Lavish Daydreams Jewelry Care Guide

Your handcrafted, engraved jewelry is a beautiful investment that’s meant to be cherished for years to come. To ensure it remains as stunning as the day you received it, we’ve put together a comprehensive care guide. Follow these simple steps to keep your custom pieces sparkling, protected, and ready to wear for any occasion.

General Care Tips for All Jewelry

  1. Store Your Jewelry Properly:

    • Keep your pieces in a jewelry box or a soft pouch, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
    • To avoid scratches, store each piece separately, especially when it comes to softer metals like sterling silver or gold.

  2. Avoid Chemicals and Moisture:

    • Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or using products like lotion, perfume, or hairspray. These can damage the metal and engravings over time.
    • Always apply any lotions, perfumes, or hair products before putting on your jewelry.

  3. Regular Cleaning:

    • Clean your jewelry regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its shine.
    • Use a gentle, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

  4. Handle with Care:

    • Avoid pulling, stretching, or bending your jewelry, especially delicate chains and pieces with intricate designs.
    • When putting on necklaces or bracelets, ensure clasps are properly closed to prevent snagging.

Care Tips for Specific Metals

Sterling Silver:

  • Sterling silver can tarnish over time due to exposure to air, humidity, or chemicals. To slow down tarnishing, store your silver jewelry in an airtight container with an anti-tarnish strip.
  • If tarnishing occurs, use a silver polishing cloth or a designated silver jewelry cleaner to restore its shine. Avoid using tissue or paper towels, as these can cause scratches.

Gold and Gold-Filled:

  • Gold is a durable metal that doesn’t tarnish as easily as silver, but it’s still prone to scratches.
  • Clean your gold jewelry with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.

Tips for Engraved and Personalized Pieces

  1. Fingerprint, Handwriting, and Drawing Engravings:

    • Avoid rubbing or scratching the engraved areas, as it can wear down the delicate details.
    • When cleaning engraved pieces, use a soft brush or cloth and gently clean around the engravings.

  2. Textured and Antique-Finish Jewelry:

    • Textured pieces may collect dirt in the crevices over time. Use a soft brush with gentle soap and water to clean these areas.
    • For antique finishes, avoid chemical cleaners that can strip the finish and change the look of your jewelry.
