Share
Because brilliance deserves protection.
Your jewelry isn’t just an accessory—it’s a reflection of your story, your style, and your values. Whether it’s a gift from a loved one or a signature piece you wear with intention, caring for your jewelry ensures it stays just as radiant as the moment you first wore it.
Here’s your guide to keeping each piece from Ivory Embers Co. glowing for years to come.
1. Handle with Intention
Jewelry may be small, but it’s mighty—and delicate. Always remove your pieces before exercising, swimming, or doing household chores. Chemicals, sweat, and impact can compromise both the finish and structural integrity of your favorite item.
Pro tip: Put your jewelry on after applying lotions, perfumes, or hair products to prevent residue buildup.
2. Clean Gently and Naturally
Skip harsh chemicals and instead use a soft cloth or a mild, eco-friendly soap with warm water for cleaning. For intricate pieces like chain links or filigree details, a soft-bristled toothbrush can help loosen dirt without damaging the metal.
Eco-Glow Tip: A dab of baking soda paste works wonders on sterling silver—just rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
3. Store Smartly
Keep jewelry away from humidity, sunlight, and direct contact with other pieces to avoid tangling or scratches. Use a padded jewelry box, soft fabric pouches, or even upcycled containers lined with cotton.
Organize by type: Necklaces in rows, rings on cushioned slots, and earrings on a perforated stand or pinned to felt.
4. Rotate and Rest
Let your favorites take breaks! Rotating your jewelry helps reduce wear and tear. It also gives you a chance to rediscover other pieces and experiment with new styling combinations.
Need a glow reset? Try wearing one statement piece at a time to give it center stage.
5. Repair with Respect
If a piece breaks or tarnishes beyond home care, take it to a trusted jeweler—preferably one who understands ethical sourcing and sustainable repair methods. This approach keeps your collection beautiful and minimizes waste.
Final Thought
Your jewelry is more than decoration—it’s a daily reminder of what matters. By caring for your pieces, you extend their beauty, preserve their story, and honor the values that Ivory Embers Co. stands for: brilliance, resilience, and conscious elegance.
