At Rocío Jewels, our handmade jewelry store in Valencia, each piece is handcrafted in our jewelry workshop, with special attention to detail and using noble materials such as sterling silver, gold-plated silver, and borosilicate glass. These are unique, soulful jewels, designed to last for many years with proper care.
Here are some tips to keep your jewelry looking like new:
1. Avoid contact with chemicals
Perfumes, creams, hairsprays, cleaning products... can dull the shine of your jewelry, especially if it's gold-plated silver. We recommend putting them on as a finishing touch, once you are already ready.
2. Take them off before sleeping, showering, or exercising
Although our pieces are designed to accompany you in your daily life, continuous contact with water or sweat can accelerate the wear of gold plating or tarnish silver. Borosilicate glass, although very resistant, can also be damaged by strong impacts.
3. Store them separately
To avoid scratches and tangles, it's best to store each piece of jewelry in its original pouch or box. Sterling silver can tarnish over time if exposed to air, so it's preferable to keep it in a closed, dry place.
4. Regular cleaning
-
Sterling silver: You can restore its shine with a specific polishing cloth or with a gentle homemade solution (warm water, a little mild soap, and a soft toothbrush).
-
Gold-plated silver: Clean it only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive products or excessive rubbing.
-
Glass: You can clean it with a damp cloth or, if dusty, with a slightly moistened cotton swab.
5. Mind daily use
Our jewelry is durable, but not made for everything. Avoid wearing them when doing intense manual work, in the pool, or in the sea. This will preserve both the materials and the design.
If any of your pieces need a deep cleaning or restoration, at our jewelry workshop in Valencia we can help you restore it. Write to us or stop by the store and we will be happy to advise you.
