Caring for Your GEMPARA Jewelry
Your fine jewelry is more than just an investment—it carries sentimental value and is often a part of your daily life. While some wear and tear is natural over time, proper care and maintenance can help preserve its brilliance and ensure it becomes a cherished heirloom for generations.
Protect Your Jewelry from Chemicals:
Avoid exposing your jewelry to any kind of chemicals, as they can damage its finish or weaken certain gemstones. Be mindful of:
Gemstones like opals and pearls are especially vulnerable to chemical exposure, so take extra precautions when wearing them.
Remove Jewelry in Certain Situations:
Take off your jewelry before sleeping to avoid accidental damage.
Remove it before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities that could expose it to water or harsh environments.
Take off your pieces before any activity that may cause knocks, scratches, or dents, such as exercising, gardening, heavy lifting, or cleaning. If in doubt, it’s better to store your jewelry safely.
Safe Storage Tips:
Keep your jewelry in a secure location, away from other items that might cause scratching, tangling, or rubbing. Ideally, use a fabric-lined box or case to protect your fine jewelry.
Cleaning Your Jewelry:
Clean your pieces regularly with lukewarm water, a mild soap (we recommend a gentle dish soap in a light blue formula), and a soft toothbrush. After cleaning, gently pat them dry with a microfiber cloth for a polished finish.
Special Care for Opals:
Opals are delicate and require extra care. Never clean them using an ultrasonic machine, as it can cause damage. Please note that GEMPARA’s warranty does not cover opals, so we encourage extra caution with these fragile gemstones.
By following these steps, you can maintain the beauty and longevity of your GEMPARA jewelry, ensuring it remains a source of joy for years to come.
