Caring for your jewellery is essential if you want it to stay sparkling and beautiful for years to come. At Joma Jewellery, every piece is lovingly designed to be cherished, worn often, and treasured. But like all plated jewellery, gentle care is key to keeping it looking its best.
Whether you’re searching for how to clean your Joma Jewellery, how to make plated jewellery last longer, or why jewellery tarnishes, this complete guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
Why Does Jewellery Tarnish?
All plated jewellery naturally tarnishes over time. Exposure to air, moisture, sweat, and chemicals can cause the plating to dull or darken. The good news? With the right care routine, you can significantly slow this process and keep your pieces shining.
How to Clean Your Jewellery Safely
1. Use a Dry, Soft Cloth
The simplest—and safest—way to clean your jewellery is with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.
- Gently buff to maintain shine
- Avoid using water or harsh cleaners
- Skip silver dips or chemical cleaners, as they can damage the plating
Regular gentle wiping prevents buildup and keeps your jewellery glowing without over-cleaning.
Quick Fix: Jewellery Polishing Cloth
If your piece needs a little extra TLC, a quality jewellery polishing cloth can make a noticeable difference.
How to use it properly:
- Wipe gently—don’t scrub
- Use light strokes to restore shine
- Polish only when needed, as overuse can slowly remove the plating
This is a great in-between solution for deeper cleans while still being kind to your jewellery.
Daily Preventative Care Tips
Store Jewellery Individually
Keeping your jewellery separate prevents knots, tangles, and those tiny micro-scratches that reduce shine.
- Store pieces in individual pouches
- Keep them in a cool, dry place
- Add anti-tarnish strips for extra protection
Avoid Chemicals at All Costs
Chemicals are one of the biggest culprits behind tarnish.
Keep jewellery away from:
- Perfume & body mists
- Lotion & body creams
- Hairspray
- Detergents & cleaning products
- Chlorine, bleach & ammonia
Top tip: Put your jewellery on last when getting ready, and take it off first at the end of the day.
Remove Jewellery Before…
To extend the life of your plating, always remove your jewellery before:
- Showering or bathing
- Swimming (chlorine + saltwater = fast tarnish)
- Exercising or sweating
- Sleeping
- Applying skincare or makeup
These small habits make a big difference in how long your shine lasts.
