How to Clean Your Jewelry Properly: A Simple Guide for Lasting Brilliance

Just like your skin glows with a little care, so does your jewelry. Over time, everyday wear, lotions, and even air exposure can dull the sparkle of your favorite pieces. 

The good news? Cleaning your fine jewelry at home is simple and safe when done correctly. With a few gentle steps, you can bring back its shine and keep your Nayestones jewelry looking timeless. 


Why Jewelry Cleaning Is Important for Fine Pieces 

Fine jewelry care isn’t just about appearanceit’s about preservation. Dust, oils, and chemicals from skincare products can build up, especially around gemstone settings, reducing their brilliance over time.

With regular, careful cleaning, your pieces will stay as radiant as the day you first wore them. 


Step-by-Step: How to Clean Your Jewelry at Home 

 

Here’s how to care for your Nayestones jewelry without causing damage: 

1. Soak in Lukewarm Water with Mild Soap 

Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a drop of gentle soap (like dish soap). Place your jewelry in the bowl and let it soak for a few minutes. 

2. Gently Brush Around Gemstone Settings 

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to lightly remove buildup, paying close attention to delicate areas around gemstones and clasps. 

3. Rinse and Pat Dry 

Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. Then, pat dry using a soft, lint-free cloth. 

4. Polish for a Final Shine 

Finish by buffing your jewelry with a jewelry polishing cloth to restore its natural luster. 

 

Fine Jewelry Care Tips: What to Avoid 

Avoid harsh chemicals: Cleaning agents like bleach or alcohol can damage metals and gemstones. 

Skip abrasive cloths: Use only soft materials to prevent scratches. 

Store with care: Keep jewelry in a soft pouch or box to prevent tangling and scratches. 

 

How Often Should You Clean Your Jewelry? 

For everyday jewelry, aim to clean it at least once a month. For special occasion pieces, clean them after each wear to maintain their beauty. 

Keep Your Nayestones Jewelry Timeless 

 

Your Nayestones pieces are delicate by design — treat them with care, and they’ll last for generations.
