You wear your favorite necklace almost every day. That cute bangle often goes with you to work, and you like to change your earrings with every outfit. But have you ever actually cleaned them?
Over time, skin oils, perfume, and skincare products can make jewelry lose some of its shine. Fortunately, you don't need to reach for all sorts of cleaning products right away.
With a soft cloth and a few simple tips, your favorite jewelry is often fresh again in no time.
How can you clean stainless steel jewelry?
At Just Good Jewellery, we work with premium stainless steel. A strong material that requires little maintenance and is ideal for jewelry you like to wear often.
Do you want to clean your all-metal stainless steel jewelry? It's very easy.
Step 1. Get a soft cloth
Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This will often remove skin oils and small dirt particles.
Step 2. Use lukewarm water if necessary
Is your jewelry a bit dirtier? Then dampen the cloth with lukewarm water and, if necessary, a very small amount of mild soap.
Step 3. Carefully clean your jewelry
Run the cloth over your necklace, bracelet, or earrings. Don't forget the clasp, as dirt can also collect there.
Step 4. Dry everything thoroughly
Remove any soap residue with a clean, slightly damp cloth, then carefully dry the jewelry.
And you're done! Usually, that's all you need for a regular cleaning.
How do you clean gold-colored jewelry?
Of course, you want to keep that beautiful gold-colored necklace or bangle looking beautiful for as long as possible.
Our gold-colored premium stainless steel jewelry has a high-quality plating. It's best to clean it carefully.
Start with a soft, dry cloth. This can often easily remove dirt and skin oils.
Is that not enough? Then use a slightly damp cloth, with a small amount of mild soap if necessary, and
then dry the jewelry thoroughly.
There's no need to scrub hard. A gentle approach will keep the finish looking its best.
What about jewelry with pearls, natural stone, or beads?
Do you have a beautiful pearl necklace, a natural stone bracelet, or one of our colorful beaded pieces? Those deserve a little attention now and then too.
However, it's wise to be a bit more careful with them.
It's best to gently wipe pearls with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning products and do not leave them in water unnecessarily.
Natural stone varies by type. Some stones can handle a little moisture just fine, while others are more sensitive. A soft, slightly damp cloth is therefore a good starting point.
You can carefully wipe acrylic and resin beads with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products and do not soak them in water for long periods.
Our tip? Always take a look at the entire piece of jewelry. A beaded bracelet, for example, also has a thread, elastic, or metal parts that you want to take into account.
Can you clean jewelry with toothpaste or vinegar?
You may have heard that you can clean jewelry with toothpaste, baking soda, or vinegar.
But we would leave those household products alone.
Toothpaste and abrasive products can cause scratches. Vinegar and other acidic cleaning products are not suitable for every material or finish.
And if you can refresh your jewelry so easily with a soft cloth, why make it more complicated?
This is how your jewelry stays beautiful longer
A few more small tips that are really useful:
• Preferably put on your jewelry after you have used perfume or body lotion.
• Store necklaces and bracelets separately so they don't unnecessarily rub against each other.
• Preferably take off your jewelry when cleaning or swimming.
• Wipe your favorite jewelry with a soft cloth now and then.
It really doesn't need to become an extensive cleaning routine. A little attention is often enough.

Ready for your next jewelry combination?
There, your favorite jewelry is fresh again! Perhaps it's a good time to try a different combination?
That delicate gold-colored necklace, for example, looks great next to a pearl necklace. And you can easily combine a shiny bangle with a colorful beaded bracelet.
After all, beautiful jewelry is meant to be worn. And with a little care, you can enjoy it for even longer.
