Jewelry Care 101: How to Keep Your Pieces Looking Like New.

You’ve just bought the perfect pair of earrings or a dainty gold-plated necklace—and you’re obsessed. But after a few weeks of wear, it starts to lose its shine. Sound familiar?

The good news?
With the right care, your favorite jewelry can stay just as stunning as the day you bought it—no matter how often you wear it.

Whether you’ve got a growing collection or just a few go-to pieces, here are easy, skin-safe jewelry care tips that really work (and don’t take a ton of effort!).

1. Know What You’re Wearing

Before anything else, it's important to know what your jewelry is made of.
At CaroleinCo., we use:

• 18K gold-plated stainless steel

• Hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant materials

• Waterproof designs

That makes your care routine a whole lot easier. But for all jewelry types, these tips will still help.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Your jewelry may be water-resistant, but perfume, lotions, hairspray, and cleaning products can damage the surface over time.

Pro tip:

• Spray your perfume before putting on your jewelry.

• Let your moisturizer fully absorb into your skin first.

• Remove your rings before using cleaning products.

Even gentle products can cause build-up, dulling the shine.

3. Clean It Gently (But Regularly)

You don’t need fancy jewelry cleaners to keep things sparkling.
Here’s a simple, safe method:

You’ll need:

• A soft cloth or microfiber towel

• Warm water

• A few drops of gentle soap (like dish soap)

How to clean:

1. Mix a bowl of warm, soapy water.

2. Dip a soft cloth into the water and gently wipe your jewelry.

3. Rinse with clean water.

4. Dry completely with a dry cloth.

Avoid scrubbing or soaking delicate pieces. For detailed designs, use a soft toothbrush.

4. Store It Like a Pro

Your jewelry deserves more than a tangled spot on the bathroom counter.
Here’s how to store it properly:

• Use a jewelry box with compartments to prevent scratches.

• Store in a cool, dry place—avoid humidity (like bathrooms).

• For travel, use a soft pouch or individual zip bags to protect each piece.

This prevents tangling, tarnishing, and accidental damage.

5. Yes, You Can Shower in It—But Know When to Take It Off

Our pieces at Carolein are made to handle daily wear—yes, even showers.
But for maximum longevity, consider removing your jewelry when:

• Give your jewelry a rest overnight to keep it looking new.

• Applying sunscreen or body oils. (Wear jewelry after applying creams or sunscreen to keep it shining).

• Doing heavy workouts or housework

Think of it like skincare—you want to preserve the glow.

Bonus: Rotate Your Favorites

Wearing the same necklace every single day? We get it—it’s your signature look! But rotating your jewelry gives each piece a rest and helps reduce wear and tear.

Plus, it’s a great excuse to mix things up and show off your full collection.
