Jewelry Care
Your jewelry from Oz Hearts is designed to last and be cherished for years to come. With proper care, you can keep your pieces looking beautiful and sparkling, preserving their quality and shine. Follow these simple tips to ensure your jewelry stays in perfect condition.
1. Store Your Jewelry Properly
- Keep your jewelry in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Store each piece separately to avoid scratches and tangling, ideally in a jewelry box or soft pouch.
- Avoid storing your jewelry in humid areas like bathrooms, as moisture can cause tarnishing over time.
2. Keep Away from Chemicals
- Chemicals found in household cleaners, perfumes, lotions, and hair products can damage the finish and shine of your jewelry.
- Always apply beauty products like perfumes and lotions before putting on your jewelry to minimize exposure to harmful substances.
3. Remove Jewelry During Activities
- Take off your jewelry when swimming, exercising, or doing household chores, especially those involving water or harsh chemicals.
- Avoid wearing your jewelry in pools, hot tubs, or the ocean, as chlorine and saltwater can cause damage and tarnishing.
4. Clean Your Jewelry Regularly
- Gently clean your jewelry using a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may build up over time.
5. Handle with Care
- Be mindful when handling delicate pieces such as thin chains or intricately set stones. Avoid pulling or tugging, as this can weaken the settings and cause breakage.
- Regularly check for any loose stones or clasps, and have your jewelry professionally serviced if necessary.
6. Tarnish Prevention
- Sterling silver and certain metals may naturally tarnish over time. To reduce tarnishing, wear your jewelry often, as the oils in your skin help keep it shiny.
- If tarnish does occur, use a polishing cloth specifically designed for your jewelry type to restore its original shine.
Professional Cleaning
For best results, we recommend having your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected every 6 to 12 months. This helps maintain the brilliance of your pieces and ensures that any minor repairs are made before they turn into major issues.
By following these jewelry care tips, you’ll ensure that your Oz Hearts pieces continue to sparkle for years to come, keeping your treasured memories alive.
