Jewelry Care Guide
Your jewelry is not just beautiful—it carries your stories, rituals, and daily moments. With careful care, each piece can stay radiant, durable, and meaningful for years. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you care for your jewelry in every situation.
General Care Tips
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep jewelry away from perfume, lotion, hairspray, cleaning products, and chlorine.
- Remove During Activities: Take off your pieces before exercising, swimming, showering, or doing housework.
- Be Gentle: Avoid pulling, twisting, or dropping jewelry, especially delicate chains or natural material beads.
- Avoid Extreme Heat & Sunlight: Some materials can fade, crack or degrade under long exposure to strong sunlight or high temperature.
Cleaning Your Jewelry
- Daily Wipe: Use a soft, dry cloth (like microfiber) to wipe away oils and dust.
- Mild Soap Wash: For metal parts, mix a drop of mild soap with lukewarm water, use a soft brush, rinse gently, and pat dry.
- Avoid Soaking: Don't soak porous materials, glued settings, or elastic cords for a long time.
- No Abrasives: Skip toothpaste, hard brushes, or alcohol-based cleaners—they can damage surfaces.
Wearing & Fit Tips
- Bracelet Fit: Leave a little slack (0.5–1 cm) so it’s comfortable but not overstretched.
- Ring Handling: Avoid spinning or twisting the ring frequently to reduce wear on the band.
- Necklace Layering: When layering, pick different lengths and lighter chains to avoid tangling.
- Take Off Before Sleeping or Working: This helps prevent stretching, pulling, or accidental damage.
Material-Specific Care
Bodhi / Natural Beads
- Avoid Water & Chemicals: Bodhi absorbs moisture—don’t soak or expose to sweat or perfume.
- Gentle Handling: Your oils from your skin help polish the beads; roll them gently in your palm regularly.
- Avoid Harsh Sun: Prevent drying cracks by storing away from direct strong sunlight.
Metal (Gold, Silver, Copper, Stainless)
- Prevent Tarnish: Wipe with a polishing cloth regularly for silver and softer metals.
- Avoid Humidity: Keep in dry storage to minimize oxidation.
Gemstones / Crystals
- Use Soft Cloth: Gently wipe when needed.
- Avoid Soaking: Especially if stones are glued or have porous texture.
- Energetic Care (Optional): Cleanse using moonlight, crystal clusters, or sound vibrations.
Storage & Travel Tips
- Store Separately: Use soft pouches or compartments to avoid scratching.
- Keep Dry: Use desiccant packets to reduce moisture in your jewelry box.
- Travel Smart: Pack each piece individually. Avoid placing gemstone jewelry in checked luggage—it may be crushed or scratched.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Don’t store in very hot cars or damp bathrooms.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Don’t use alcohol or disinfectants on your jewelry.
- Avoid cleaning with toothpaste—it's abrasive.
- Never soak elastic bracelets for too long.
- Don’t wear metal jewelry to bed—it can get caught or bent.
- Avoid exposing porous materials (wood, Bodhi) to prolonged sun or water.
Maintenance Routine
- Weekly: Wipe pieces with a soft cloth.
- Monthly: Inspect settings, clasps, and elastic.
- Every 3–6 Months: Consider professional polishing or restringing.
- After Each Wear: Wipe off sweat, perfume, or oils.

Crystal Jewelry Care Guide
Crystal Jewelry Care Guide
Your crystal jewelry isn’t just an accessory—it’s a little piece of nature’s magic you carry with you. With the right care, it will keep shining beautifully and radiating its unique energy for years to come. Here’s how to protect both its beauty and its spirit:
General Care Tips
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your crystals away from perfume, lotion, hairspray, cleaning products, and chlorine. These can dull the surface or damage the setting.
- Keep Away from Extreme Heat & Sunlight: Some crystals, like amethyst, rose quartz, and citrine, can fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store in a cool, shaded place.
- Remove Before Physical Activities: Take off your crystal jewelry before swimming, showering, exercising, or doing housework to avoid accidental scratches or cracks.
- Store Separately: Place each piece in a soft pouch or jewelry box compartment. Crystals can scratch softer stones, and harder materials can scratch your crystals.
Cleaning Your Crystals
- Dry Clean for Delicate Stones: For softer crystals (like turquoise, lapis lazuli, or selenite), simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
- Gentle Soap & Water for Hard Crystals: For quartz family crystals (like clear quartz, amethyst, citrine), mix a few drops of mild soap with lukewarm water, gently wipe with a soft cloth, then pat dry. Avoid soaking, especially if the piece has glued settings.
- No Abrasives: Skip toothpaste, rough cloths, or hard brushes—these can scratch the crystal surface.
Energetic Care (Optional)
- Moonlight Bath: Leave under full moonlight overnight.
- Crystal Clusters: Place on a larger quartz cluster to cleanse and recharge.
- Sound Cleansing: Use gentle sound vibrations like singing bowls or bells.

Bodhi Bracelet Care Guide
Bodhi Bracelet Care Guide
Bodhi bracelets are organic materials—light, warm, and full of natural texture. With proper care, they will gradually develop a smooth, glowing patina that becomes uniquely yours. Here’s how to protect and nurture your Bodhi bracelet so it ages beautifully:
General Care Tips
- Avoid Impact: Bodhi beads can crack if dropped or knocked against hard surfaces.
- Keep Away from Water: Avoid showering, swimming, or soaking the bracelet—excess moisture may cause swelling, mold, or cracking.
- Avoid Chemicals: Perfume, lotion, sanitizer, detergent, and sweat may discolor or damage the bead surface.
- Mind Temperature & Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight may dry out Bodhi and cause cracks.
Cleaning Your Bodhi Beads
- Daily Wipe: Use a soft dry cloth to gently wipe the beads and remove dust or sweat.
- Avoid Soaking: Do not immerse in water or use alcohol/chemical cleaners—Bodhi is porous and may absorb liquids.
- Occasional Dust Cleaning: If needed, lightly wipe with a slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately.
Maintenance & “Nourishing” the Beads
- Regular Gentle Handling: Natural oils from your hands help Bodhi develop a warm, polished patina over time.
- Short Daily Polishing: Roll the beads gently in your palm for 5–10 minutes daily to smooth the surface gradually.
- Avoid Over-Polishing: Excessive friction may cause uneven shine or heat cracks. Slow and steady is best.
- Let It Rest: After several days of wearing, allow the bracelet to rest in a breathable place to avoid moisture buildup.
Storage Tips
- Store in a Dry Place: Humidity can cause mold or shrinkage—avoid bathrooms or enclosed damp spaces.
- Use Soft Pouches: Store the bracelet separately to prevent friction against metal or gemstone jewelry.
- Add a Desiccant: A small drying packet helps maintain a stable environment for the organic material.
