Jewelry care

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR JEWELRY

Proper care of your jewellery is essential to maintain its beauty and avoid unnecessary damage. We recommend that you gently wipe your jewellery once a month with a special silver polishing cloth to prevent dulling and to remove traces of skin, perfume, food or other external substances from the surface. Be careful not to rub the pearls with it. These cloths are usually made of soft cotton and impregnated with a gentle cleaning agent. We advise against using liquid jewellery cleaners or so-called "chemical baths" as they are often too aggressive and can remove the deliberately applied oxidation effects.

We also recommend removing rings and other pieces of jewellery when washing your hands, applying creams or, especially, washing dishes, as everyday chemicals can gradually cause damage. It is also worth removing jewellery for cleaning, gardening, exercise or sports – these activities can significantly accelerate the wear of the material.

Avoid wearing jewellery while swimming in water, especially salty sea or ocean water, which is extremely corrosive and can severely damage the metal and its finish.

In the case of gold-plated jewelry, it is particularly important to follow the above rules to prevent excessive abrasion of the coating. If you want to order re-gilding, contact us at contact@wishbone.pl

To protect your jewelry, store each piece separately, preferably in a soft bag or box with a padded interior to avoid scratches and tangling. Ideal storage conditions are dark, cool, and dry. It’s also a good idea to avoid storing jewelry in the same container so that the pieces don’t rub against each other or get tangled.
