Jewelry Care & Cleaning

To keep your JAE Jewelry looking beautiful for years to come, follow these care tips by material:

Precious & Semi-Precious Gemstones

• Avoid harsh chemicals (perfume, hairspray, cleaners).

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.

• Store in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches.

• Avoid direct sunlight or heat exposure for long periods.

Rock & Mineral Jewelry (e.g., agate, marble, malachite)

• Clean with a dry or lightly damp cloth only.

• Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.

• Keep away from water and oils to prevent surface dulling.

Freshwater Pearls

• Last on, first off: put them on after skincare and makeup.

• Wipe with a soft cloth after each wear to remove body oils.

• Never soak or submerge; store flat in a breathable pouch.

Silk-Strung Jewelry

• Keep dry—avoid water, lotions, and sprays.

• Silk can stretch over time; store flat or loosely coiled.

• Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not pull or tug.

Nylon-Strung Jewelry

• Do not expose to water or high humidity.

• Avoid sharp tugs or pulling to prevent thread stress.

• Store flat or hanging to avoid kinks or stretching.

• Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth only.

General Tips

• Remove jewelry before sleeping, showering, or exercising.

• Keep pieces separate to avoid tangling or scratching.

• For extra care, bring pieces to a professional jeweler for periodic cleaning and restringing when needed.

Is My Gold-Filled Jewelry Tarnished?

If you see black marks or dullness on your gold-filled jewelry, don't worry—it’s not tarnish.

Gold-filled jewelry doesn't tarnish like plated metals. That darkening is usually just surface buildup from oils, lotions, or everyday wear.

To restore its shine, simply clean gently with warm water, a bit of baking soda, and a soft toothbrush.

Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth—and your piece will look beautifully refreshed.
