There’s no heartbreak like watching your favorite necklace lose its shimmer or your go-to ring start to dull. But don’t worry, sparkle queen—we’ve got you covered. Whether you're rocking gold, sterling silver, or plated metals, each deserves a little TLC to keep your jewelry box glowing.

At Jena Jewelry, our handcrafted beaded and wire-wrapped pieces are made with quality materials designed to shine beautifully through everyday wear. But like anything precious, they still need proper care. Let’s break down the best ways to protect your jewelry so it stays just as stunning as the day you got it.

Gold-Filled + Gold-Plated Jewelry

Keep the glow without the tarnish.

Gold jewelry is a classic, but oils from your skin, perfumes, and even the air can take a toll over time. Always remove gold-filled or gold-plated pieces before showering, working out, or applying lotion. Wipe them gently with a soft microfiber cloth after each wear to remove buildup. Store in a pouch or soft-lined box to avoid scratches.

Sterling Silver

Love a little silver shine? Then baby it.

Silver can tarnish if left exposed to moisture or air for too long. To keep it bright, wear your silver jewelry often (yes, really—wearing it slows tarnish). But when it’s off-duty, store it in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch. Clean it using a silver polishing cloth or gentle jewelry cleaner made for silver only—no harsh chemicals needed.

Beaded & Wire-Wrapped Pieces

You’re wearing art—treat it like it.

Our signature handmade designs are made to last, but they’re still delicate. Avoid tugging, twisting, or sleeping in wire-wrapped pieces. Beads can absorb oils and moisture, so keep them away from water and clean them gently with a dry cloth. Don’t toss them in a crowded drawer—hang or lay flat in a dedicated space.

Your Sparkle Routine Checklist:

• Store jewelry separately to avoid scratches

• Avoid water, sweat, perfume, and lotion

• Wipe with a soft cloth after wearing

• Use proper cleaners for each metal type

• Take it off before bed, babes!

Jewelry is meant to shine with you—not fade with time. A little daily care goes a long way in keeping your favorite pieces looking brand-new. And if you ever need something custom, updated, or rebuilt, Jena Jewelry is just a message away. After all, beautiful things deserve beautiful care.
