Care Guide

At Luminatiko, we believe that your jewelry should remain as beautiful as the day it first arrived. With a bit of extra care, you’ll enjoy your pieces for years to come. Here are some simple, practical tips to keep them looking their best.

• Put it On Last, Take it Off First: Make your jewelry the final touch when getting ready, after lotions, perfumes, and cosmetics. When you’re back home, let it be the first thing you remove to keep it safe.
• Mindful Wear: Everyday activities, like cooking or cleaning, can expose your jewelry to substances and conditions that may cause damage. It’s a good idea to take it off before anything that might put it at risk.
• Handle with Care: Each piece is crafted with care, and with a little mindfulness, you can keep them in great shape over time.

• Store Dry and Separate: When you’re not wearing your jewelry, keep it in a cool, dry place. Lined jewelry boxes or soft pouches are ideal for avoiding scratches or damage. Make sure each piece is dry before putting it away, as moisture can lead to tarnishing.
• Give Each Piece Space: To prevent scratching, store pieces separately. Metals like sterling silver can tarnish, especially in humid environments, so consider using anti-tarnish strips if you live in a humid area.

• Regular Gentle Cleaning: Buffing your jewelry gently with a soft cloth can keep it shiny and beautiful. For vermeil or plated pieces, go easy—too much pressure can wear down the finish over time.
• Skip Harsh Cleaners: Avoid using abrasive cleaning solutions or rough cloths. A light touch with a soft cloth is best. For more stubborn residue, a damp cloth with a few drops of lukewarm water will do, but avoid soaking your jewelry, especially if it has delicate stones.

• Sterling Silver: A gentle buff with a silver polishing cloth can help if tarnishing appears. To maintain its shine, keep it as dry as possible.
• Gold Vermeil and Plated Jewelry: Vermeil and plated pieces are delicate, so it’s best to avoid exposing them to water, sweat, or other elements that may dull their finish.

• Do’s:
  • Use a jewelry box or soft pouch to keep pieces protected.
  • Wipe down regularly with a soft cloth to prevent residue buildup.
  • Consider anti-tarnish strips for metals like silver, especially if you’re in a humid climate.
• Don’ts:
  • Avoid lotions, perfumes, and chemicals directly on your jewelry.
  • Take jewelry off before swimming, showering, or strenuous activities.
  • Steer clear of rough cloths or abrasive cleaning materials.

These simple habits will go a long way in keeping your Luminatiko jewelry sparkling and ready to wear for years to come. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out—our team is here to help!
