Jewelry Care Guide | Marinty™
At Marinty™, every piece of jewelry is more than an accessory — it is a reflection of elegance, craftsmanship, and lasting beauty. To preserve the brilliance of your fine jewelry, gentle care and thoughtful storage are essential. Follow this guide to ensure your treasures remain radiant for years to come.
How to Care for Silver Jewelry
Silver jewelry naturally develops a soft patina over time as it reacts with air and moisture. To maintain its original glow, clean your silver pieces every few weeks using a soft, non-abrasive polishing cloth. This effortlessly removes tarnish and restores shine without damaging the surface.
Avoid exposing silver to harsh chemicals such as perfumes, hairspray, and household cleaners. When not worn, always store silver jewelry in an airtight pouch or box to slow the tarnishing process and preserve its beauty.
Caring for Gold-Plated & Vermeil Jewelry
Gold-plated and vermeil jewelry are crafted with elegance but require special handling. Always remove these pieces before showering, swimming, or coming into contact with water. Moisture and soap can wear down the gold layer, causing fading and dullness over time.
For long-lasting brilliance, wear your gold-plated jewelry on dry skin and store it in a soft pouch away from humidity and direct sunlight.
How to Store Jewelry Properly
Proper storage protects your jewelry from scratches, moisture, and dullness. Keep each piece in a soft-lined jewelry box or individual anti-tarnish pouch to avoid damage from friction and exposure.
To further protect your collection, place silica gel packets or anti-tarnish strips in your jewelry box — they absorb excess moisture and help keep your pieces fresh and flawless.
Safe Cleaning Methods for Fine Jewelry
Avoid using toothpaste, baking soda, or abrasive household products to clean your jewelry. These materials can scratch metal surfaces and weaken gemstones.
Instead, gently clean jewelry using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth or brush specifically designed for fine jewelry. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth to prevent water marks.
Pearl Jewelry Care
Pearls are timeless and delicate, requiring special attention. Always apply cosmetics and perfume before wearing pearls, and remove them first at the end of the day.
After each wear, wipe pearls gently with a soft damp cloth to remove body oils and residue. Store pearl jewelry in a breathable fabric pouch rather than plastic to allow natural moisture balance and prevent cracking.
Preventing Tarnish When Not Wearing Jewelry
Even unworn jewelry can tarnish due to exposure to air, humidity, and environmental chemicals. To keep your pieces looking new, store them in airtight compartments and clean them occasionally with a polishing cloth.
A consistent care routine slows oxidation and ensures your jewelry remains luminous between wears.
Gemstone Jewelry Care
Precious gemstones should always be treated with care. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, or hot water — especially for softer stones such as opals, turquoise, and emeralds.
Clean gemstone jewelry gently using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Finish by drying each stone with a lint-free cloth to preserve clarity and brilliance.
Preserve Your Investment
Jewelry is not only a symbol of beauty — it is an investment in craftsmanship and personal style. With proper care, your Marinty™ pieces will remain exquisite, radiant, and ready to be cherished for generations.
