JEWELRY CARE

At De Couer New York, our finest jewelry is crafted to last a lifetime. However, with normal wear, you need to give some extra TLC to your jewelry to keep it looking as good as new. To help you with it, we've put together a Basic Jewelry Care Guide with some easy steps for you to follow. We hope that you'll find these guidelines helpful!

Clean your jewellery carefully with a soft, non-abrasive and lint-free cloth or chamois; this helps maintain or bring back its shine. If necessary, you can use a mild washing up liquid with warm water and a soft toothbrush, then rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using ‘dip’ polish or abrasive jewelry cleaners as these contain harsh chemicals and can destroy your jewelry over time.

Remove Jewelry during Daily Tasks

When performing manual tasks including household chores, remove your jewelry to prevent physical damage or exposure to chemicals or cleaning fluids. Some tasks that should be avoided when wearing jewelry include cooking, gardening, cleaning the house and other similar chores.

Remove Your Jewelry before Bathing

Remove all jewelry before showering. Bathing soap may cause a film of foam to settle on your jewelry, making it appear dull.

Wear your Jewelry after Applying Makeup

Cosmetics, hairspray, perfumes and lotion can contain chemicals that can often cause damage to your jewelry. Wearing jewelry on after applying using these products will limit exposure of chemicals to your jewelry and any other potential damage.

Don't Wear Jewelry when Swimming or in the Spa

Chlorinated water can react with the metals found in jewelry causing color changes and even structural damage. As a result, it is a good idea to remove jewelry before entering the pool or spa.
