Jewelry Care
With mindful care, your jewelry’s beauty lasts a lifetime.
GENERAL JEWELRY CARE
To keep your jewelry beautiful for years to come, a little care goes a long way…
-
Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and excessive moisture.
-
Store pieces separately to prevent scratching and tangling.
-
Store in a cool, dry place… preferably in a pouch or soft lined jewelry box… to limit exposure to air and humidity, which can lead to tarnishing over time.
-
Put your jewelry on last… after applying lotions, perfumes, hair products, and makeup.
-
Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
-
Keep away from extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can affect finishes and color.
METAL JEWELRY CARE
At Ahava By Ny’zaiyah, we primarily use raw brass, pure copper, and some sterling silver… with occasional use of plated metals. Our materials are chosen for their warmth, character, and beauty.
Over time, they will naturally oxidize or develop a patina due to exposure to air, moisture, and the oils from your skin… this is completely normal… and often adds to their unique beauty.
If you prefer a more polished look, their shine can always be restored.
For regular cleaning
-
Use warm water and a mild soap with a soft cloth or toothbrush to gently remove dirt and oils.
-
Dry thoroughly before storing.
For light tarnish
-
Use a natural mix of lemon juice and baking soda.
-
Gently rub onto the metal, rinse well, and dry completely.
For heavier tarnish
-
Create a paste using baking soda and lemon juice… or vinegar and flour.
-
Apply it to the metal, let it sit briefly, then rinse and polish with a soft cloth.
Important note
-
If your jewelry includes stones or shells, take extra care… some materials are sensitive to moisture, acids, and abrasives.
-
When cleaning, focus on the metal and avoid direct contact with the stones or shells unless you know the method is safe.
With mindful care, your Ahava By Ny’zaiyah pieces will continue to shine and tell your story for years to come.
STONE JEWELRY CARE
The beads and stones used in our designs may be natural, dyed, coated, or metal, each with its own sensitivity.
Cleaning
-
Clean gently using a soft cloth.
-
Avoid soaking or harsh chemicals.
-
For heavier cleaning, lightly dampen a cloth and wipe gently, then dry thoroughly.
Storing
-
Store them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
-
Keep jewelry in a soft pouch or soft lined jewelry box to avoid scratches.
-
Handle gently... don’t drop or knock stones against hard surfaces.
STRETCH BRACELET CARE
Our stretch bracelets are made with a high-quality elastic cord designed for durability and everyday wear. While strong, the cord can lose elasticity over time… especially if overstretched.
To preserve the life of your bracelet…
-
Roll the bracelet on and off your wrist instead of pulling it wide.
-
Avoid excessive tugging or yanking.
-
Keep away from water, lotions, and perfumes, as they can weaken the cord over time.
-
Store flat or in a soft pouch, clean with a soft cloth, and roll on and off rather than stretching wide.
With gentle care, your stretch bracelet will remain strong, comfortable, and easy to wear.
