Care Instructions for Our Jewelry
Quality and Durability
At Pacret, we are dedicated to excellence in quality, artisanship, and design. We craft our jewelry using only solid precious metals and finely cut precious gemstones of superior color. This commitment ensures that our pieces are durable and can last a lifetime.
General Care Guidelines
Despite the lasting durability of our jewelry, proper care is essential to maintain its beauty. Here are some key points to consider:
- Natural Wear and Tear: It is natural for jewelry made of precious metals to develop small surface scratches over time and for the color of the metal to mature slightly. This is a normal part of the aging process.
- Polishing: To restore shine to your jewelry, gently use a polishing cloth. Regular polishing helps maintain the brilliance of the metal and gemstones.
Specific Care Recommendations
- Wearing Jewelry: While our jewelry is designed to withstand everyday activities, including showering, swimming, and cleaning, it's best to remove it during these activities to prevent residue buildup. Cleaning products, in particular, can leave a film on textured parts of the jewelry, making it appear unclean.
- Cleaning Jewelry: If your jewelry does collect any dirt or residue, it can be cleaned to restore its original appearance. Use a gentle cleaning solution appropriate for precious metals and gemstones, or consult a professional jeweler for cleaning advice.
Special Considerations for Sterling Silver
- Oxidation: A very small percentage of cleaning and cosmetics products can oxidize sterling silver, causing it to turn black. While this can be removed with a polishing cloth on flat surfaces, textured areas may require professional cleaning to fully remove oxidation.
Cleaning Options
Depending on the level of cleaning required, you have three options to clean your jewelry:
- Light Cleaning: To clean a flat part of polished jewelry, use a jewelry polishing cloth to bring back the shine to the metal.
- Intermediate Cleaning: Soak the jewelry in warm water with a few drops of washing up liquid for 10 minutes. Use a gentle brush to clean the areas where dirt has collected.
- Professional Cleaning: For heavily oxidized or deeply textured areas, seek professional cleaning services to ensure your jewelry is properly cared for without risk of damage.
By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your jewelry retains its exquisite appearance.
