Protecting Against Chemicals:

Chemicals like perfume, lotions, and body oils can impact the longevity of your jewelry. These substances may cause gold-plated items to lose their luster, and sterling silver to darken. Combat these effects by following our care instructions diligently.

General Care Tips:

  1. Clean with a Soft Cloth:

    • Gently clean your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use. This removes any residue and helps maintain its shine.

  2. Avoid Chemical Exposure:

    • Limit exposure to chemicals. Apply perfume, lotions, and body oils before putting on your jewelry to minimize contact.

  3. Store Separately:

    • Store each piece separately to prevent scratching. Use individual compartments or pouches to protect against friction.

  4. Remove During Activities:

    • Take off your jewelry during activities that may expose it to harsh conditions, such as swimming or exercising.

  5. Regular Inspections:

    • Periodically inspect your jewelry for any signs of damage or loose components. Address issues promptly to prevent further damage.

Gold-Plated Jewelry Care:

Gold-plated jewelry exudes elegance, but proper care is essential to maintain its allure.

  1. Avoid Abrasives:

    • Refrain from using abrasive materials during cleaning. Stick to soft cloths to prevent scratching the delicate gold layer.

  2. Gentle Cleaning:

    • Clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Ensure thorough drying to prevent water spots.
    • Your order will include a cleaning cloth safe for use on our Gold Plated Jewelry as well as our stainless steel and sterling silver pieces. 

  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

    • Keep gold-plated pieces away from harsh chemicals, including household cleaners and chlorine.

Stainless Steel Jewelry Care:

Stainless steel jewelry is durable, but a little care goes a long way.

  1. Regular Cleaning:

    • Clean stainless steel with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Use a soft brush to reach intricate parts.

  2. Polishing:

    • Periodically polish your stainless steel pieces with a soft cloth to maintain their shine. 

  3. Avoid Scratches:

    • Although stainless steel is resistant to scratches, store it separately to avoid potential abrasions.

Sterling Silver Jewelry Care:

Sterling silver jewelry possesses timeless beauty, and proper care ensures it stands the test of time.

  1. Polishing Cloth:

    • Use a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Gently rub the surface to restore its original brilliance.

  2. Avoid Humidity:

    • Store sterling silver in a dry place, away from humidity, to prevent tarnishing.

  3. Anti-Tarnish Strips:

    • Consider using anti-tarnish strips when storing sterling silver to minimize oxidation.

Every Order Includes a Storage Pouch and Cleaning Cloth:

  • We want your jewelry care routine to be convenient. That's why every order from Mena Jewelry Company includes a stylish storage pouch and a soft cleaning cloth. These additions make it easy to store your pieces safely and maintain their brilliance with ease.

By following these care instructions, you'll not only enhance the longevity of your jewelry but also preserve its inherent beauty. At Mena Jewelry Company, we believe that caring for your treasures is an investment in their lasting elegance.
