Your jewelry is more than just an accessory—it’s a reflection of your style, memories, and the little luxuries that make everyday moments special. To keep your pieces looking as radiant as the day you got them, it’s essential to care for them properly. Follow this simple guide to maintain the beauty and longevity of your jewelry.
1. Keep It Dry
Water, lotions, and perfumes can affect the appearance of your jewelry over time. While Vienna Domani pieces are designed to be tarnish-proof and water-resistant, it's still best to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to keep them shining longer. Always remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying beauty products.
Avoid wearing your jewelry in places that exceed normal temperatures, such as hot tubs, hot springs, or leaving them on furnaces. The extreme heat can weaken the metal over time. Additionally, hot tubs and pools contain harsh chemicals like chlorine, which can be damaging. However, your jewelry is tarnish-proof in natural water, as well as sink and shower water.
2. Store Properly
Jewelry should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling. For extra protection, store each piece separately to avoid friction.
3. Clean Regularly
Dirt, oils, and daily wear can dull your jewelry’s sparkle. To restore its shine:
-
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe your pieces after each wear.
-
For a deeper clean, mix mild soap with warm water, gently scrub with a soft brush, rinse, and pat dry.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials that can damage the finish.
4. Handle With Care
Even the most durable jewelry needs gentle handling. When putting on or removing your pieces, avoid pulling or tugging. Be mindful when layering multiple pieces to prevent tangling and scratching.
5. Wear With Intention
Jewelry is meant to be worn and loved, but being mindful of when and where you wear it can help preserve its beauty. Remove your jewelry before working out, sleeping, or doing household chores to prevent unnecessary stress on delicate pieces.
6. Travel Smart
When traveling, keep your jewelry safe in a dedicated travel case or soft pouch. This prevents tangling and ensures your pieces stay protected while on the go.
7. Know Your Metals
Different materials require different care. Vienna Domani’s gold-plated and PVD-coated pieces are designed for durability, but all jewelry benefits from proper maintenance. Gold and stainless steel are naturally resistant to tarnishing, while silver may require occasional polishing.
8. Regular Check-Ups
Inspect your jewelry for any signs of wear, such as loose stones or clasps. Addressing minor issues early can prevent further damage and keep your pieces in perfect condition.
Caring for your jewelry doesn’t have to be complicated. With these simple steps, you can keep your favorite pieces looking as beautiful as ever—ready to elevate any outfit, any time.
