How to Care for Jewellery, Keyrings and Keepsakes

Jewellery, gemstone keyrings, ornaments, and keepsakes are made to be enjoyed, but they last longer when treated with care. A few simple habits can help protect colour, shine, finish, and structure.

The Simple Rule: Last On, First Off

Put jewellery on after perfume, lotion, sunscreen, makeup, and hairspray. Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising, sleeping, cleaning, or using chemicals.

This simple habit helps reduce exposure to moisture, oils, chemicals, and impact.

Avoid Water and Chemicals

Water, chlorine, salt water, perfume, lotions, and cleaning products can affect jewellery finishes, plating, cords, stones, and decorative elements.

Always remove jewellery before:

• Showering
• Swimming
• Exercising
• Cleaning
• Applying perfume or lotion
• Sleeping

Clean Gently

For most pieces, use a soft dry cloth after wearing. Avoid toothpaste, alcohol, bleach, harsh jewellery dips, abrasive powders, and rough brushes.

If a piece includes delicate stones, plating, glue, pearls, crystals, cords, or unknown materials, keep cleaning very gentle.

Store Each Piece Separately

Store jewellery separately to avoid scratches, tangles, and rubbing. Use a pouch, jewellery box, soft cloth bag, or separate compartment.

Chains should be closed before storage to reduce tangling. Rings and bracelets should not be stored loose against harder items.

Caring for Keyrings

Keyrings are handled often, so some wear may naturally occur over time. To help protect them, avoid dropping them, exposing them to water, or keeping them loose with sharp objects.

Caring for Home Ornaments

Keep ornaments on a stable surface away from edges, direct sunlight, moisture, and heat. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid sprays, water, and cleaning chemicals.

Travel Care

When travelling, use a small jewellery case or soft pouch. Keep pieces separated and avoid placing jewellery loose in handbags, makeup bags, or luggage.

Final Thoughts

Good care is simple: keep pieces dry, clean gently, store separately, and avoid chemicals or impact. With thoughtful care, your Crysora jewellery and keepsakes can stay beautiful for longer.
