Jewelry Care Guide

Vintage-inspired and gold-tone costume jewelry should be cared for as styling pieces. A little attention to moisture, storage, and daily wear can help protect the finish, shape, clips, pin backs, and decorative details of each piece.

Keep Your Jewelry Dry

Water, perfume, lotion, hairspray, sweat, cleaning products, and harsh chemicals can affect plated, gold-tone, silver-tone, enamel-style, crystal-style, pearl-style, or stone-style finishes over time. Put jewelry on after beauty products have dried, and remove pieces before activities that expose them to moisture.

Store Each Piece Separately

Statement earrings, clip-on earrings, brooches, bracelets, and necklaces should be stored separately to avoid scratching, pressure, or tangling. Soft pouches, divided trays, or individual boxes help keep detailed pieces from rubbing against each other.

Clip-On Earring Care

For vintage-inspired clip-on earrings, keep pairs together, avoid bending the clip mechanism, and do not force the backing tighter without reviewing the piece carefully. Clip comfort varies by style and wearer, so check the product page for available details before purchase.

Brooch And Pin Care

For brooches and brooch sets, fasten the pin before storage when practical, avoid pressure on raised details, and store larger pieces where they will not scratch other jewelry. Check pin backs gently before wearing on delicate fabrics.

Protect Detailed Finishes

Pieces with stone-style accents, pearl-style details, enamel-style surfaces, cabochon-style centers, or sculptural shapes should be handled gently. If a piece needs wiping, use a soft dry cloth only and avoid polishing liquids or abrasive cleaners unless product care details clearly say otherwise.

What To Avoid

Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, sleeping, exercising, cleaning, or applying perfume, lotion, sunscreen, or hairspray. Avoid pulling on chains, pressing large earrings into bags, or storing jewelry in damp bathrooms.

Travel And Display Tips

When traveling, place each piece in a separate pouch or small compartment. For boutique, reseller, or live-selling display, group pieces by category, color story, motif, or finish, then return items to dry storage after presentation.
