Your Ivy & Pearl Co. jewelry is crafted to the highest standards, combining elegance, durability, and comfort. To ensure its beauty lasts, we’ve created a refined care guide to help you preserve each piece’s luxurious shine and quality.

1. General Care

• Store with Care: Place each piece in its own soft pouch or lined jewelry box, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Separating your jewelry prevents scratches and maintains its pristine finish.
• Limit Chemical Exposure: To protect the luxurious quality of your jewelry, avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, and household cleaners. Even hypoallergenic pieces benefit from limited exposure to chemicals, maintaining their natural radiance.
• The Final Touch: For an added level of care, make your jewelry the last accessory you put on and the first to remove. This minimizes the potential for tangling or damage and keeps each piece as elegant as the day you received it.

2. Cleaning Your Jewelry

• Gold-Filled Jewelry: Clean gently with mild soap and warm water. Use a soft brush, like a toothbrush, to access intricate details, then rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth to maintain the gold’s natural shine.
• Sterling Silver: Polish regularly with a non-abrasive jewelry cloth to preserve its brilliance. For tarnished pieces, use a silver-specific cleaner, followed by a gentle rinse and dry.
• Gemstones: Gently wipe down gemstones with a soft, damp cloth to keep them looking brilliant. Avoid soaking or exposing porous stones, such as opal and turquoise, to water or harsh cleaners.

3. Hypoallergenic Care

• Keep Free of Oils and Sweat: Though Ivy & Pearl Co. jewelry is hypoallergenic and designed for sensitive skin, oils and sweat can affect its luster. Removing jewelry before exercising helps retain its immaculate condition.
• Polish Periodically: To keep your jewelry looking pristine, use a soft cloth every few weeks to remove any buildup from daily wear, preserving its shine and radiance.

4. Luxury Storage Solutions

• Separate by Type and Material: Keep each item in its own compartment or velvet pouch to avoid scratches and tangles. A dedicated, lined jewelry box preserves the quality of delicate items and ensures they remain as elegant as intended.
• Safe Travel Storage: When traveling, place your jewelry in a padded organizer with individual compartments, safeguarding your pieces from damage on the go.

5. Light and Sunlight Precautions

• Shield from Prolonged Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can dull the brilliance of certain gemstones and metals. Store your jewelry in a shaded location to maintain its vibrant appearance.

6. Jewelry Etiquette – When to Remove

To protect your jewelry from potential damage, remove it during the following activities:

• Swimming and Showering: Chlorine, salt water, and steam can damage finishes and alter colors.
• Household Chores: Household cleaners may contain abrasive chemicals that can impact the quality of metals and stones.
• Exercise: Jewelry should be removed before workouts to prevent exposure to sweat and accidental impact.

7. Regular Inspections

• Check for Security: Regularly inspect your pieces for loose stones or clasps to ensure they remain as secure and beautiful as the day you purchased them. A simple check will help maintain the longevity and elegance of your jewelry.
