Guide & conseils bijoux Extend the Life of Your Jewelry

Well-cared-for jewelry can stay radiant for years. With simple daily habits and mindful care, you can keep your favorite pieces beautiful and strong over time.

How to Extend Your Jewelry’s Lifespan: Simple Habits That Matter

Jewelry is never just an accessory. It complements your style, marks special moments, and often becomes a cherished talisman. To maintain your jewelry’s shine, color, and durability, it needs a little attention.

Good news: with a few easy steps, you can significantly extend your jewelry’s life, even with regular wear.

Daily Care: A Small but Essential Routine

After wearing your jewelry, gently wipe it with a soft microfiber cloth to remove:

• sweat (especially acidic in summer)
• perfume or lotion residues
• dust particles

This is especially important for silver jewelry, a precious metal prone to oxidation. For example, a delicate piece like the women’s silver charm bracelet will keep its glow much longer with this simple habit.

Expert tip: avoid paper towels or rough fabrics, which can cause tiny scratches invisible to the eye but damaging over time.

Chemicals: The Hidden Threat to Your Jewelry

Perfume, hairspray, moisturizers, hand sanitizers, cleaning products—all contain chemicals that can damage:

• metal shine
• gold plating and coatings
• decorative stones and pearls

The golden rule: put on your jewelry last and take it off first. For more details, see our full guide on protecting your jewelry from chemicals.

Proper Storage: A Small Detail That Makes a Big Difference

Poor storage is a leading cause of premature wear. Tangled chains, metal rubbing, scratches—all avoidable.

Ideally:

• store each piece separately
• use fabric pouches or lined boxes
• keep jewelry away from humid places like bathrooms

Handling and Daily Precautions

Whether it’s a delicate infinity necklace or a sturdier men’s bracelet, avoid wearing jewelry during:

• sports and physical activities
• housework and DIY projects
• showers, swimming pools, or the sea
