Caring for your Orleone jewelry is essential to maintain its beauty, brilliance, and longevity. Here, we provide expert recommendations to keep your cherished pieces looking as stunning as the day you received them.

1. Shield from Chemicals

Jewelry and chemicals don’t mix. Always remove your Orleone jewelry before using household cleaning agents, swimming, gardening, or applying beauty products. Harsh chemicals and even some everyday liquids can tarnish metal, dull gemstones, and degrade finishes, affecting both appearance and longevity.

2. Handle with Gentle Care

To keep your jewelry in pristine condition, avoid wearing it during high-impact activities or sports. Even durable metals can scratch, and gemstones may loosen if bumped too hard. Whenever not in use, store your pieces safely to prevent accidental damage.

3. Prevent Contact with Lotions and Perfumes

Household products, perfumes, and lotions can cause discoloration or a buildup of residue. Apply beauty products like lotions, perfumes, and hairspray before wearing your jewelry, and remove pieces before washing or cleaning. This simple habit will help your jewelry stay radiant.

4. Store Properly to Avoid Tarnishing and Scratches

Jewelry storage matters. Keep your Orleone jewelry in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dedicated jewelry box with compartments to prevent tangling or scratching. Avoid humid areas, as moisture accelerates tarnishing of metals and affects gemstone quality.

5. Regular Cleaning for Lasting Shine

Gently clean your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its shine. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush to remove any accumulated dirt or oils. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage delicate surfaces.

6. Professional Maintenance for Lasting Quality

To ensure longevity, have your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected annually or as needed based on how often you wear it. Skilled jewelers can safely restore the sparkle to your pieces and check for any wear, like loose settings or worn prongs, before problems arise.

7. Inspect Gemstones and Clasps Regularly

Regularly checking that settings and clasps are secure is essential. If a gemstone feels loose or a clasp is no longer holding well, it’s best to seek repair immediately. Proactive care will prevent loss and keep your jewelry safe for daily wear.

8. Extra Care for Delicate Gemstones

Certain gemstones like opal, pearl, emerald, peridot, and tanzanite are particularly sensitive to temperature, chemicals, and abrasion. Treat these stones with extra care by avoiding exposure to chemicals and extreme temperatures, and always store them separately to prevent scratching.
