Jewelry Care

At AUFILDELO, we craft jewelry to be cherished for years to come. To help you keep your pieces looking their best, we’ve put together these care tips and best practices.

Keep It Clean

To preserve the shine and finish, gently clean your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, you can use a mild soap and warm water solution, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage delicate surfaces.

Avoid Exposure to Chemicals

Protect your jewelry from exposure to:

  • Perfume, hair spray, and lotions

  • Household cleaners

  • Chlorine and saltwater

These substances can dull shine and impact plating or gemstones.

Remove Before Activities

Please remove your jewelry before:

  • Showering or swimming

  • Exercising or heavy lifting

  • Sleeping

This minimizes unnecessary wear and reduces the risk of bending, scratching, or loss.

Store Properly

Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place. We recommend:

  • Using individual compartments or pouches

  • Avoiding contact with other pieces to prevent scratches

  • Closing clasps to prevent tangling

Special Care for Plated Jewelry

Items with plating (such as gold or rhodium plating) require extra gentleness:

  • Avoid prolonged contact with water or sweat

  • Polish with a soft cloth only

  • Re-plating may be needed over time if wear occurs

Gemstone & Pearl Care

Gemstones and pearls are beautiful but can be sensitive:

  • Wipe pearls with a soft cloth after wear

  • Avoid direct impact or sudden temperature changes

  • Store pearls separately to prevent scratching

Professional Maintenance

For intricate or heirloom jewelry, consider professional cleaning and inspection once a year. A jeweler can check prongs, clasps, and settings to ensure lasting quality.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Tarnish: Silver and some metals can tarnish with time. Use a jewelry-safe polishing cloth or silver-specific cleaner.
Loose Stones: If a stone feels loose, avoid wearing until it’s professionally secured. Contact us for guidance.
Scratches: Fine scratches are normal with everyday wear. Regular gentle polishing helps maintain a smooth finish.
