Jewelry Care & Maintenance Guide
At PINGUCCI, we are committed to creating high-quality fashion jewelry designed for everyday wear. With proper care, your pieces can maintain their shine and brilliance over time.
Jewelry naturally experiences daily wear, and exposure to lotions, sweat, and cleaning products may gradually affect the plating, loosen stone settings, or dull the surface finish. These changes are normal over time and can be minimized with proper care.
We recommend reading this guide to better understand the materials used in our jewelry and how to extend its lifespan.
There is nothing better than seeing your jewelry shine after proper cleaning. The good news is that most fashion jewelry is easy to maintain at home using simple tools and gentle methods.
How to Care for Your Jewelry
Keep Your Jewelry Dry
Avoid wearing your jewelry while swimming, bathing, or exercising. Moisture and sweat may affect the plating and reduce shine over time.
Avoid Chemicals
Keep your jewelry away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, cleaning products, and hand sanitizers, as these may damage the finish and dull the surface.
Wear Jewelry Last
Always put your jewelry on after applying skincare products, makeup, or fragrance.
Store Properly
When not in use, store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling. If you live in a humid environment, adding a small desiccant packet can help protect the finish.
Avoid storing jewelry with rubber or other reactive materials.
How to Clean Your Jewelry
For best results, clean your jewelry regularly using gentle methods:
- Use warm water and mild soap
- Gently wipe with a soft microfiber or polishing cloth
- Rinse carefully and dry completely before storing
Avoid excessive rubbing, especially on plated surfaces, to preserve the finish.
What to Avoid
To protect your jewelry, please avoid the following:
- Household cleaners such as bleach or acetone
- Abrasive materials like toothpaste or baking soda
- Paper towels, which may scratch the surface
- Ultrasonic cleaners, which may loosen stone settings
- Soaps with added moisturizers, which can leave residue
How Often to Clean
We recommend cleaning your jewelry every 1–2 weeks depending on how often you wear it. Regular care helps maintain shine and reduces buildup from daily wear.
Important Reminder
Fashion jewelry is designed for style and everyday expression. To ensure long-lasting wear:
- Avoid wearing during swimming or bathing
- Avoid excessive sweat exposure
- Avoid direct contact with chemicals
- Store separately after use
With proper care, your jewelry will continue to shine and remain a staple in your daily style.
