Tips

Many of your daily activities can negatively affect the appearance of
your jewelry. To keep your favourite jewellery looking flawless, please keep the following tips in mind:

Remove your jewellery whenever you shower or wash your hands, this prevents the build-up of particles, especially in the more inaccessible areas that reduce the shine.
The same is recommended when swimming (in chlorinated pools, sea water) or exercising, for example working out.
If you wear several pieces of jewellery at the same time, you run the risk of scratching or damaging softer gemstones, so we advise arranging them in such way so they don't touch.
Avoid contact with cleansers, body lotions, hairspray, perfumes.
Avoid exposing your jewellery to very high temperatures or large temperature amplitudes.

At Efir, we always recommend that you make a habit of removing all your precious jewelry when you're at home doing chores, getting ready for bed, or going to the bathroom. By doing so, you extend their life, protect them from dirt, scratches and wear. With this small habit, your jewelry will last longer in perfect condition and will need less maintenance.

If you still want to wear your jewellery every day without taking it off, at Efir we will advise and select the most suitable gemstones for you and tailor the design to protect it and make it durable enough.

How to clean and maintain your jewellery

Maintenance

Over the years, depending on the intensity of wear, your jewellery may need re-polishing, mat or rhodium plating. White gold jewellery always has a rhodium plating applied, which when worn reveals the natural colour of the white gold. This, depending on the impurities and karat grade, it may become more or less yellowish and, if it irritates you, a new one can be set. Contact us if you feel your Efir jewellery needs maintenance.

We advise you to store your jewellery separately from each other in a box (to avoid covering with dust), so that they do not get scratched and tangled. The best method for packing while traveling is in individual pouches or small plastic zip lock bags. Pack the earrings separately from each other. Stow them in a place in your luggage where no pressure will be exerted or in a hard box. While it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing solution, you can wrap each piece of jewelry in a tissue or paper for extra protection.

You can clean your jewelry daily with a microfiber cloth. If they need a deeper cleaning, you can do it with a very soft toothbrush and mild liquid soap (neutral Ph), over a soft cloth placed on a flat surface (do not do it over the sink). Scrub all areas gently, especially under the jewelry bezel. This method is not suitable for all types of stones (such as opals, pearls, some emeralds), read more in our detailed blog post.

Professional ultrasonic cleaning is the best method, but ONLY for certain jewels. If you are in doubt about which method is best for your jewelry, please contact us.

Look after your jewellery properly and enjoy it for years. We are always here to advise you on designs that fit your everyday life.
