Have you ever looked down at your favorite necklace or cherished ring and noticed it’s missing that original sparkle? It’s a common experience—our handmade treasures might lose their luster when life gets busy, but a few mindful habits can protect their beauty for years to come.
At Bijou by Sam, every piece of jewelry is thoughtfully handcrafted from ethical materials and inspired by the beauty of nature. But even the most well-made pieces need gentle care to keep them at their best. Preserving the longevity and shine of your jewelry isn’t just about looks; it’s about cherishing the memories and artistry behind each piece.
Everyday Habits That Make a Difference
Store Separately
Keep your jewelry in a soft-lined box or pouch away from direct sunlight. This prevents scratches and fading, especially for delicate gemstones and precious metals.
Avoid Chemicals
Lotions, perfumes, and even soap can dull finishes or harm natural materials. Put on your jewelry last when getting ready and remove it before cleaning or swimming.
Gentle Cleaning
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe necklaces, rings, and bracelets after each wear. For a deeper clean, only use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly with a fabric made for jewelry care.
Embrace Each Piece’s Story
Your jewelry tells a story—whether it’s tied to a special moment or simply brings you joy every day. With a little attention, you can preserve both its brilliance and the memories it holds.
