Jewelry Care Guide

With proper care, your Ciao Bijoux pieces can remain beautiful for longer. Jewelry is delicate by nature and should be handled with attention and care.

Everyday Care

·       Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.

·       Avoid direct contact with perfume, lotions, oils, sunscreen, cleaning products, and chemicals.

·       Put jewelry on after applying cosmetics, fragrance, and hair products.

·       Store pieces separately to help prevent scratching and tangling.

Water and Moisture

Avoid exposing jewelry to water, humidity, chlorine, salt water, and sweat. Moisture can affect the finish, plating, stones, and overall appearance of jewelry over time.

Cleaning

·       Gently wipe jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.

·       Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cloths, toothpaste, bleach, or household cleaners.

·       For sterling silver, use a cloth designed for silver jewelry when appropriate.

·       For plated or fashion jewelry, clean gently to avoid wearing down the finish.

Storage

·       Store jewelry in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

·       Use a soft pouch, jewelry box, or individual compartment.

·       Keep chains clasped and laid flat to reduce tangling.

Tarnishing and Wear

Tarnishing, discoloration, fading, and finish changes may occur naturally over time depending on wear, skin chemistry, storage, and exposure to moisture or chemicals. These changes are considered normal wear and are not manufacturing defects.

Travel Tips

·       Pack jewelry in individual pouches.

·       Avoid storing jewelry loose in handbags or luggage.

·       Keep jewelry away from liquids and cosmetic products while traveling.
