5 Jewellery Care Tips That Actually Work

We’ve all been there - a favourite ring that lost its shine, or earrings that started to tarnish too soon. The truth is, how you care for your jewellery makes all the difference in how long it lasts.

At iksaé, our pieces are designed to be waterproof, anti-tarnish, and hypoallergenic - but even then, a little extra care goes a long way. Here are 5 jewellery care tips that actually work (and are easy to follow).

1. Store It the Right Way

Jewellery doesn’t like chaos. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or a separate box to avoid scratches. If you pile everything together, chains tangle and surfaces get damaged.

Pro tip: Store in a cool, dry place - away from direct sunlight and humidity.

2. Keep Away from Harsh Chemicals

Perfumes, lotions, hair sprays, and even cleaning agents can dull the shine of your jewellery. Always wear your jewellery last when getting ready - after your skincare, makeup, and fragrance.

3. Clean Gently and Regularly

A simple wipe with a soft microfiber cloth can remove oils and sweat buildup. Avoid harsh cleaners - they do more harm than good. For waterproof pieces like ours, you can gently rinse with water and pat dry.

4. Don’t Over-Polish

Many people think polishing frequently keeps jewellery shiny - but overdoing it can wear down the finish. Stick to light cleaning and only polish occasionally when truly needed.

5. Wear It Mindfully

Our designs are made for everyday wear - but being mindful still helps. Take off jewellery before heavy workouts, rough work, or when handling strong chemicals (like bleach while cleaning). This way, your favourite pieces stay with you for years.

Bonus Tip — Invest in Quality

The biggest care hack? Start with jewellery that’s built to last. At iksaé, we use high-quality plating and protective layers that make our designs resistant to tarnish, water, and everyday wear.

With just a little care, your jewellery will always mirror your shine.
