Keep Your Jewellery Stunning: 3 Care Tips You’ll Actually Use
Jewellery should be treasured, not tucked away because it lost its shine. Whether you're a first-time Solace customer or a long-time fan, our pieces are made to last—but only if you give them a little love in return.
Here are the top 3 tips to keep your jewellery as pristine as the day it arrived at your doorstep.
1. Clean Gently but Thoroughly
Start by soaking your jewellery in a warm saltwater solution for a couple of minutes. This helps loosen up grime, sweat, and oils that naturally build up from daily wear.
Next, use a cotton bud to gently remove any leftover debris. For intricate or prong-set styles, a baby toothbrush works wonders—it's soft enough to avoid damage but small enough to get into all the right places.
Extra Tip: Skip the harsh cleaners—chemicals can degrade plating or delicate settings over time.
2. Dry with Care
After cleaning, pat your jewellery dry using a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth. This is key. Regular towels or tissues can scratch metal surfaces or leave lint in tight spaces.
If you want to level up, opt for jewellery-specific polishing cloths—they not only dry but also help restore shine with each use.
Top Tip: Avoid drying with heat or leaving your jewellery out in the sun. Heat can warp materials and weaken glues used in some settings.
3. Store it Safely
This is the part most people skip—but it’s arguably the most important.
Your jewellery should be stored in a lined, protective case. It helps prevent scratches, dullness from air exposure, and tangled chains. Even better? A compact travel-friendly jewellery case keeps everything neat on-the-go—no more untangling chains at your destination.

Bonus Tips From Our Team
We asked the Solace team for a few of their personal care tips—and let’s just say, these come from years of jewellery obsession:
Put jewellery on last: Apply lotions, perfume, and hair products before wearing your pieces to avoid chemical exposure.
Rotate what you wear: Let your jewellery rest! Alternating pieces reduces wear and tear and keeps everything lasting longer.
Keep silica packets: Drop a silica gel pack into your jewellery box. It absorbs moisture and prevents tarnishing (you’ve probably got one in an old shoebox somewhere!).
