Below is our detailed care guide tailored to each material type, designed to help you protect your precious pieces.

✨ General Jewelry Care Tips (For All Pieces)

These essential tips apply to all Prismé Jewel pieces, helping to extend their lifespan and maintain their shine:
• Avoid contact with liquids: Keep jewelry away from water, perfume, hairspray, cosmetics, body lotion, sweat, and chlorine (swimming pools, hot tubs). These substances can damage plating, dull pearls, and tarnish silver quickly.
• Put on last, take off first: Wear your jewelry as the final step of your outfit, and remove it before sleeping, showering, exercising, or doing housework.
• Store properly: Store each piece separately in a soft jewelry pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, and oxidation. Avoid mixing with other hard accessories.
• Clean gently: Wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth after each wear to remove surface oil and dust. Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or ultrasonic cleaners unless specified.
• Avoid impact and friction: All jewelry is delicate – avoid pulling, bending, or dropping to prevent breakage, deformation, or plating peeling.

💎 Care for Natural Pearls

Natural pearls are organic and extremely delicate, requiring extra gentle care to maintain their unique luster and beauty:
• No water exposure: Pearls are porous – water, soap, and chemicals can strip their natural luster and damage the surface.
• Avoid extreme temperatures: Keep pearls away from direct sunlight, heaters, and air conditioners to prevent drying and cracking.
• Special cleaning: Only wipe pearls with a soft, damp (not wet) cotton cloth, then dry immediately with a dry microfiber cloth. Never use silver polish or chemical cleaners on pearls.
• Separate storage: Store pearls in a soft pouch away from other metal jewelry to avoid scratches.

⚜️ Care for 925 Sterling Silver

925 sterling silver may tarnish naturally over time due to air and moisture exposure – this is normal for pure silver materials and can be easily managed:
• Tarnish removal: For light tarnish, gently polish with a specialized silver polishing cloth (included with orders). For heavy tarnish, use a mild silver cleaner designed for 925 sterling silver (follow product instructions carefully).
• Anti-tarnish storage: Store silver pieces in an airtight pouch or anti-tarnish box when not worn to slow down oxidation.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Chlorine, bleach, and cleaning products will accelerate tarnishing and damage the silver surface.

✨ Care for Gold Plated Jewelry

Our plated finishes are durable with proper care, but the plating layer is thin – avoid actions that may cause peeling or fading to keep your pieces looking new:
• No friction or scratching: Do not wear plated jewelry during physical activities, and avoid rubbing against rough surfaces.
• Avoid frequent water contact: Prolonged water exposure will gradually wear down the plating layer – remove before showering or swimming.
• No polishing cloths: Do not use silver polishing cloths on plated pieces, as they may erase the plating. Only use a soft dry microfiber cloth for cleaning.
• Note on daily wear: Plated jewelry may fade slightly with long-term daily wear, which is a normal phenomenon, not a quality issue. Regular care can extend the lifespan of the plating.

📌 Additional Notes

• Keep jewelry out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidental ingestion or damage.
• If your jewelry gets stained accidentally, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth immediately – do not scrub hard.
