How to Care for Your Jewellery: Tips to Keep It Timeless

Jewellery isn’t just an accessory — it’s a story. At Avocado, every piece is an art invented with care using Sterling Silver, Gold, Brass, Copper, gemstones, and freshwater pearls, making each creation unique and full of meaning.

1. Wear It Often — Yes, Really!

It may sound surprising, but one of the best ways to prevent tarnish on your silver jewellery is to wear it regularly. Your skin’s natural oils help keep silver bright and clean.

Let your jewellery live with you — not just sit in a drawer.

2. Avoid Contact with Water, Perfumes & Lotions

While our jewellery is designed to last, water and chemicals can speed up tarnishing, especially with silver and gold-filled pieces. Be mindful to:

Remove jewellery before swimming or showering
Apply perfume, lotion, or hair products before putting jewellery on
Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity

3. Remove Before Bed, Exercise, or Cleaning

Your jewellery needs rest too!

Sleeping or sweating while wearing jewellery can wear down its finish or cause subtle damage over time — especially for delicate chains or gemstone settings. Take it off during:

Sleep
Workouts
Household chores or gardening

4. Clean Gently & Naturally

To keep your pieces glowing, clean them occasionally using:

A soft, lint-free polishing cloth
Warm water with a tiny drop of mild soap (only when necessary)
A gentle pat dry — never rub harshly

Tip: Never use chemical jewellery cleaners, especially on pearls or gemstones. They can damage natural finishes and materials.

5. Store it Right

Proper storage keeps jewellery untangled, untarnished, and safe from scratches. We recommend:

Keeping your jewellery in a soft pouch or airtight jewellery box
Storing silver pieces separately to avoid tarnish transfer
Lining storage spaces with natural fabric like linen or cotton

At Avocado, all our packaging is eco-conscious and perfect for long-term storage too.
