At Sami Jewels, we design jewelry that is made to last, but a little extra TLC goes a long way.
Your favorite pieces deserve special care to keep their brilliance and beauty alive for years to come. Whether you wear them every day or save them for special occasions, here's the ultimate guide to caring for your jewelry! These are tiny steps, for lasting sparkle.
1. Take It Off for Life’s Little Adventures
Our pieces are built with the highest quality 925 Sterling Silver and thick 14K gold plating, daily wear and tear can still affect them over time. To preserve their beauty, we recommend removing your jewelry before:
✨ Showering
✨ Working out
✨ Swimming
✨ Sleeping
✨ Applying perfume, lotion, or hairspray
Alcohol-based products and harsh chemicals can react with metals and diminish their shine, so a little extra care makes a world of difference!
2. Store With Love
When you're not wearing your jewelry, tuck it away in a dry, dark place. The ziplock bag or soft pouches that come with your Sami Jewels pieces are perfect! This minimizes exposure to oxygen and humidity, which can cause tarnishing over time.
Tip: Avoid leaving jewelry out in the open air or in a steamy bathroom.
3. Bring Back the Brilliance
Over time, oils from your skin and residue from the environment can dim your jewelry's sparkle.
Here’s an easy cleaning ritual:
✨ Soak your jewelry in a bowl of very hot water with a few drops of dish soap for about 5 minutes.
✨ Gently pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
You'll be amazed how this simple method brings back that brand-new sparkle!
4. Handle With Care
Though our pieces are sturdy and designed for daily use, remember that jewelry—like anything precious—needs gentle handling. Avoid tugging, pulling, or bending delicate designs, especially thinner bands and adjustable cuffs.
If you ever encounter a loose clasp or bent post, don't worry! Minor adjustments can usually be made safely, or we're always here to help guide you.
5. Know What’s Normal
All metals naturally react to the oxygen in the air over time, causing a bit of oxidation. It's completely normal and easily reversible with gentle cleaning.
And remember: our gold plating is thicker than the industry standard, but like all plated jewelry, it will last the longest with proper TLC.
If you ever have a question about caring for your piece, never hesitate to reach out. We're always here to help. 💛
