Ensuring the lasting beauty and elegance of your Mint & Lily jewelry involves simple yet effective care and maintenance practices. By following these guidelines, you can keep your pieces looking as radiant as the day you received them.

  • Protective Storage: To prevent scratches and tangling, store your jewelry in a cool, dry place. Individual compartments in a jewelry box or soft pouches are ideal for keeping each piece separate and safe.
  • Tarnish Prevention: For pieces prone to tarnish, consider anti-tarnish strips or bags, which help to absorb air pollutants that can cause discoloration over time.

  • Gentle Cleaning Methods

  • Regular Cleaning: Keep your jewelry sparkling by gently wiping it with a soft cloth after each wear. This removes oils and other substances that can dull its appearance.
  • Mild Soap Solution: For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution. Soak the jewelry briefly and then use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean intricate designs. Always rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth.
  • Special Care for Plated Jewelry: For gold, rose gold, or silver plated pieces, ensure minimal exposure to water and chemicals to maintain the integrity of the plating.

  • Periodic Polishing and Maintenance

  • Polishing Cloths: Use specialized jewelry polishing cloths to maintain the shine and luster of your pieces. These cloths are designed to be gentle on your jewelry while effectively buffing its surface.
  • Professional Check-up: Periodically, it's wise to have your jewelry professionally checked and cleaned. This can help in maintaining the structural integrity of your pieces, especially important for items with clasps, prongs, or stones.

  • Avoiding Harmful Exposures

  • Chemical Avoidance: Protect your jewelry by avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals found in cleaning agents, cosmetics, and swimming pools.
  • Physical Protection: Remove jewelry during activities that may expose it to risk, such as heavy physical work, exercise, or swimming.
