Jewelry Care Guide: How to Take Care of Your Permanent Jewelry

 ABYONA STUDIO creates jewelry made of high-quality and long-lasting materials. We understand the importance of long-lasting, durable jewelry, which is why our jewelry is designed to last for years to come. 

When we wear jewelry, our jewelry becomes a part of ourselves. Not only do the pieces of jewelry we wear come in close contact with our bodies, but they also come in close contact with the environment (salt/chlorinated water, harsh substances, detergents, chemicals, dirt, etc.). The more you wear a piece of jewelry, the more susceptible it becomes to wear and tear.

The PH levels in our skin also play a big role in how fast a piece of jewelry becomes discoloured. The fact is, we all have natural body processes, and jewelry is more prone to become discolored when the wearer has higher levels of PH on their skin.

That’s why we’re here to walk you through how to take care of your jewelry so that it shines bright as new for years on end. Remember: taking care of your jewelry is just as important as wearing it! Read on to find out how to take care of your gold-filled jewelry.

How to Take Care of Your Gold-Filled & Sterling Silver Jewelry

Gold-Filled is hypoallergenic, which is ideal for those of you who have sensitive skin. Gold-Filled is made of 5% solid gold, the gold is bonded onto a base layer, which is typically sterling silver. Gold-filled jewelry is safe to wear underwater (unless the water is chlorinated or is salt water) and is easy to clean.

 Here are some tips on how to care for your gold-filled jewelry:

  • Polish off your jewelry using a soft polishing cloth. This will help maintain its shine. 
  • Safe in the water but avoid contact with perfumes, detergents, and other skincare products. 
  • Avoid exercising in your jewelry or going into chlorinated pools. 
  • Rinse with warm water after swimming in the ocean. 

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is made of 92.5% silver. The other 7.5% consists of other metals, typically copper. Mixing the silver with other metals makes the jewelry more durable and helps it hold its shape.

Here are some care tips:

  • Polish off your jewelry using a soft polishing cloth. This will help maintain its shine. 
  • Safe in the water but avoid contact with perfumes, detergents, and other skincare products. 
  • Avoid exercising in your jewelry or going into chlorinated pools. 
  • Rinse with warm water after swimming in the ocean. 

General Gold-Filled Jewelry Cleaning Instructions

We suggest giving your jewelry a polish or regular clean-up when the shine begins to dull.

We also suggest the following general care tips:

  • Use a soft polishing cloth to regularly clean your jewelry. Other materials can potentially scratch your jewelry.
  • Never leave chemical residue on your gold-filled jewelry.
  • Clean your jewelry and remove dirt residue with mild soap water and a soft toothbrush.
  • Store your jewelry in a pouch to avoid humidity.
  • Rinse your jewelry with lukewarm water after swimming in the ocean
  • Remove jewelry when exercising. Sweat can damage your jewelry.
  • Take off your jewelry when swimming in salt or chlorinated water.
  • Do not wash pearls or gems with strong liquid cleaners.
