Jewelry Care

Keep every piece looking elevated

A little everyday care goes a long way. Follow these simple habits to help your TEREAU jewelry stay bright, comfortable, and ready to wear.

Last on, first off

Put jewelry on after makeup, perfume, and lotion — and take it off first at night.

Gentle cleaning

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove oils and keep the finish fresh.

Smart storage

Store pieces separately in a dry place to avoid scratches and tangles.

Everyday wear tips

Avoid wearing jewelry in the shower, pool, ocean, or hot tub
Remove pieces before workouts, cleaning, or applying harsh products
Keep jewelry away from perfume, hairspray, sunscreen, and chlorine
Put rings and bracelets on after hand cream has fully absorbed

How to clean your jewelry

Gold & gold-tone

Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth
For buildup, use mild soap and lukewarm water
Pat dry completely before storing

Silver & silver-tone

Polish lightly with a jewelry cloth made for silver
Store in an anti-tarnish pouch when possible
Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface

Cubic zirconia & stones

Clean with a soft brush and mild soapy water
Rinse and dry thoroughly
Do not use ultrasonic cleaners unless advised

Avoid bleach, acetone, toothpaste, baking soda scrubs, and other harsh chemicals — they can damage finishes and settings.

Storage

Store each piece separately to prevent scratching and knotting
Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Close clasps before putting necklaces or bracelets away
Travel with a padded pouch or jewelry case

Plated & fashion finishes

Many everyday styles use fine plating for a refined look. Over time, friction, moisture, and skin chemistry can naturally soften the shine. Gentle wear and proper storage help extend the finish. If a piece starts to look dull, a soft cloth is usually the best first step.

What to avoid

Sleeping in delicate chains or fine earrings when possible
Stacking abrasive materials that can rub finishes thin
Leaving jewelry in humid bathrooms
Using commercial dips or polishing machines at home
