Looking for the best how to care for personalized jewelry? This is your complete guide to finding the perfect how to care for personalized jewelry at Brother & Sisters.
Your personalized jewelry carries a name, a photo, or a message that means the world to you. Here is how to make sure it stays beautiful for as long as the memory.
Gold Plated Jewelry Care
- Put it on last. Apply perfume, lotion, and sunscreen first. Let everything dry. Then put on your jewelry.
- Take it off first. Before showering, swimming, working out, or sleeping — remove it.
- Store in your gift box. Air exposure causes oxidation. A closed box extends the life significantly.
- Clean gently. Soft cloth + lukewarm water. No harsh chemicals, no toothpaste, no jewelry cleaner.
Photo Projection Jewelry Care
The nano-lens inside your photo necklace or photo bracelet is sealed and protected. However:
- Avoid submerging in water — the seal can weaken over time
- Do not press or scratch the lens area
- Clean the lens gently with a soft dry cloth if the projection becomes less clear
Sterling Silver Care
- Silver tarnishes naturally — it is not a defect, it is chemistry
- A silver polishing cloth (available at any jewelry store for $5) removes tarnish in seconds
- Store in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch
- Wear it often — the oils in your skin actually help prevent tarnish
Leather Jewelry Care
Our leather bracelets develop a natural patina over time — this is a feature, not a flaw. To maintain:
- Keep dry (leather absorbs water and can warp)
- Apply a small amount of leather conditioner every few months
- Store flat, not bent
Universal Rules
- Rotate your pieces. Daily wear on one piece concentrates friction. Alternate.
- Treat stains immediately. Blot with cold water — never rub.
- Remove before household cleaning. Bleach, ammonia, and hand sanitizer are enemies of all jewelry.
