How Do I Take Care of my VINELLI Jewelry Creations?
Fine jewelry can become a treasured family heirloom if it is care properly.The daily wear, air pollution, soap and constant dust all contribute to cloud the brilliance of gemstones. The surface of gold, platinum and silver jewelry can become dulled. Timeworn prongs and clasps can result in the loss of a stone or an entire piece of jewelry. If possible, remove your jewelry creation before starting any activity such as athletics, gardening, or cooking this is likely to damage them.
Avoid contact with cosmetics and household chemicals as certain compounds can cause discoloration. Avoid extreme temperature changes.
The best place to store jewelry is in an individual pouch, in the original VINELLI box or in a separate compartment of a jewelry box. Chains should be fastened, wrapped and laid flat to prevent them from knotting.
Professional cleanings are recommended as often as once a year. We encourage you to bring your VINELLI jewelry back to us for professional servicing. Our staff knows what to do and is experienced in all aspects of jewelry care: cleaning silver, gemstones, restringing pearls and other stones, repairing clasps and earring backs.
If cleaning occurs at home, soak your jewelry regularly for a few minutes in lukewarm soapy water (use neutral pH soap). Gently clean using a very soft toothbrush. Rinse well in clean lukewarm water. Wipe dry using a soft cloth or chamois. Especially for your silver jewelry creation, dry baking soda can be rubbed softly with your hand into the jewelry piece and then by using clean water all residues will be cleaned and voila, shining as the first day it was bought.
If pearls are used often we suggest to be restrung once a year. Pearls should not be sprayed with perfume. They should be cleaned with a damp cloth and store separately in its own pouch. Your pearls are affected by light, heat and contact with soap or other detergents as well.
Always protect stones from potential impacts. Even diamonds, the hardest of stones, can break or chip if subject to recurring knocks and shocks.
