Jewellery Care Guide | How to Clean & Store Jewellery – Rubinoo
Jewellery is more than an accessory — it’s a memory, an emotion, and often a piece of art. Whether it’s a vintage-inspired ring, an heirloom-style earring, or a statement necklace you reach for often, proper care ensures your jewellery stays as beautiful as the day you first wore it.
At Rubinoo, every piece is thoughtfully handcrafted, blending old-world charm with modern elegance. With the right care, your jewellery can last for generations. Here’s our complete guide to caring for your precious accessories.
1. Store Your Jewellery the Right Way
How you store your jewellery matters more than you think.
Best practices:
-
Store each piece separately to avoid scratches and tangling.
-
Use soft pouches, fabric-lined boxes, or anti-tarnish zip bags.
-
Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat.
-
Add silica gel or anti-tarnish strips to your jewellery box to absorb moisture.
✨ Tip: Oxidised and silver jewellery tarnishes faster when exposed to air — airtight storage is key.
2. Wear with Care: Timing is Everything
Jewellery should be the final touch to your look.
Avoid wearing jewellery while:
-
Applying perfume, hairspray, lotions, or makeup
-
Bathing, swimming, or washing hands
-
Exercising or doing household chores
Chemicals, sweat, and water can dull the finish and weaken metal over time.
✨ Golden rule: Put your jewellery on last and take it off first.
3. Cleaning Your Jewellery at Home
Regular gentle cleaning keeps jewellery radiant.
For Silver & Oxidised Jewellery
-
Use a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and moisture.
-
For deeper cleaning, gently wipe with a silver polishing cloth.
-
Avoid liquid dips for oxidised jewellery — they can remove the intentional dark finish.
For Beaded & Stone Jewellery
-
Wipe gently with a dry microfiber cloth.
-
Never soak in water or use harsh cleaners.
-
Keep away from steam and humidity.
⚠️ Avoid toothpaste, baking soda, or abrasive brushes — these can damage delicate surfaces.
4. Preventing Tarnish on Metal
Tarnishing is natural, especially for silver and oxidised pieces — but it can be slowed.
How to prevent tarnish:
-
Store jewellery in airtight containers
-
Remove jewellery before sleeping
-
Keep away from moisture and sweat
-
Clean gently after every wear
✨ Pro tip: Wear your silver jewellery often — natural skin oils can actually help reduce tarnish.
5. Travel Smart with Jewellery
When travelling, jewellery needs extra care.
-
Use travel jewellery organizers or individual pouches
-
Avoid tossing pieces loosely into handbags
-
Carry delicate or valuable jewellery in your cabin bag
Your jewellery deserves as much attention as your outfits.
6. When Not in Use, Let It Rest
Jewellery, especially handcrafted pieces, benefits from rest.
Rotate your jewellery instead of wearing the same piece daily. This helps maintain its structure, polish, and longevity.
Final Thought: Jewellery is an Investment in Emotion
Every Rubinoo piece is designed to be worn, loved, and remembered. With mindful care, your jewellery won’t just last — it will age beautifully, carrying stories of moments, moods, and memories.
Treat your jewellery with intention, and it will continue to adorn you for years to come.
