry storage is extra important to combat humidity. When traveling, use jewelry rolls or cases with individual slots to keep your treasures safe and tangle-free. For festivals or beach days, opt for less delicate pieces and clean them as soon as you return.
