Wondering how to care for your gold-plated pieces or preserve the shine of your silver jewelry? These questions are essential to keeping your treasures as sparkling as the first day.
Even if it's made with high-quality materials, your jewelry deserves special attention to last the test of time without losing its beauty. Discover our best tips for cleaning, storing, and protecting it every day.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR JEWELRY
A simple gesture for eternal shine.
-
A soft cloth for quick maintenance : Clean your silver jewelry with a soft cloth. At Ray Paris, each piece of jewelry purchased comes with a polishing cloth to keep it looking as good as new.
Gently rub the part with the cloth, rinse it with warm water and then dry.
-
A deep clean : If you want to go further, use a soft toothbrush dipped in warm water and mild soap to restore shine to your jewelry, then wipe dry.
KEEP YOUR JEWELRY FROM CHEMICALS
In the timeless quest to maintain the shine of your jewelry, the first golden rule is to avoid contact with chemicals.
-
Cosmetics, perfumes and lotions : Apply these before putting on your jewelry to avoid residue that dulls its shine over time.
KEEP YOUR JEWELRY DRY
- Water: Salt and chlorinated water, in particular, can damage certain metals and dull the shine of stones. Remember to remove your jewelry before diving into the water to avoid any harmful effects.
-
Sports or manual activities: We recommend removing them before engaging in these activities to avoid scratches and shocks.
These interactions can cause scratches on delicate metals and compromise the brilliance of stones, impacting the overall appearance of your jewelry.
*If you still want to keep them, it is important to rinse them with clean water after playing sports or going to the beach.
PROTECT YOUR JEWELRY
Proper storage extends the life of your jewelry.
-
Separate your jewelry : When they come into contact with each other, they can become tangled and cause scratches. Store them carefully to avoid these inconveniences.
-
Chains should be tied : They can be particularly prone to tangling, so be sure to tie or close them before storing.
-
Use a jewelry box or individual pouches : For better protection and organization, we offer our boxes and pouches.
- Keep your jewelry away from sunlight and heat.
Important note
Ray Paris does not guarantee that the gold plating of our models will last indefinitely.
Gold-plated pieces are, by default, more fragile and more likely to fade over time. The rate at which the color fades depends on multiple factors, such as the use of chemicals on the skin, the amount of perspiration, and even your skin's pH level.
This is why it is essential to adopt good maintenance to prolong their shine.
