CARE FOR WHAT LASTS
Fine jewelry is made to be worn, enjoyed, and kept. With thoughtful care, your Monteoro pieces can preserve their beauty for years to come.
EVERYDAY CARE
Remove your jewelry before activities that may expose it to unnecessary impact, abrasion, or harsh substances. Cosmetics, lotions, perfumes, cleaning products, and other chemicals can leave residue or affect the appearance of your jewelry over time.
Whenever possible, put your jewelry on after applying personal care products and allow those products to dry first.
CLEANING GOLD JEWELRY
For routine cleaning, solid gold jewelry can generally be cleaned using lukewarm water, a small amount of mild soap, and a soft cloth or soft-bristled brush.
Rinse carefully and dry completely with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch polished surfaces.
Jewelry containing gemstones, special finishes, or delicate components may require different care. When in doubt, professional cleaning is recommended.
STORING YOUR JEWELRY
Store pieces individually or with enough separation to prevent chains, pendants, earrings, and other jewelry from rubbing against or tangling with one another.
A soft-lined jewelry box or pouch can help protect your pieces from scratches and unnecessary exposure when they are not being worn.
CHAINS & BRACELETS
Lay chains and bracelets flat or store them in a way that minimizes tangling and stress on links and clasps. Avoid pulling, twisting, or forcing a clasp that does not move freely.
JEWELRY WITH GEMSTONES
Gemstones vary in hardness, structure, and sensitivity. A cleaning method that is appropriate for one stone may not be suitable for another.
Avoid exposing gemstone jewelry to harsh chemicals or extreme conditions, and seek professional guidance when specialized cleaning is needed.
WHEN TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL CARE
Periodically inspect clasps, settings, links, and other components, particularly on pieces worn frequently. If something appears loose, damaged, or unusually worn, discontinue wearing the piece until it can be professionally inspected.
MADE TO BE WORN. CARED FOR TO LAST.
Thoughtful care is part of preserving the jewelry that becomes part of your story.
