How to keep your jewelry beautiful – Practical care tips

Zamak jewelry

Zamak is an alloy of zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper, often finished with a silver plating. It's sturdy and affordable, but requires careful handling.

Tips:

• Always store zamak jewelry in a dry and dark place to prevent oxidation.
• Avoid contact with perfumes, creams and cleaning products.
• Polish them gently with a dry cloth occasionally.
• You can carefully remove any discolouration with a silver polishing cloth.

Silver jewelry

Silver is a precious metal that can oxidize and darken over time. However, with proper care, it will remain vibrant.

Tips:

• Wear your silver jewelry regularly – this prevents rapid oxidation.
• Store them airtight, for example in a sealable bag.
• Polish with a special silver cloth or use a mild silver bath.
• Avoid chlorine, seawater and cleaning agents.

Gold plated jewelry

Gold-plated jewelry has a thin layer of gold over a base of, for example, copper or silver. This gives a luxurious appearance but is more susceptible to wear.

Tips:

• Always remove your gold-plated jewelry when exercising, showering, or sleeping.
• Avoid direct contact with perfume and cosmetics.
• Store them separately from other jewelry to avoid scratches.
• Clean them with a soft, dry cloth – never use aggressive cleaners.

Stainless steel (stainless steel) jewelry

Steel jewelry is durable, strong, and tarnish-resistant. Ideal for everyday use.

Tips:

• Clean them with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
• Always dry them well to prevent stains.
• Avoid abrasive materials that may cause scratches.
• Store them in a separate bag to reduce friction with other jewelry.

General tips for all jewelry

• Always store jewelry in a jewelry box or separate bag.
• Remove jewelry before exercising, sleeping, showering, or cleaning.
• Use soft cloths and avoid abrasive cleaning agents.
• Keep jewelry away from perfume, makeup, and hairspray.

Finally

With proper care, your jewelry—whether zamak, silver, gold-plated, or steel—will remain beautiful for years to come. This way, you'll not only enjoy its sheen for longer but also wear a piece of luxury and personality with pride every day.
