Care Guide
At YOUV Jewelry, each piece has been selected to complement your style and accompany you through special moments. Proper care helps preserve its appearance, finish, and beauty over time.
We invite you to follow these recommendations to keep your jewelry in the best possible condition.
Essential Care
To help maintain the finish of your jewelry:
* Avoid direct contact with perfumes, cosmetics, lotions, chlorine, and chemical products.
* Put on your jewelry after completing your beauty routine.
* Remove pieces before showering, swimming, sleeping, or engaging in physical activity.
* Avoid impacts, excessive friction, and contact with abrasive surfaces.
* Clean your jewelry after wearing it, using only methods suitable for its material and finish.
.925 Sterling Silver
.925 sterling silver contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, mainly copper, which help improve its strength and durability. Even so, it may experience surface oxidation as a result of exposure to air, humidity, and certain substances.
* Use a soft, clean cloth to remove residue and fingerprints.
* Store pieces completely dry in an individual case.
* Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity and chemical agents.
* Do not use polishing products without verifying that they are compatible with the piece's finish.
Rhodium-plated .925 Sterling Silver
Rhodium plating provides a luminous surface and a shiny finish. Because it is a surface coating, its appearance may change gradually due to friction, wear, and exposure to external substances.
* Clean delicately with a soft, clean, non-abrasive cloth.
* Do not use silver polishing liquids, abrasive cleaners, or harsh chemicals.
* Avoid rubbing the surface intensely.
* Remove pieces before contact with water, chlorine, perfumes, and cosmetic products.
* Store each piece separately to minimize rubbing and scratching.
Finish preservation: wear of the plating depends on factors such as frequency of use, skin contact, and care conditions. The renewal of the coating, when necessary, should be evaluated by a professional.
10K and 14K Gold
Gold pieces require appropriate care to preserve their finish and appearance.
* Clean gently with warm water and mild soap when compatible with the design.
* Dry completely with a soft cloth.
* Avoid abrasive products, chlorine, and harsh chemicals.
* Handle pieces that incorporate stones, delicate details, or settings with care.
* Periodically check clasps and links.
Storage and Preservation
Proper storage helps reduce exposure to humidity, friction, and accidental damage.
* Store each piece in its individual case or pouch.
* Keep jewelry in a cool, dry environment.
* Separate chains, rings, earrings, and pendants to avoid tangles and scratches.
* Ensure pieces are clean and dry before storing them.
Important Information
The appearance and wear of a piece of jewelry may vary depending on its composition, finish, frequency of use, and storage conditions. No care method completely eliminates natural wear.
For pieces with stones, special coatings, or delicate designs, we recommend consulting a professional before applying home cleaning treatments.
We appreciate your trust and are honored to be part of your style.
