How to Take Care of Your Jewellery

We want you to love and wear your SAFIRA jewellery for many years to come. To help you preserve its shine, we have gathered our best tips for taking care of your jewellery in the best way.

AVOID WATER AND CHEMICALS

Water and chemicals can affect the shine of your jewellery and the longevity of its plating. To protect your jewellery, we recommend following these tips:

• Apply makeup, perfume, body lotion and other products first. Wait a few minutes until the products have absorbed before putting on your jewellery. This reduces the risk of chemicals damaging the surface.

• Take off your jewellery before showering, bathing or coming into contact with water. This is especially important when swimming in pools or the sea, as chlorine and saltwater are particularly harmful to jewellery.

• Avoid wearing jewellery when working out or doing household chores, as sweat and cleaning products can cause wear and tear.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Regular cleaning helps maintain the shine of your jewellery and keeps it free from dirt and dust. Here are some simple steps:

• Use a soft, dry cloth to gently polish the surface and restore the shine.

• If needed, use lukewarm water and a mild soap or dishwashing detergent to clean your jewellery. Dip a soft brush or cloth and gently clean. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

• Avoid using polish or harsh cleaning products, especially on plated jewellery, as these can damage the plating.

STORAGE

Store your jewellery properly to avoid scratches and unnecessary wear:

• Store your jewellery separately to prevent it from being scratched by other pieces. A jewellery box with individual compartments or soft pouches is ideal.

• Keep your jewellery away from direct sunlight and high humidity, as this can affect its appearance over time.

• If you are not using your jewellery for an extended period, it can be beneficial to store it in an airtight container to reduce oxidation on silver jewellery.
