AETHERJewelry Care
Your favorite jewelry deserves a little everyday care. At AETHER, we believe beautiful jewelry is meant to be worn and enjoyed. With thoughtful handling and proper storage, you can help preserve the shine, finish, and delicate details of your favorite pieces for years to come.
1. Everyday Jewelry Care
To help maintain the beauty of your AETHER jewelry, we recommend a few simple habits: Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, exercising, or participating in strenuous activities. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, cleaning agents, and harsh chemicals. Allow skincare products and fragrances to dry before putting on your jewelry. Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after each wear. Store individual pieces separately to minimize scratches and tangling. Handle delicate chains, clasps, and stone settings with care. A little attention goes a long way toward preserving your jewelry's appearance.
2. Caring for 18K Gold Vermeil
Gold vermeil jewelry combines a sterling silver base with a layer of gold plating, offering the warm appearance of gold with a refined finish. To help maintain your gold vermeil jewelry: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, humidity, sweat, and chemicals. Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising. Gently clean with a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid polishing compounds, abrasive cleaners, and harsh jewelry solutions. Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box. Gold vermeil is a plated finish, and its appearance may change gradually with wear. Proper care can help extend its beauty.
3. Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is valued for its timeless beauty and versatility. Over time, sterling silver can naturally tarnish when exposed to air, moisture, and certain chemicals. To care for your sterling silver jewelry: Store pieces in a clean, dry environment. Wipe gently after wearing to remove oils and moisture. Use a cleaning cloth specifically intended for sterling silver when appropriate. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals and abrasive materials. Keep sterling silver jewelry away from chlorine, saltwater, and household cleaning products. For pieces containing gemstones, pearls, or plated details, avoid silver-polishing products unless they are specifically suitable for those materials.
4. Caring for Gemstones & Delicate Details
Gemstones and decorative settings add character and elegance to your jewelry. To preserve their appearance: Avoid dropping or striking jewelry against hard surfaces. Protect stones from harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking jewelry unless the cleaning method is confirmed safe for the specific stone. Check clasps and stone settings periodically for signs of looseness or damage. For pearls, mother-of-pearl, and other delicate materials, avoid abrasive cleaners, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged water exposure. If you notice a loose stone or damaged setting, discontinue wearing the piece and contact our support team.
5. How to Store Your Jewelry
Proper storage helps protect your favorite pieces between wears. We recommend: Keeping each piece in a separate soft pouch or lined compartment. Storing jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Fastening necklaces and bracelets before storage to help prevent tangling. Avoiding crowded jewelry boxes where pieces may rub against one another. Keeping jewelry away from excessive humidity. For added convenience, use your AETHER jewelry pouch when storing or traveling with your pieces.
6. Cleaning Your Jewelry
For routine cleaning, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges, toothpaste, baking soda, or harsh household cleaning products, as these may damage plated surfaces or delicate materials. Cleaning methods vary depending on the metal, finish, and gemstones used in each design. If you are unsure how to clean a specific piece, please contact our customer support team before using a jewelry-cleaning solution.
7. Traveling With Jewelry
When traveling, protect your jewelry with a few simple precautions: Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or travel jewelry case. Secure clasps before packing. Avoid placing delicate pieces loosely inside handbags or luggage. Keep jewelry away from liquids, cosmetics, and sharp objects. Taking a moment to store your jewelry properly can help preserve its beauty wherever life takes you.
