Your jewelry is designed to be worn, styled and enjoyed. With a little thoughtful care, you can help preserve its finish, shine and appearance for longer.
Because jewelry materials and finishes vary by design, we recommend checking the Materials section on each PIMOSFER product page before cleaning or caring for your piece.
Everyday Jewelry Care
Jewelry naturally comes into contact with skin, moisture, cosmetics and the environment throughout the day. These factors can gradually affect plated finishes, stones and decorative details over time.
To help keep your jewelry looking its best:
- Put jewelry on after applying perfume, lotion, makeup, hairspray and other beauty products.
- Remove jewelry before showering, bathing, swimming or exercising.
- Avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat and humidity.
- Remove rings before washing your hands, cleaning or using household chemicals.
- Avoid wearing jewelry while sleeping to reduce unnecessary friction and pressure.
- Handle delicate chains, pearls, stones and ear cuffs gently.
How to Clean Your Jewelry
For regular care, gently wipe your jewelry after wear with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. This helps remove oils, moisture and everyday residue from the surface.
For plated jewelry, avoid soaking the piece in water or using harsh cleaning products.
Do not use:
- Toothpaste
- Alcohol or disinfectant
- Bleach or household cleaners
- Abrasive polishing compounds
- Jewelry cleaning dips unless specifically suitable for the material
- Hard brushes or rough cloths
Aggressive cleaning can scratch surfaces, loosen stones or gradually wear away plated finishes.
How to Care for Gold-Tone and Silver-Tone Plated Jewelry
Plated jewelry features a thin decorative metal finish over a base metal. Like all plated jewelry, the finish may gradually change over time depending on frequency of wear, skin chemistry, moisture, friction and exposure to cosmetic products.
To help extend the life of the plating, keep your jewelry as dry as possible and avoid repeated rubbing against hard surfaces.
When removing your jewelry, gently wipe it clean before storing it separately.
How to Care for Pearls
Pearls and simulated pearls should be treated gently. Their surfaces can be more sensitive to moisture, perfume, cosmetics and abrasive materials.
- Wipe pearls gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
- Avoid soaking them in water.
- Keep perfume and hairspray away from the pearl surface.
- Do not use abrasive polishing cloths or harsh jewelry cleaners.
- Store pearl jewelry separately to help prevent scratching.
How to Care for Cubic Zirconia, Glass Stones and Decorative Details
Stone-set jewelry should be handled carefully to help protect both the stones and their settings.
Avoid dropping your jewelry or exposing it to strong impact, as this may damage stones, settings or decorative components.
To clean stone-set pieces, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid pulling, twisting or pressing directly on delicate settings.
How to Store Your Jewelry
Proper storage can help reduce scratching, tangling, moisture exposure and unnecessary friction between pieces.
We recommend:
- Storing each piece separately whenever possible.
- Keeping jewelry in its original pouch, box or a soft-lined jewelry case.
- Closing necklace and bracelet clasps before storage to help prevent tangling.
- Keeping jewelry away from direct sunlight, heat and humid environments.
- Avoiding storage in bathrooms, where moisture levels are often higher.
Caring for Earrings and Ear Cuffs
Wipe earrings and ear cuffs gently after wear, especially around areas that come into direct contact with the skin.
For ear cuffs, avoid repeatedly bending or opening the metal more than necessary. Adjust the cuff gently and only as much as required for a comfortable, secure fit.
Always check the individual product page for specific wearing instructions, as construction and fit may vary by design.
Caring for Rings
Rings are often exposed to more friction and moisture than other jewelry because of frequent hand washing and daily activities.
We recommend removing rings before washing your hands, applying hand cream, cleaning, exercising or handling chemicals.
Store rings separately from harder jewelry pieces to help minimize surface scratches.
Caring for Necklaces and Bracelets
Remove necklaces and bracelets carefully without pulling on chains, links or decorative elements.
After wear, wipe the piece gently and fasten the clasp before storing it flat or separately to help prevent tangling.
Avoid applying perfume directly onto necklaces or bracelets, particularly when they sit close to the skin.
Can I Wear PIMOSFER Jewelry in Water?
PIMOSFER jewelry is designed to withstand occasional everyday moisture, but our plated pieces are not intended for prolonged water exposure.
To help preserve the finish, we recommend removing your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising or entering saunas and hot tubs.
Will Plated Jewelry Tarnish or Fade?
Plated jewelry may naturally change in appearance over time. How quickly this happens can vary depending on wear, skin chemistry, climate, moisture, friction and contact with cosmetics or chemicals.
Careful wear, gentle cleaning and proper storage can help preserve the appearance of your jewelry for longer.
A Final Care Note
Jewelry is made to become part of your personal atmosphere. Treat each piece with care, keep it away from unnecessary moisture and chemicals, and store it thoughtfully between wears.
