hoffnungsträger believes that every piece of jewelry has a special spiritual meaning. It accompanies you in everyday life, protects your inner peace and ensures good karma. Therefore, it should stay beautiful for as long as possible. Here are three care tips so that you can enjoy your jewelry for a long time.
storing the jewelry
Do not store your jewelry in the bathroom - the high humidity in the bathroom can change and damage the colors and materials. When you are not wearing the jewelry, it should be stored in a dark, dry place with a soft surface. This prevents silver from oxidizing or gold plating from tarnishing. The soft surface prevents scratches and other damage to the jewelry. You always receive the pieces in a jewelry box or ethnic bag, so keep them safe!
wearing the jewelry
Contact with water, chemicals in lotions, body oils, cosmetics, hairspray, perfumes, excessive heat or humidity and cleaning products can cause discoloration and affect the finish/plating of the jewelry. Therefore, jewelry should be the last thing you put on before going out and the first thing you take off when you get home. Make sure that jewelry does not come into contact with your makeup remover, for example.
cleaning
Clean your jewelry thoroughly with a soft, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth; this will help maintain or restore its shine. It works best for sterling silver. Gold/rose gold plated jewelry should not be treated with a cloth as the gold plating may come off.
Please also note that discoloration is partly caused by the pH of the skin. Even if the above tips are carefully followed, the jewelry may discolor/tarnish due to a high pH.
