Caring for your gold jewelry: simple steps for lasting shine

Every evening when I get home from work, I have my little routine: I take off my earrings and gently clean them with a soft cloth. It reminds me of when I was little and I watched my mom do the same thing with her jewelry - she always took special care of it. If you want to keep your Azor jewelry looking its best, here are my simple tips.

The Gentle Big Clean No need to bring out the heavy artillery! I just mix a few drops of mild soap in a bowl of warm water. I let my ring or bracelet soak for a few minutes, then I gently scrub with an old soft toothbrush. A quick rinse with clean water, a wipe with a microfiber cloth, and voila! However, never let them dry on their own—it leaves nasty streaks.

Everyday Enemies Gold doesn't like to mix with our beauty products. So I dress in order: first perfume and cream, and only then jewelry. And before sports or cleaning, all that goes! Even if 18K gold is solid, it can still scratch against hard objects.

Tidy up without tearing your hair out Tangled chains are hell! Each piece of jewelry has its own little place: either in a case or in a compartment with fabric. For necklaces, I hang them up - no more knots that are impossible to undo. And for rings and earrings, small pouches or dividers prevent them from rubbing against each other.

When to call in the pros After a few years, it's normal for a ring to become a little deformed or for a clasp to loosen. A quick visit to the artisan to check that everything is holding properly and to give it a new polish will give it a new lease of life! At Azor, the artisans offer just this maintenance service - they can even adjust the size if necessary.

Taking care of your jewelry is, at its core, taking care of the memories it carries. With these simple gestures, your Azor pieces will continue to accompany you and brighten your days for years to come.
