When you find a piece of jewelry you love, you want to wear it every single day. While we design Shaheeba jewelry to be durable and practical for daily wear, all fashion jewelry needs a little bit of love and attention to maintain its original sparkle.
Taking care of your pieces does not require expensive cleaners or hours of your time. By following a few simple daily habits, you can significantly extend the life of your favourite accessories.
Rule 1: Last On, First Off
Your jewelry should be the very last thing you put on before walking out the door, and the first thing you take off when you get home. This keeps your pieces safe from the harsh chemicals found in perfumes, hairsprays, cosmetics, and lotions, which can cause fashion jewelry to lose its shine over time.
Rule 2: Keep It Dry
Water is the biggest enemy of fashion jewelry. To prevent tarnishing and preserve the finish, always remove your rings, necklaces, and earrings before washing your hands, hopping in the shower, or taking a swim.
Rule 3: Store With Care
Tossing your jewelry onto a bare nightstand is a recipe for scratches and tangled chains. When you are not wearing your pieces, store them in a cool, dry place. The best practice is to keep them in a dedicated jewelry box or a soft fabric pouch, separating pieces so they do not rub against one another.
Rule 4: Wipe Them Down
At the end of the day, your jewelry collects natural oils and sweat from your skin. Give your pieces a quick, gentle wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth before putting them away. Avoid using chemical jewelry cleaners, as these are often too abrasive for fashion pieces.
Enjoy Your Pieces
Jewelry is meant to be worn and enjoyed, not kept hidden away. By integrating these quick habits into your daily routine, you can confidently wear your Shaheeba pieces day in and day out, knowing they will continue to look beautiful for a long time to come.
