Jewelry Care Tips: Make Your Pieces Last Longer

From your iced-out Cuban links to moissanite earrings, your jewelry isn’t just an accessory — it’s a reflection of your style, personality, and hustle. But if you want that shine to stay timeless, you need to treat your pieces right.

Here’s your ultimate guide to keeping your Urban Ice jewelry fresh, brilliant, and long-lasting — whether you’re flexing daily or saving your drip for special nights out.


1. Store Your Jewelry Like You Mean It

Avoid tangling, scratching, and tarnishing

Tossing your chains and earrings into a drawer? That’s a fast track to scratches and tangled messes. Instead:

  • Use soft jewelry pouches or velvet-lined boxes

  • Store gold-plated and silver pieces separately

  • Keep your pieces in a cool, dry place (never the bathroom)


2. Keep Water, Sweat, and Chemicals Away

Jewelry and moisture don’t mix

Water, sweat, cologne, and lotions can wear down plating and cloud your stones — especially on gold-plated steel, moissanite, and zircon pieces.

Pro Tips:

  • Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or working out

  • Apply your perfume or body spray before putting on your chains

  • Don’t clean with your jewelry on — even household products can damage shine


3. Wipe It Down After Every Wear

Oils from your skin = dull jewelry over time

After a long day, take 10 seconds to wipe down your pieces with a soft microfiber cloth. This removes dirt, oil, and moisture before it can do damage.


4. Clean Smart — Not Harsh

Never use toothpaste or harsh chemicals

Stick to gentle cleaning methods:

  • Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water

  • Soak your jewelry for 5–10 minutes

  • Gently brush with a soft toothbrush

  • Rinse and dry thoroughly

Avoid ultrasonic cleaners on gold-plated or stone-set pieces — they may loosen settings or wear down the plating.

5. Know When to Take It Off

Even the cleanest bling needs rest

Don’t wear your chains or earrings:

  • In the gym

  • While sleeping

  • During high-intensity outdoor activities

  • When spraying fragrance or hair products

Treat your jewelry like your car — it’s made to turn heads, not survive a snowstorm.


6. Get Regular Checks on Your Stones and Clasps

Especially for pieces with moissanite, zircon, or gem settings, check the prongs and clasps every few months to ensure nothing is loose.
