Jewelry Care & Cleaning Guide

Your jewelry is designed to shine for years. With a little daily care, your Crown Caratt pieces will retain their brilliance, beauty, and finish for a lifetime. Follow these simple care tips to keep your jewelry looking as stunning as the day you received it.

Daily Jewelry Care Tips

  • Avoid Direct Contact With Perfume

    Always apply perfume, deodorant, or hairspray before wearing your jewelry. Chemicals in fragrances can dull the shine over time, especially on rings, necklaces, and bracelets.

  • Remove Jewelry Before Showering & Hand Washing

    Water, soap, and shampoo can leave residue on your jewelry. Remove rings and bracelets before washing hands or showering to maintain long-lasting sparkle.

  • Avoid Lotions & Creams

    Lotions, oils, and creams may contain acidic ingredients that react with metals. Avoid applying moisturizers on areas where jewelry touches your skin.

  • Store Jewelry Properly

    Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in the pouch or box provided. Keep each piece separate to avoid scratches.

  • No Swimming With Jewelry

    Chlorine and salt water can damage metals and finishes. Always remove jewelry before swimming in pools or the ocean.

  • Remove Before Sleeping

    Take off your jewelry before bed to prevent bending, scratches, or accidental damage.

General Jewelry Protection

Protect your jewelry from:

  • Sharp impacts and scratches
  • Harsh chemicals
  • Cleaning products and abrasives

Our jewelry is crafted delicately and is not meant to be worn during sports, gym workouts, gardening, or cleaning activities.
When not in use, store your jewelry in airtight zip bags or anti-tarnish pouches for best protection.

How to Care for Oxidized Silver Jewelry

Oxidized silver gets its dark finish through a special treatment. This finish may lighten naturally over time with regular wear.

Important Care Tips:

  • Avoid perfumes, lotions, and water contact
  • Remove jewelry before washing hands, showering, or sleeping
  • Do not use harsh cleaners or polishing cloths

A protective food-grade wax coating is applied to slow down fading, but proper care is still essential.
