Jewelry care
Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver is a precious metal that can naturally tarnish over time, especially when exposed to moisture, chemicals or air pollutants. Proper care helps maintain its shine and longevity.
How to Care for Sterling Silver:
- Store your silver jewelry in a dry, airtight container or zip-lock bag to prevent tarnish.
- Keep pieces separate to avoid scratches.
- Avoid contact with water, lotions, perfumes and cleaning products.
- Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing or exercising.
- Clean gently with a soft polishing cloth specifically made for silver.
- Use mild soap and water for a deeper cleanse, but dry thoroughly afterward.
Gold-Plated Sterling Silver Jewelry
Gold plating is a thin layer of gold applied to sterling silver. It is delicate and may wear over time, especially with frequent contact or improper care.
How to Care for Gold-Plated Jewelry:
- Avoid friction - remove jewelry before sleeping, working out or doing chores.
- Keep away from water, sweat, perfumes and body lotions.
- Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
- Do not use silver polish or harsh cleaners, as they can remove the gold layer.
- Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent rubbing and fading.
General Tips:
- Put on your jewelry last, after applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray.
- Rotate your pieces - wearing the same item daily will cause faster wear.
- If heavy tarnish or damage occurs, consider professional cleaning or replating.
With the right care, your Naya Jewels pieces can stay beautiful for years to come.
