Cleaning Your CZ Jewellery

One of the most important aspects of caring for your CZ jewellery is regular cleaning. Over time, your pieces can accumulate dirt, oil, and other residues that can dull the shine and brilliance of the stones. To keep your jewellery looking its best, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Prepare a Cleaning Solution

Mix a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap (such as dish soap or a jewellery-specific cleaner) with warm water in a clean bowl or container. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaners, as these can damage the metal and stones.

Step 2: Gently Scrub

Using a soft-bristled toothbrush or a clean, soft cloth, gently scrub the jewellery to remove any built-up dirt or grime. Be sure to pay extra attention to the crevices and settings where dirt can easily accumulate.

Step 3: Rinse and Dry

Rinse the jewellery thoroughly under warm, running water to remove any soap residue. Gently pat the pieces dry with a soft, lint-free cloth, taking care not to rub the stones too vigorously.

Step 4: Store Properly

Once your CZ jewellery is clean and dry, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping your pieces in a jewellery box or pouch can help prevent scratches and tarnishing.

Avoiding Damage to Your CZ Jewellery

In addition to regular cleaning, there are a few other steps you can take to protect your cubic zirconia jewellery from damage:

Beware of Chemicals

Harsh chemicals, such as chlorine, bleach, and certain household cleaners, can damage the metal and stones in your CZ jewellery. Always remove your pieces before swimming, cleaning, or using strong chemicals.

Prevent Scratches

Cubic zirconia is a relatively soft material, so it's important to be mindful of how you store and handle your jewellery. Avoid letting your CZ pieces rub against each other or other hard surfaces, as this can cause scratches and dulling over time.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures

Sudden changes in temperature can cause the metal and stones in your CZ jewellery to expand and contract, potentially leading to cracks or loosening of the settings. Keep your pieces away from extreme heat or cold, such as boiling water or freezing temperatures.

Be Gentle

When putting on or taking off your CZ jewellery, be sure to handle it gently. Avoid tugging or pulling, as this can cause the stones to become loose or the metal to become misshapen over time.
