Caring for your jewellery

Jewellery care tips

For maintaining the sparkle of your jewellery, regular care is essential. A gentle, lint-free cloth dedicated to jewellery care will help you wipe away marks left by body oils, perfumes, and lotions, safeguarding the perfect finish of your Avari & Co. precious jewellery. Which is why we provide a free polish cloth with our products that are purely 100% silver or gold. 
As all jewellery, including those made of silver or solid gold, can tarnish over time due to the reaction of the alloys mixed with gold, so here are some care tips for you.
Care Tips:
  • Store Properly: Always store your jewelry in a cool, dry place. Use soft cloth bags or jewelry boxes with compartments to prevent scratching and tangling.

  • Keep Away from Chemicals: Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals, including perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners, as these can tarnish or damage the materials.

  • Remove Before Activities: Take off your jewelry before swimming, exercising, or doing household chores to protect it from damage and exposure to sweat or chlorine.

  • Clean Regularly: Clean your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.

  • Polish Carefully: Use a jewelry-specific polishing cloth to maintain the shine of your pieces. Be gentle, especially with gold, silver, and gemstones.

  • Check for Damage: Regularly inspect your jewelry for signs of wear, such as loose stones or bent clasps, and take it to a professional jeweler for repairs if needed.

  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep your jewelry away from extreme heat or cold, as sudden temperature changes can damage certain gemstones and metals.

  • Handle with Care: When putting on or taking off your jewelry, do so gently to avoid bending or breaking delicate parts.

  • Use Anti-Tarnish Strips: Place anti-tarnish strips in your jewelry box to help slow down the tarnishing process of silver and other metals.

  • Professional Cleaning: For valuable or intricate pieces, consider professional cleaning and maintenance at least once a year to preserve their beauty and longevity.
