Jewelry Care Guide

 

 

Preserve the Beauty of Your Zakar Beriyth Jewelry

Zakar Beriyth jewelry is created to be worn with meaning and cared for with intention. Although stainless steel is strong, durable, and resistant to tarnishing, proper care will help preserve the color, finish, and shine of your jewelry for as long as possible.

 

Daily Care

After wearing your jewelry, gently wipe it with a clean, soft, lint-free or microfiber cloth. This helps remove natural skin oils, perspiration, makeup, and other residue that may collect during wear.

Avoid excessive rubbing, scrubbing, or polishing, especially on gold-plated pieces, because repeated friction may gradually wear down the gold finish.

 

Avoid Contact With Chemicals

To help protect your jewelry, avoid direct contact with:

  • Perfume and cologne

  • Lotion and body oils

  • Hairspray and cosmetics

  • Household cleaning products

  • Bleach and ammonia

  • Hand sanitizer

  • Chlorine

  • Other harsh chemicals

Allow perfume, lotion, cosmetics, and hair products to dry completely before putting on your jewelry. As a helpful rule, put your jewelry on last when getting dressed and remove it first when undressing.

 

Water and Moisture

Remove your jewelry before:

  • Showering or bathing

  • Swimming in a pool

  • Entering a hot tub

  • Swimming in salt water

  • Exercising or participating in strenuous activity

  • Washing dishes

  • Cleaning

  • Sleeping

Stainless steel may tolerate occasional contact with water, but repeated exposure to chlorine, salt water, soap, moisture, and chemicals can dull the surface or shorten the life of a gold-plated finish.

If your jewelry becomes wet, gently pat it dry immediately with a soft cloth. Do not leave it wet or allow it to air-dry for an extended period.

 

How to Clean Your Jewelry

For routine care, gently wipe the jewelry with a soft, dry cloth.

When a deeper cleaning is needed:

  1. Mix a small amount of mild liquid soap with lukewarm water.

  2. Dampen a soft cloth with the solution.

  3. Gently wipe the jewelry without scrubbing.

  4. Wipe away any remaining soap with a separate cloth lightly dampened with clean water.

  5. Dry the jewelry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft cloth are generally sufficient for cleaning stainless steel and gold-plated stainless steel jewelry.

Do not soak gold-plated pieces unless the product’s specific care instructions state that soaking is safe.

 

Cleaning Methods to Avoid

Do not use:

  • Abrasive jewelry cleaners

  • Bleach or ammonia

  • Vinegar or lemon juice

  • Baking soda

  • Toothpaste

  • Rough brushes or scouring pads

  • Paper towels

  • Ultrasonic cleaners

  • Steam cleaners

  • Silver-polishing solutions

These cleaning methods may scratch the surface, damage decorative elements, or gradually remove the gold finish. Paper towels can also contain fibers that may scratch polished jewelry surfaces.

 

Proper Storage

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch, jewelry box, or divided compartment.

Keep your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from:

  • Direct sunlight

  • Humidity

  • Bathrooms

  • Heat

  • Other jewelry that may scratch or tangle with it

Separate storage helps prevent scratches, tangling, and friction between pieces.

Before storing your jewelry, make sure it is completely clean and dry.

 

Jewelry With Stones, Beads, or Special Details

Pieces containing stones, beads, charms, adhesives, enamel, or decorative elements may require additional care.

Do not soak these pieces. Gently wipe them with a soft cloth and avoid pulling, bending, or placing pressure on delicate components.

 

Normal Wear

Gold-colored finishes may gradually change or fade over time due to natural wear, skin chemistry, friction, moisture, chemicals, and individual care habits. This is a normal characteristic of plated jewelry and is not necessarily a manufacturing defect.

Following this guide will help extend the beauty and life of your jewelry, but no plated finish can be guaranteed to remain unchanged permanently.

 

The Zakar Beriyth Care Reminder

Keep it dry. Keep it clean. Store it separately. Wear it with care.

Every piece is created with purpose—to help you remember. Caring for your jewelry allows you to preserve both its beauty and the meaning it carries.
