Stainless steel is one of the most durable materials for jewellery, but a few simple precautions will help your pieces keep their brand-new shine for much longer.
How to clean
- Mix warm water with a few drops of mild soap.
- Wipe the piece with a soft cloth or a soft toothbrush (for areas with stones).
- Rinse with clean water and dry well with a soft cloth.
Avoid abrasive products, bleach, or silver cleaning pastes — they can scratch the metal or damage the gold plating.
How to store
- Store each piece separately so they don't scratch each other.
- Fasten necklaces and bracelets before storing them so they don't get tangled.
- Prefer a dry place, away from the humidity of the bathroom.
Everyday care
- Last on, first off: put your jewellery on after perfume, lotions, and hairspray.
- Take your pieces off before going to the beach, pool, or gym, especially the gold-plated ones — chlorine and salt wear down the plating faster.
- Zirconias gain extra shine if you clean them from time to time with a dry cloth.
