JEWELRY CARE GUIDE

By Molnia’s jewelry collection is crafted from high-quality 925 sterling silver, with many pieces plated with 18k gold or rhodium for added durability and beauty. Although our jewelry is designed to be long-lasting, proper care is essential to maintain its shine and prolong its life. Below, you will find detailed guidelines on how to take care of your jewelry.

General Care Tips

  • Avoid Contact with Water: While minimal exposure to water may not immediately harm the jewelry, we strongly recommend avoiding water contact as a general rule. Regular exposure can degrade the plating and affect the luster and durability of your pieces.
  • Keep Away from Chemicals: Ensure your jewelry does not come into contact with household cleaning agents, perfumes, lotions, and hairspray. These substances can cause tarnishing and diminish the quality of the plating.
  • Remove Before Physical Activities: Take off your jewelry when engaging in physical activities such as exercising, swimming, or gardening. This will prevent accidental damage, exposure to sweat, and potential scratches.
  • Store Properly: Always store your jewelry in a cool, dry place. Use a soft-lined jewelry box or a fabric pouch to protect each piece from scratches and tarnishing. Avoid storing multiple pieces together to prevent them from scratching each other.

Specific Care for Sterling Silver and Gold-Plated Jewelry

  • Polish Regularly: Gently polish your 925 sterling silver jewelry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to maintain its shine. Use a specialized silver polishing cloth for best results.
  • Avoid Abrasive Materials: Never use paper towels or tissues to clean your jewelry, as these can cause scratches.
  • Protect Gold-Plated Pieces: Gold-plated jewelry should be handled with extra care to avoid wearing off the layer of gold. Regularly clean with a damp cloth and dry it immediately with a soft cloth to maintain the gold plating.

 

Additional Recommendations

  • Limit Water Contact: While brief contact with water once or twice may not cause immediate damage, we highly recommend minimizing water exposure to ensure the longevity of your jewelry, especially rings.
  • Regular Inspections: Check your jewelry regularly for any signs of wear, loose settings, or damage. Addressing these issues promptly will help maintain the quality of your pieces.
