Caring for Your Modern Jewelry:
Introduction
Jewelry is more than just an accessory; it’s a reflection of your personal style and a cherished part of your wardrobe. Whether it’s a delicate necklace, a bold statement ring, or a pair of elegant earrings, each piece from Moenart & Co. is designed to be a timeless addition to your collection. However, to keep your jewelry looking as beautiful as the day you bought it, proper care and maintenance are essential. This blog offers practical tips on how to care for your modern jewelry, ensuring its longevity and enduring elegance.
Daily Wear
While Moenart & Co. jewelry is designed to be durable, it’s important to be mindful of how and when you wear your pieces. Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals, such as those found in cleaning products or swimming pools, as these can tarnish metals and damage gemstones. Additionally, try to remove your jewelry before engaging in activities that could cause scratches or other damage, such as gardening or exercising.
Cleaning Your Jewelry
Regular cleaning is key to maintaining the shine and luster of your jewelry. However, it’s important to use the right methods and products to avoid damaging your pieces. For most items, a simple solution of warm water and mild dish soap will suffice. Gently scrub the jewelry with a soft toothbrush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. For pieces with intricate designs or delicate stones, consider having them professionally cleaned by Moenart & Co. or a trusted jeweler to ensure they are properly cared for.
Proper Storage
How you store your jewelry can greatly impact its longevity. Keep your pieces in a cool, dry place, preferably in a jewelry box with separate compartments to prevent scratching. For items with delicate chains or soft stones, storing them in individual pouches or wrapping them in soft cloth can provide extra protection. It’s also a good idea to keep your jewelry out of direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause some gemstones to fade.
Handling Delicate Pieces
Some pieces of jewelry require extra care due to their design or materials. For example, pearls and opals are softer than other gemstones and can be easily scratched. Handle these pieces with care, and avoid wearing them when applying cosmetics, as the chemicals can dull their shine.

To keep your jewelry in top condition, it’s a good idea to have it professionally inspected and cleaned once a year.
