After-Care Guide
Keeping Your Celoray Jewelry Radiant
What is jewlry after-care? At Celoray, your jewelry is handcrafted with care and meant to last a lifetime—but even the finest pieces deserve proper attention and love. This guide offers practical tips to help you maintain the brilliance, structure, and longevity of your custom fine jewelry.
Diamond Jewelry
-
Cleaning: Clean your diamond jewelry regularly using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, especially if the piece contains other delicate gemstones.
-
Care Tip: Though diamonds are hard, they can still scratch other jewelry. Store separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent abrasions.
Gold Jewelry (9K / 14K / 18K)
-
Avoid Chemicals: Exposure to chlorine, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products can dull or damage gold. Remove jewelry when swimming, cleaning, or applying cosmetics.
-
Polishing: Over time, gold can lose its luster. Gently polish with a jewelry cloth, or take it to a professional for re-polishing.
-
Soft Gold Warning: 18K gold, being softer, is more prone to scratches—store carefully and avoid high-impact activities while wearing.
Freshwater Pearls
-
Last On, First Off: Put pearls on after makeup and perfume; remove before undressing to avoid snags.
-
Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. Avoid soaking pearls in water or using any detergents.
-
Storage: Store flat in a soft, breathable pouch—never in airtight plastic. Avoid hanging pearl necklaces, as stringing may stretch.
Colored Gemstones
-
Know Your Stone: Some gems (like sapphires or rubies) are durable, while others (like opals, emeralds, or turquoise) require extra care. Always ask us for specific care tips when purchasing.
-
Avoid Heat & Light: Extended exposure to sunlight or heat can fade or damage some gemstones.
-
Cleaning: Use only lukewarm water and a mild cloth for softer gems. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaning unless a jeweler confirms it’s safe.
Proper Storage
-
Store each piece separately to prevent scratches and tangles. Use padded jewelry boxes, soft pouches, or individual compartments.
-
Avoid extreme humidity or dryness, which may affect both metals and organic materials like pearls or opals.
-
For travel, use structured travel cases that prevent movement and impact.
General Care Tips
-
Remove jewelry before:
-
Showering, swimming, or exercising
-
Sleeping
-
Doing household chores or gardening
-
-
Regular Checks: Inspect prongs, clasps, and chains every few months. If you notice looseness or damage, contact us for repair guidance.
