Jewelry Care Tips for Guerilla Choice: Keep Your Pieces Sparkling
At Guerilla Choice, we take pride in crafting exquisite, hand-finished jewelry that’s designed to last. To ensure your favorite pieces remain as stunning as the day you got them, proper care is essential. Here are some expert tips to help you maintain the beauty and longevity of your jewelry.
1. Store Your Jewelry Properly
Jewelry is delicate and can easily get scratched or tarnished if not stored correctly. Follow these tips:
- Use a soft-lined jewelry box or individual pouches to prevent pieces from rubbing against each other.
- Keep your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
- Avoid storing different metals together to prevent tarnishing.
2. Avoid Contact with Chemicals
Chemicals can dull the shine of your jewelry or even cause damage. Be mindful of the following:
- Remove your jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray.
- Avoid wearing jewelry while cleaning, swimming, or using household chemicals.
- For gold-plated pieces, extra care is needed to maintain the plating’s integrity.
3. Clean Your Jewelry Regularly
Regular cleaning keeps your jewelry looking its best. Here’s how:
- Gold and Silver Jewelry: Use a soft cloth to gently polish and remove tarnish. For deeper cleaning, use warm water with mild soap and a soft toothbrush.
- Gemstones: Wipe with a damp cloth and avoid soaking to protect the setting.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Stick to mild solutions to prevent damage.
4. Handle with Care
Jewelry is meant to be worn and loved, but it’s important to handle it gently:
- Put on your jewelry last when getting ready to avoid snagging or exposure to products.
- Remove rings and bracelets before heavy lifting or manual work to prevent scratches or bending.
5. Inspect Your Jewelry
Regularly check your jewelry for signs of wear and tear:
- Look for loose stones, worn clasps, or bent prongs.
- If you notice any issues, bring your piece to a professional jeweler for repair.
6. Special Care for Guerilla Choice Pieces
Our handcrafted pieces, like the Anneau Ondulé Ring or Éclat Solaire Earrings, are made with love and precision. To preserve their beauty:
- Follow the care tips above.
- For gold-plated items, avoid excessive rubbing to maintain the plating.
- Store each piece in its original Guerilla Choice pouch for added protection.
By following these simple tips, your Guerilla Choice jewelry will continue to shine and bring joy for years to come. Remember, your jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a reflection of your unique style and story.
