Jewelry Care

At Zolar, we design our jewelry to be versatile and durable, and with a little extra care, your pieces will continue to shine brightly for years to come. Follow these simple tips to keep your Zolar jewelry in top condition:

1. General Care Tips

• Avoid Moisture: Keep your jewelry dry by removing it before showering, swimming, or exercising. Moisture can cause metals to tarnish and dull the shine of your stones.
• Store Properly: When not in use, store your jewelry in a dry, cool place, ideally in a jewelry box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and tangling.
• Handle with Care: Put on your jewelry after applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray. These products can contain chemicals that may damage your jewelry over time.

2. Cleaning Your Jewelry

• Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish your jewelry and remove any dust or oils. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use bleach, alcohol, or other harsh chemicals on your jewelry, as these can cause discoloration and damage.
• Professional Cleaning: For pieces that need extra attention, consider taking them to a professional jeweler for cleaning and maintenance. They have the tools and expertise to keep your jewelry looking like new.

3. Caring for Specific Materials

• Gold and Gold-Plated Jewelry: Gold is a durable metal, but it can still scratch or lose its luster over time. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and store each piece separately to avoid scratching. For gold-plated jewelry, take extra care to avoid over-polishing, as this can wear down the plating.
• Sterling Silver: Sterling silver can tarnish when exposed to air and light. To minimize tarnishing, store your silver jewelry in an airtight container or a special anti-tarnish bag. Use a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish and restore shine.
• Gemstones: Different gemstones require different care. For softer stones like opals and turquoise, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures. Clean gemstones with a soft brush and mild soapy water, and always dry them thoroughly.
• Pearls: Pearls are delicate and can be easily scratched. Wipe them with a soft cloth after each wear to remove any oils or residues. Store pearls flat in a soft cloth pouch to avoid contact with harder gemstones or metals.
