Taking proper care of your precious jewellery ensures its longevity and maintains its radiant beauty. Here are some tips on how to care for and clean your jewellery from Aeternum Jewellery:

General Care:

  • Remove your jewellery before engaging in activities like swimming, exercising, or household chores to prevent damage.
  • Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions, as they can affect the finish and lustre of the materials.

Cleaning Tips:

  • Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing it to remove oils, sweat, and debris.
  • For more thorough cleaning, mix a mild soap with lukewarm water and use a soft brush or a cotton swab to gently clean hard-to-reach areas.

Storage:

  • To prevent scratches and tangling, keep individual pieces separate from one another. You can use jewellery pouches, boxes, or dividers for storage.

Special Care for Gemstones:

How do I care for precious metal ear tunnels?

Proper care is essential to maintain the beauty and quality of your precious metal ear tunnels. To ensure their longevity, clean them regularly with warm soapy water, and a soft cloth, and allow them to fully dry before wear. Avoid exposure to chemicals, lotions, and perfumes, and store them in a safe and dry place when not in use.
