Care Guide

The simple rule: last on, first off. Put jewelry on after perfume, lotion, hairspray and cosmetics have dried. Thoughtful daily care can make a meaningful difference to shine, finish, settings and long-term wear.

Everyday Care

Handle clasps, chains and settings gently; avoid pulling or tugging.
Remove jewelry before heavy exercise, housework or activities where the piece may snag or receive impact.
Keep pieces away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, sunscreen and harsh household chemicals.
Wipe jewelry gently after wear to remove moisture, oils and residue.
Store pieces clean, dry and separately so they do not rub, scratch or tangle.

Water Exposure

Some TEWIKY product pages specifically identify a style as waterproof or suitable for everyday water exposure. Follow the product-specific information shown on that item's product page.

When a product page does not provide specific water guidance, the safer practice is to remove jewelry before showering, bathing, swimming or using a spa. Chlorinated water, salt water, soaps and mineral residue can affect some metals, finishes, stones and settings.

How to Clean Jewelry at Home

Start with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe the surface after wear.
For light residue on a suitable piece, use a slightly damp soft cloth rather than soaking the jewelry.
Dry the piece completely before storing it.
Avoid toothpaste, abrasive powders, rough polishing cloths, bleach, household cleaners and strong chemical dips unless the product's specific care instructions say they are appropriate.

Gold-Plated & Finished Jewelry

Plated jewelry has a surface layer that can gradually change with friction, moisture, chemicals and body chemistry. To help preserve the finish, minimize unnecessary chemical exposure, do not scrub aggressively and store pieces separately.

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver can tarnish as it reacts with air, moisture and environmental compounds. Store it in a dry space and reduce unnecessary air exposure when possible. Use a cloth intended for silver when appropriate and follow product-specific instructions.

Pearls

Pearls require gentle treatment. Apply perfume and cosmetics before putting them on, avoid soaking them and wipe them softly after wear. Store pearls away from harder jewelry that could scratch their surface. Natural pearls can show small differences in shape and texture.

Natural Stones & Decorative Stones

Stones differ in hardness, porosity and sensitivity to chemicals. Avoid impact, sudden temperature changes and harsh cleaning methods. Do not assume every stone can be soaked or placed in an ultrasonic cleaner.

Chains, Clasps & Delicate Settings

Fine chains are designed to look light and refined, which also means they should not be pulled sharply. Open clasps rather than stretching a necklace over the head. Check settings and connectors periodically for unusual movement.

How to Store Jewelry

Use individual pouches, soft-lined compartments or separate sections of a jewelry box.
Fasten delicate chains before storing to reduce tangles.
Keep jewelry away from damp bathrooms and direct exposure to sprays or cleaning products.
For travel, use a structured case or pouch that prevents pieces from rubbing against one another.
Do not place heavy pieces on top of thin chains or delicate earrings.

When to Stop Wearing a Piece

If a clasp becomes unreliable, a setting feels loose, a chain link opens or a stone appears unstable, stop wearing the item until it has been reviewed. Continuing to wear a compromised piece can turn a small issue into a larger one.
