Jewelry Care
At Gonji, we believe that taking care of your jewelry is essential to ensure it stays beautiful and lasts for years to come. Here’s how you can prevent oxidation and clean your pieces if they do become oxidized:
Preventing Oxidation
- Store Properly: Keep your Gonji jewelry in a dry, cool place, preferably in a jewelry box or a pouch. Avoid exposing your pieces to direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Avoid Chemicals: Protect your Gonji jewelry from exposure to chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and cleaning agents. These can accelerate the oxidation process.
- Wear with Care: Remove your Gonji jewelry when swimming, showering, or engaging in activities that cause excessive sweating. Moisture and saltwater can cause oxidation.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your Gonji jewelry regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and residues that can lead to tarnishing.
Cleaning Oxidized Jewelry
- Baking Soda Paste: For a simple home remedy, mix a small amount of baking soda with water to form a paste. Gently rub this paste onto the oxidized areas of your Gonji jewelry using a soft cloth or a toothbrush. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Jewelry Cleaning Solutions: For stubborn oxidation, use a jewelry cleaning solution specifically designed for the type of metal in your Gonji piece. Follow the instructions on the cleaner, and always rinse and dry your jewelry well after cleaning.
- Professional Cleaning: For delicate or valuable pieces, consider having them professionally cleaned. This ensures that your Gonji jewelry is cared for without risk of damage.
Important Note: When cleaning your Gonji jewelry, especially pieces with resin color parts, always use distilled water. This helps prevent white marks that can form from minerals in tap water.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your Gonji jewelry looking its best and prevent the effects of oxidation. For more tips and personalized advice, feel free to CONTACT US !
