Jewelry Care Guide

At Zarqoon's, we believe that jewelry is more than just an accessory—it's an expression of your personal style, a symbol of cherished moments, and a treasure to keep for years to come. To ensure that your precious pieces maintain their beauty and shine, we’ve put together a few simple care tips to help you keep your jewelry looking as stunning as the day you first received it.

1. Keep Jewelry Dry

Water and moisture can tarnish metals, dull gemstones, and weaken certain materials. Always remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or washing your hands. This includes rings, bracelets, and necklaces, especially those made with materials like silver or copper, which are prone to tarnishing when exposed to water or humidity.

2. Store Your Jewelry Properly

When you’re not wearing your jewelry, store it in a safe, dry place. Use soft pouches, jewelry boxes with compartments, or anti-tarnish cloths to keep your pieces from scratching or tangling. For more delicate items, consider individual storage to prevent contact with other jewelry. Avoid storing jewelry in the bathroom, as the humidity can accelerate tarnishing.

3. Clean Regularly

To keep your jewelry sparkling, clean it regularly using a soft cloth to remove dirt and oils. For most pieces, warm water and mild soap are sufficient. For stones, be sure to follow specific care instructions based on the type of gemstone. Avoid harsh chemicals and cleaning agents, as they can damage the metal or stone.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Chemicals found in perfumes, hairsprays, cleaning products, or lotions can damage your jewelry. Always apply these products before putting on your jewelry. Additionally, avoid wearing jewelry when using household cleaners, as they can cause discoloration, tarnishing, or stone damage.

5. Take Care with Heavy Activity

Remove jewelry before engaging in strenuous activities such as sports, cleaning, or heavy lifting. These activities can cause physical stress to delicate pieces, which may lead to bending, scratching, or loosening of stones.

6. Protect Your Jewelry from Impact

Jewelry, especially items with precious stones, can be vulnerable to impact. Be mindful when handling your jewelry to avoid accidental drops or rough handling. Always take extra care when wearing pieces that may catch on clothing or objects, as this can lead to damage.

7. Regular Checkups

For your fine jewelry, including engagement rings and heirlooms, it’s important to have it checked regularly for loose settings, wear, or any damage. We recommend professional maintenance every 6-12 months to ensure that your pieces are always in top condition.

8. Special Care for Gemstones

Each gemstone requires unique care. For example, softer stones like opals and pearls need extra protection from scratches, while harder stones like diamonds and sapphires can withstand more wear. Be sure to check the specific care instructions for each gemstone and treat it accordingly.

By following these simple tips, you’ll be able to maintain the beauty and longevity of your jewelry. If you ever have questions or need assistance with cleaning or repairs, don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team—we’re always happy to help!
