Jewelry Care

Cleaning your Earth Whispers jewelry requires a gentle approach to avoid damaging the materials.

Here are steps you can follow:

Materials Needed:

  1. Mild dish soap
  2. Lukewarm water
  3. Soft-bristle toothbrush or a soft cloth
  4. Microfiber cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth
  5. Jewelry polishing cloth (optional)
  6. Toothpick or cotton swab (optional)

Steps:

1. Prepare a Cleaning Solution:
Fill a bowl with lukewarm water. Add a small amount of mild dish soap to the water. Mix it gently.

2. Remove Detachable Parts:
If your bracelet has detachable components like pendants or charms, remove them to clean separately.

3. Soak the Bracelet:
Submerge the bracelet in the soapy water. Let it soak for 5-10 minutes to loosen any dirt or oils.

4. Clean with Soft Brush or Cloth:
For the stones, gently scrub with a soft-bristle toothbrush or a soft cloth. Be careful not to scratch the stones. For the metal components, use the toothbrush or cloth to clean, paying attention to crevices. 

5. Rinse Thoroughly:
Rinse the bracelet under running lukewarm water to remove any soap residue.

6. Pat Dry:
Pat the bracelet dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Ensure all components are thoroughly dried to prevent tarnishing.

7. Inspect for Residue:
Check the bracelet for any remaining soap residue. If necessary, repeat the cleaning process.

8. Polishing (Optional):
If the metal components (zinc alloy and copper) appear tarnished, you can use a jewelry polishing cloth to restore their shine.

9. Detail Cleaning (Optional):
For intricate parts or hard-to-reach areas, you can use a toothpick or cotton swab dipped in the soapy water to clean more precisely.

10. Reassemble:
If you removed any detachable parts, reassemble the bracelet once all components are completely dry.

11.Storage:
Store your clean bracelet in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing and damage.

Important Tips:

  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage both the stones and metal components.
  • Do not use hot water, as it may damage certain stones or affect the integrity of the rope chain.
  • If your stones are porous or delicate, such as pearls or opals, consult specific care guidelines for those stones.
  • Regular cleaning helps maintain the beauty and longevity of your jewelry.
