Care Guide
Stainless steel is one of the most durable materials for jewelry, but like any piece of jewelry, it requires a minimum of care to maintain its shine. Here is our complete guide to caring for your Emily Jewelry and making it last.
01
Why choose stainless steel?
Before discussing care, it is helpful to understand why stainless steel is such a wise choice. Resistant to oxidation, hypoallergenic, and virtually impervious to water, it is a metal designed for everyday wear.
The PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) gilding used on our jewelry is an advanced technique that deeply fixes the color, much more durable than a simple gold plating.
The result: jewelry that does not tarnish, does not blacken on contact with the skin, and retains its beauty for much longer.
02
Daily best practices
Caring for stainless steel jewelry begins with simple habits.
Avoid prolonged contact with:
- — Chemicals (perfumes, creams, hairspray)
- — Sea water and swimming pool chlorine
- — Household products and hand sanitizer
Our advice: apply your cosmetic products before putting on your jewelry, never the other way around. Wait a few minutes, then wear your jewelry.
03
How to clean your jewelry
Even the most durable jewelry needs regular cleaning. The good news is: it's simple.
Prepare a bowl of lukewarm water with a few drops of mild soap
Soak your jewelry for 2 to 3 minutes
Gently rub with a soft toothbrush or microfiber cloth
Rinse thoroughly with clear water
Dry immediately with a soft cloth, do not air dry to avoid marks
04
How to store your jewelry
Storage is often overlooked, but it plays an essential role in the lifespan of your jewelry.
- — Store each piece of jewelry separately to avoid rubbing and tangling
- — Use the case provided with your Emily Jewelry order
- — Avoid damp places (bathroom) or direct sunlight
- — Prefer a dry place with stable temperature
For necklaces: hang them rather than laying them flat; this prevents knots and preserves the chain.
