Introduction
Fashion jewelry is all about having fun with your style—layering dainty chains, adding sparkle with statement earrings, or finishing a look with a bold ring. But to keep your favorite pieces looking their best, a little extra care goes a long way.
At Gaonnori, we’re proud to design fashion jewelry in South Korea using high-quality materials. Our pieces are made to last—but like all accessories, they need some TLC to maintain their shine and beauty. Here are our top fashion jewelry care tips every stylish jewelry lover should know.
1. Keep Jewelry Dry and Away from Chemicals
Moisture is one of the biggest enemies of fashion jewelry. Water, sweat, perfume, and even lotion can cause metals to tarnish or stones to lose their sparkle. Always:
- Remove jewelry before washing your hands, showering, or swimming
- Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and body lotions
- Let skincare and makeup fully absorb before putting on your jewelry
2. Store It Smart
When you're not wearing your jewelry, how you store it makes all the difference. Improper storage can lead to scratches, tangling, and faster tarnishing. Here are a few smart storage ideas:
- Use individual pouches, zip-lock bags, or soft-lined compartments
- Keep items in a dry, cool space away from sunlight and humidity
- Use anti-tarnish strips to help preserve your metals
3. Clean Gently and Regularly
Cleaning fashion jewelry is easy, and doing it regularly helps maintain brilliance:
- Wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear
- For a deeper clean, mix warm water with a drop of mild dish soap
-
Soak for a few minutes, rinse gently, and pat dry with a clean cloth
⚠️ Avoid using harsh cleaners, ultrasonic machines, or abrasive cloths—they can damage finishes and delicate stones
4. Rotate Your Favorites
It’s tempting to wear the same go-to necklace or pair of earrings every day, but this leads to faster wear. Try to rotate your jewelry so each piece gets a break. This not only prolongs their life but also encourages you to refresh your look regularly.
5. Travel Smart
Going on a trip? Pack your jewelry with care:
- Use a travel jewelry organizer with compartments
- Store delicate items like chains separately to avoid tangling
- Carry your jewelry in your hand luggage—not your checked bag—to prevent loss
6. Know When to Remove Your Jewelry
There are moments when it’s best to take your pieces off:
- Before exercising or doing housework
- Before sleeping, to prevent snagging or bending
- Before applying hand sanitizer (alcohol can damage finishes)
By removing your jewelry at the right times, you’ll protect it from breakage and unnecessary stress.
