JEWELRY CARE
Caring for Gold Jewelry
Proper care is essential to ensure the longevity and beauty of your gold jewelry, whether it's crafted from 14 or 18 karat gold. Additionally, taking care of the precious and semi-precious stones set in your jewelry will keep them looking their best. Follow these guidelines to maintain your jewelry's sparkle and shine.
1. Regular Cleaning
Clean your gold jewelry regularly to remove dirt and oils. Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the gold's finish.
2. Storing Your Jewelry
Store your gold pieces in a dry place, preferably in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratches. Keep them separated to avoid tangling and damage.
3. Avoiding Harsh Environments
Remove your jewelry before engaging in activities that may expose it to harsh chemicals, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, or cleaning products.
4. Periodic Professional Cleaning
Consider having your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year to maintain its brilliance and check for any loose stones or damage.
Caring for Precious and Semi-Precious Stones
1. Gentle Cleaning
Clean stones with a soft damp cloth or a specialized jewelry cleaning solution. Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners for softer stones, as they can be damaged.
2. Avoiding Sunlight and Heat
Keep your stones away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as these can affect their color and integrity over time.
3. Handling with Care
Be mindful when wearing jewelry with stones. Avoid wearing them during physical activities or when doing household chores to prevent chips or scratches.
4. Storing Stones Separately
Store pieces with precious and semi-precious stones in a way that prevents them from scratching each other. Use soft pouches or separate compartments in your jewelry box.
Caring for Your Grillz
Grillz, also known as "grills" or "fronts," are decorative dental ornaments that can be made from gold, silver, or other metals, often adorned with diamonds or other stones. Proper care is essential to maintain their shine and hygiene.
1. Regular Cleaning
Rinse your grillz with warm water after every use to remove food particles and bacteria. You can use a soft toothbrush with a non-abrasive toothpaste to gently scrub them. Avoid using hard-bristled brushes that could scratch the surface.
2. Soaking for Deep Cleaning
For a more thorough clean, soak your grillz in a mixture of warm water and mild soap for about 15-20 minutes. After soaking, scrub gently with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly.
3. Storing Your Grillz
When not in use, store your grillz in a protective case or pouch to prevent scratches and tarnishing. Avoid exposing them to moisture or extreme temperatures.
4. Take Them off During Activities
Remove your grillz before eating, drinking, or participating in physical activities to prevent damage and maintain oral hygiene. Placing them into your Aziza Handcrafted Jewelry pouch.
5. Regular Check-ups
If your grillz are custom-fitted, have them checked by a professional periodically to ensure they still fit well and do not cause any dental issues.
With proper care, your grillz can remain a stunning and unique accessory. Regular cleaning and responsible usage will help preserve their appearance and hygiene. If you have any questions about caring for your grillz, don’t hesitate to reach out.
