Jewelry Care
BELLA VIDA FINE JEWELRY CARE
Our pieces are handmade with the utmost love and care by skilled artisans, using materials that are designed to endure. They’re designed to be worn everyday, loved everyday and passed down through generations, but in order to keep them looking their best, there are some simple steps you can follow to look after them.
Please take off your jewelry before:
- Cleaning: using products that have harsh chemicals in them can damage your jewelry and doing chores that require a lot of hand movement could cause your jewelry to catch.
- Going to the gym: sweat can tarnish even high quality metal over time, so it’s best not to risk it.
- Showering/getting ready: keep your jewelry away from lotions, perfume, hairspray, oils, or any product that can potentially have harmful chemicals.
- Bed: lay it flat in a jewelry box or jewelry dish.
- Cooking: food can get trapped in the fittings or engravings and create build-up.
To clean your jewelry at home, we recommend mixing dishwashing soap (Dawn for example) with lukewarm water in a small bowl and submerging your jewelry in it for a few minutes. Then softly clean your jewelry with a spare toothbrush, before laying on a paper towel to dry.
Even if you follow all these instructions (which we hope you will!) we advise bringing your jewelry back to us for a professional clean once or twice a year. Feel free to make an appointment to do so—just click here.
