Care

JEWELRY CARE & MAINTENANCE

At DPJ, we believe that taking care of your jewelry should be as simple and rewarding as wearing it. Below is a guide to caring for each of the materials we use, ensuring that your pieces remain beautiful and last a lifetime.

STERLING SILVER JEWELRY

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to air, but here’s the good news: the more you wear it, the less it tarnishes! The natural oils in your skin help keep silver clean and shiny. If your silver does tarnish, it’s an easy fix.

  • Cleaning Tip: Simply use a polishing cloth to restore its shine.
  •  Storage: To prevent tarnishing, store your silver jewelry in an airtight bag or box when not in use.

GOLD JEWELRY

Gold is prized for its beauty and lasting value. Caring for gold jewelry is straightforward, but it’s important to protect it from scratches and maintain its luster.

  • Cleaning Tip: Use a gentle polishing cloth to restore its shine.
  •  Storage: Store gold pieces separately from other jewelry to avoid scratching.

BRASS JEWELRY

Brass is a stunning and durable metal that can develop a deep patina over time when exposed to the elements, adding character to your jewelry. If you prefer to keep your brass shiny, caring for it is easy!

  • Water Exposure: You can shower or swim with your brass jewelry, but pat it dry afterward to prevent watermarks.  
  • Storage: Store your brass jewelry in a dark, dry place when not in use to minimize tarnishing.  
  • Polishing: Use a polishing cloth or commercial products like Brasso or wroghts copper cream ,to maintain its golden shine.  
  • DIY Brass Cleaner:s:
    • For a natural solution, dip your brass jewelry in ketchup (yes, ketchup!) for less than a minute, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
    • You can also make a paste with 2 parts flour, 1 part white vinegar, and a pinch of salt—soak the piece for 30-60 seconds, rinse, and dry.

Note: Due to skin chemistry, some people may notice green discoloration from wearing brass, particularly on fingers where there’s more movement or during activities that cause sweating or extended hand use. This reaction is completely harmless and varies from person to person based on skin’s pH. Some may experience it frequently, while others never notice it. A clear coat can be applied to the interior of rings for prevention, but over time, you'll become familiar with how your skin reacts. In most cases, the discoloration is minimal and often goes unnoticed or isn’t bothersome.

GOLD FILLED JEWELRY

Gold-filled jewelry offers the look of solid gold without the high cost, and it requires minimal care.

  • Water Exposure: While gold-filled jewelry can withstand some moisture, it’s best to remove it before swimming or showering for long periods.  

  • Storage: Store in an airtight bag to maintain its shine.
     
    Polishing: Use a polishing cloth for light touch-ups as needed.
