How to maintain your stainless steel jewelry?
Stainless steel jewelry is known for its durability and resistance to everyday elements. However, to maintain its shine and brilliance, it is recommended to take care of it regularly.
The 304 and 316L stainless steel that we use for our jewelry is a high-quality material that is highly resistant to water and outdoor conditions. You can wear our jewelry every day, whether in the shower, at the beach, or even during physical activities. However, to maintain their original appearance, remember to rinse them with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorinated water, and to gently wipe them to remove traces of limescale.
Tips to avoid oxidation and scratches
Although stainless steel is very durable, it can be damaged by harsh chemicals such as cosmetics, perfumes and household cleaners. We recommend that you always apply your creams, sprays and other beauty products before putting on your jewelry, in order to minimize their exposure to chemicals.
When you are not wearing your jewelry, store it in a pouch or box away from moisture and direct light to avoid scratches and preserve its color. For necklaces, tie them to avoid knots, and store your earrings separately to avoid friction between them.
Cleaning and shine: practical advice
To restore the shine to your stainless steel jewelry, gentle cleaning is sometimes necessary.
1. Use a soft cloth or chamois, ideal for shining the metal without damaging it. If a more thorough cleaning is necessary, you can use warm water with a small drop of mild soap, rubbing gently with a soft-bristled brush.
2. However, avoid acidic products (such as vinegar or lemon) which could alter the gold or silver finish of your jewelry.
3. After each cleaning, rinse your jewelry well and dry it to avoid water spots and ensure impeccable shine.
