Jewelry Care Guide
With proper care, your Swana Gems pieces will remain beautiful for years to come.
Everyday Care
- Put jewelry on last when getting dressed — after applying lotions, perfumes, and makeup.
- Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising.
- Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals including chlorine, bleach, and household cleaners.
- Remove rings before washing hands or applying hand sanitizer.
Cleaning
- Gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
- For a deeper clean, use warm water and mild soap with a soft toothbrush.
- Dry thoroughly before storing.
- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for delicate or gemstone pieces.
Storage
- Store pieces individually in a soft pouch or a jewelry box with compartments.
- Keep sterling silver in an anti-tarnish pouch or bag.
- Avoid storing jewelry in humid environments like bathrooms.
- Necklaces and chains should be clasped and hung or laid flat to prevent tangling.
Material-Specific Care
Gold & Gold Vermeil
Gold vermeil may naturally tarnish over time. Polish gently with a jewelry cloth to restore shine. Avoid abrasive materials.
Sterling Silver
Silver naturally tarnishes with exposure to air. Regular wear actually helps slow tarnishing. Use a silver polishing cloth for cleaning.
Gemstones
Some gemstones are porous and sensitive to heat and light. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth.
