Caring for Your Jewelry

At Estevina, every piece of jewelry is designed to be treasured for a lifetime. With proper care and regular maintenance, your favorite rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and gemstones will continue to sparkle and retain their beauty for years to come. Everyday exposure to lotions, perfumes, cosmetics, moisture, and household chemicals can gradually dull the shine of precious metals and gemstones. Taking a few simple precautions will help preserve your jewelry’s brilliance.

Daily Jewelry Care

To keep your jewelry looking its best:

• Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or using cleaning products.
• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and cosmetics.
• Put your jewelry on last when getting dressed and remove it first at the end of the day.
• Store each piece separately in a soft jewelry pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratches.
• Wipe your jewelry gently with a soft microfiber or polishing cloth after each wear to remove oils and fingerprints.

Cleaning Your Jewelry

Regular cleaning helps restore the natural shine of your jewelry.

• Clean gold, silver, and platinum jewelry using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage gemstones and precious metals.
• Pearls, opals, emeralds, and other delicate gemstones should only be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.

For valuable or heavily worn jewelry, professional cleaning and inspection at least once a year is highly recommended.

Sterling Silver Care

Sterling silver naturally develops a light tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. This is completely normal and can easily be managed with proper care.

To keep your sterling silver jewelry shining:

• Store silver jewelry in an airtight pouch or anti-tarnish bag.
• Clean regularly using a quality silver polishing cloth.
• Avoid exposure to chlorine, saltwater, perfumes, and household chemicals.
• Remove silver jewelry before exercising or sleeping to reduce wear.

With regular maintenance, sterling silver will maintain its beautiful, brilliant finish for many years.

Gemstone Care

Different gemstones require different levels of care.

• Protect gemstones from hard impacts and rough surfaces.
• Avoid exposing gemstones to extreme temperatures.
• Clean diamonds, sapphires, and rubies with mild soap and water.
• Handle softer stones such as pearls, opals, turquoise, and emeralds with extra care.

If you’re unsure how to care for a specific gemstone, our team is always happy to provide guidance.

Professional Maintenance

Even the highest-quality jewelry benefits from routine professional care. We recommend having your jewelry inspected annually to ensure:

• Prongs securely hold gemstones.
• Clasps and earring backs function properly.
• Chains and bracelets show no signs of excessive wear.
• Stones remain secure and free from damage.

Regular maintenance helps protect your investment and extends the life of your jewelry.
