Your jewelry is more than just accessories – it's a part of your style and your everyday life. With proper care, they will stay beautiful for a long time. Here's everything you need to know about how to care for your jewelry from Nordè Design.
Why care matters
Our jewelry is made of stainless steel (304/316L) with PVD gold plating and is designed to withstand everyday wear – they do not tarnish, are water-resistant, and are hypoallergenic. But with a little extra care, they will remain sparkling for even longer.
Cleaning – step by step
Clean your jewelry regularly to maintain its shine:
- Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with lukewarm water.
- Add a drop of mild, fragrance-free soap if needed.
- Gently wipe the jewelry with circular motions.
- Rinse with clean water and immediately dry with a clean cloth.
Avoid: abrasive cleaners, ultrasonic cleaners, and strong chemicals like chlorine or acetone – these can damage the surface.
Storage – how to protect your jewelry
Proper storage prevents scratches and oxidation:
- Store each piece of jewelry separately, preferably in a soft pouch or jewelry box with compartments.
- Avoid storing jewelry in bathrooms where humidity and temperature fluctuations are common.
- Keep jewelry away from direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Place a small silica gel packet in the jewelry box to absorb moisture.
Good everyday habits
Small habits make a big difference:
- Remove your jewelry before exercising, swimming in a pool (chlorine), or using cleaning products.
- Put on your jewelry last – after perfume, hair products, and makeup, so that chemicals do not get on the surface.
- Wash your hands with jewelry off when using strong soaps or hand sanitizer.
- Regularly check that clasps and loops are secure.
Are they waterproof?
Yes! Our stainless steel jewelry can withstand everyday water exposure such as rain, handwashing, and showering. However, we recommend removing them during prolonged swimming in pools or the ocean to extend the life of the plating.
Summary
With simple routines – regular cleaning, smart storage, and good habits – your Nordè Design jewelry will maintain its luster for many years to come. Invest a little time in care, and your jewelry will reward you with timeless elegance every day.
