How Do I Care for and Clean My Jewelry?
At Love Catcher, we create meaningful memorial and personalized keepsakes designed to keep your most cherished memories close to your heart. To ensure your jewelry preserves its beauty, luster, and structural integrity for years to come, proper care and regular cleaning are essential.
How should I clean my jewelry?
When your jewelry needs refreshing, clean it in gentle, circular motions with a soft, lint-free cloth (like the one we provide you with!). Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive polishing pastes, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these are too aggressive for memorial and personalized settings. You can also rinse the piece thoroughly with clean water and pat it completely dry with a soft towel before storing.
As for how often you should clean your memorial jewelry, a gentle wipe with a soft cloth after each wear is ideal. Deeper cleaning with mild soap and warm water should only be done occasionally when visible dullness or buildup occurs.
What environmental factors should I avoid?
To preserve the delicate finish of your keepsake, avoid exposure to chemicals, high heat, or prolonged moisture. Common household itemsโsuch as perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and cleaning agentsโcan cause damage or discoloration. Always apply your cosmetics and styling products and allow them to fully dry before putting on your jewelry.
When should I not wear my jewelry to prevent damage to my piece?
Always remove your Love Catcher pieces before swimming, showering, or engaging in vigorous activities or exercise. Sweat, chlorinated pool water, and saltwater can strip away the metal's natural shine and degrade personalized elements. Taking off your jewelry during strenuous tasks also prevents accidental scratches or impact damage.
How should I store my jewelry?
When you are not wearing your keepsake, keep your jewelry in the provided storage box or one of your own. This protects it from dust and minimizes exposure to open air, which can accelerate tarnishing. Additionally, ensure your storage area avoids contact with rubber materials, as rubber releases compounds that can permanently discolor certain precious metals.
