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.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Over time, depending on how often you wear it, your jewelry may need to be repolished, matte-finished, or rhodium-plated. White gold jewelry always has a rhodium coating, which, once worn away, reveals the natural color of the white gold. Depending on the alloy and karat weight, it may turn more or less yellow, and if this bothers you, a new coating can be applied. Please contact us if you think your Efir jewelry needs maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n

Depending on the alloy and karat purity, it may appear more or less yellowish, and if this bothers you, a new rhodium plating can be applied.<\/p>\n

Natural gemstones vary in hardness and durability, which is why they require different care. Some gemstones are highly sensitive to sudden temperature changes, while others should not be exposed to heat sources or direct sunlight. When cleaning your jewelry, you should check whether the stone or metal is affected by acids, alcohol, ammonia, chlorine, or other substances.<\/p>\n

You can clean your jewelry daily with a microfiber cloth. If it needs a deeper clean, you can do so using a very soft toothbrush and mild liquid soap (pH-neutral) over a soft cloth placed on a flat surface (do not do this over the sink). Gently scrub all areas, especially under the jewelry settings. This method is not suitable for all types of gemstones (such as opals, pearls, and some emeralds); read more in the detailed article on our blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Professional ultrasonic cleaning is the best method, but ONLY for certain types of jewelry, as this method can damage some gemstones. If you are unsure which method is best for your jewelry, please contact us.<\/p>\n

Proper storage, care, and cleaning of your jewelry are essential to keeping it in pristine condition for many years to come.
