Jewelry Care Guide
Maintain their timeless brilliance
Your SAPFIRA jewelry is designed to last a lifetime, but like all beautiful things, it requires careful maintenance to preserve its brilliance.
Follow our expert advice to keep your pieces beautiful for years to come.
General Care Tips
Put your jewelry on last – Apply creams, perfumes, and hairspray before putting on your jewelry to avoid residue buildup.
Remove it before certain activities – Take off your jewelry before exercising, swimming, or doing household tasks to prevent exposure to chemicals, sweat, or impact.
Store it properly – Keep your jewelry in a soft fabric pouch or a lined box to prevent scratches and tangling..
Clean them regularly – Wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear and carry out a deeper cleaning from time to time.
Care for Precious Metals
Sterling Silver 925
Sterling silver naturally oxidizes over time. To prevent tarnishing, store it in an airtight pouch when not in use. Clean it using a silver polishing cloth or a mild soapy solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
18K Gold
Gold is resistant to tarnishing but can accumulate residue over time. Clean it with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Avoid exposure to chlorine, which can weaken gold over time.
Gemstone Maintenance
Diamonds & Lab-Grown Diamonds
Although extremely durable, diamonds can attract oils and dirt. Clean them with lukewarm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid touching the stone directly to reduce fingerprints.
Natural Gemstones (e.g. Sapphires, Rubies, Emeralds)
Some gemstones are more delicate than others. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for softer stones such as emeralds. Store them separately to prevent scratches.
Pearls & Opals
These organic gemstones are sensitive to humidity and chemicals. Gently wipe them with a soft cloth after each wear. Store them in a breathable pouch rather than an airtight container to prevent drying out.
For deep cleaning or repairs, we recommend professional care. If you need assistance with your SAPFIRA jewelry, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
