Jewelry Care Guide

At Dango, we craft timeless pieces designed to elevate your everyday look. To ensure your jewelry stays beautiful and lasts for years, here’s a comprehensive care guide tailored to the materials we use:

General Jewelry Care

  1. Store Safely: Keep your jewelry in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Use a soft pouch or a jewelry box with compartments to prevent scratches.
  2. Avoid Chemicals: Remove jewelry before using perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, or cleaning products, as they can tarnish metals or dull stones.
  3. Handle with Care: Put on your jewelry after dressing to avoid snagging, and remove it during vigorous activities to prevent damage.

Steel Jewelry

  • Care: Stainless steel is durable and tarnish-resistant but can still accumulate dirt or scratches. Clean regularly with a soft cloth.
  • Cleaning: Use warm water, a mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
  • Storage: Keep away from other metals to avoid scratching.

Silver Jewelry

  • Care: Sterling silver can tarnish over time when exposed to air or moisture. Store in anti-tarnish bags or use silica packets to reduce humidity.
  • Cleaning: Gently polish with a silver cleaning cloth or use a mild cleaning solution specifically for silver. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Pearls

  • Care: Pearls are delicate and can lose their luster with exposure to chemicals or abrasives. Always wear them as a final touch after applying makeup or perfume.
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove oils and dirt. Avoid soaking in water or using harsh cleaners.
  • Storage: Lay flat in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratching.

Natural Gemstones

  • Care: Gemstones vary in hardness and sensitivity. Protect them from sharp impacts and excessive heat.
  • Cleaning: Use warm, soapy water and a soft brush for most stones. For porous stones like turquoise, wipe gently with a damp cloth and avoid prolonged water exposure.
  • Storage: Store pieces individually to prevent scratches or chips.

Plated Jewelry

  • Care: Plated pieces are more delicate and can wear over time. Avoid exposure to water, sweat, or abrasive surfaces.
  • Cleaning: Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use cleaning solutions that may strip the plating.
  • Storage: Keep in a soft pouch or jewelry box when not in use.
