Umi Jewelry Care Instruction

Caring for Your Jewelry

Even though our jewelry is crafted from high-quality materials, some wear and tarnishing is inevitable over time. Precious metals and plating react with oxygen, causing gradual fading and darkening. 

Silver jewelry can occasionally cause skin discoloration due to natural body chemistry, including pH, sweat, and the presence of salts and sulfur, which may settle in the metal’s pores. Factors such as exposure to salty fluids, sulfur-rich foods, certain medications, and shifts in body chemistry can also contribute to this effect.

What to Avoid

Remove your jewelry before showering, washing your hands, sunbathing, or participating in activities like cleaning and sports. Keep it protected from impacts, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight. 

Avoid exposing it to lotions, hand sanitizers, soaps, perfumes, and other chemicals. Be mindful that your body’s natural pH, warmth, and sweat can affect the jewelry’s durability.

Also, avoid sleeping in your jewelry, especially earrings and necklaces, as this can damage or stretch piercings. If you wear rings to bed, choose low-profile designs to prevent them from getting caught or bent.

Storage Tips

To minimize wear and tarnishing, keep your jewelry in an airtight bag or a lined box. Ensure each piece is separated to prevent scratching. Proper storage will help preserve its beauty and elegance.

Cleaning Your Jewelry

Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth regularly. Avoid immersing it in water, especially chlorinated or saltwater, to prevent damage.
