🪞 How to Care for Your Jewelry

Preserve the brilliance. Protect the story.

✨ Introduction

Every piece of Aurora jewelry is designed to last a lifetime — but even timeless beauty deserves care.
From silver to gold, moissanite to sapphire, each material carries its own natural brilliance.
This guide will show you how to clean, store, and protect your jewelry so it keeps its glow for years to come.

🤍 Caring for Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is strong yet naturally reactive to air, moisture, and certain chemicals — which can cause slight tarnish over time.
The good news: it’s easily reversible and preventable.

To maintain your silver’s shine:

  • Gently polish with a soft jewelry cloth after each wear.
  • Use mild soap and warm water for deeper cleaning; rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
  • Store pieces in a sealed, dry pouch to limit air exposure.
  • Avoid perfumes, chlorine, and hairspray contact.

💡 Aurora Tip: All Aurora 925 pieces feature rhodium coating, adding extra protection and luster to keep your jewelry glowing longer.

💛 Caring for 14K Gold

Gold is naturally resistant to tarnish, but it can dull from daily wear due to oils and residue.
Routine care helps preserve that signature Aurora glow.

To clean your gold:

  • Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water.
  • Soak jewelry for 10–15 minutes, gently brush with a soft toothbrush.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a microfiber cloth.
  • Store in a lined jewelry box or cloth bag to prevent micro-scratches.

💡 Aurora Tip: Avoid wearing gold jewelry during intense workouts or when applying lotions — sweat and products can temporarily reduce shine.

💎 Caring for Gemstones (Moissanite, Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald)

Your gemstones deserve attention too — even the hardest stones benefit from gentle upkeep.

General gemstone care:

  • Wipe stones with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing.
  • For deep cleaning, soak briefly in warm water with mild soap.
  • Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners for softer gems like emerald or ruby.
  • Keep jewelry away from direct sunlight when not worn — heat can affect color over long periods.

💡 Aurora Tip: Moissanite’s brilliance can outshine most stones — keeping it clean ensures it continues to sparkle at its highest intensity.

🪞 Proper Storage

Luxury starts with care — and that includes where your pieces rest.

  • Always store jewelry separately to prevent scratches.
  • Use Aurora’s suede pouches or jewelry boxes for long-term protection.
  • Keep jewelry in a cool, dry space — never the bathroom.
  • When traveling, use structured cases with individual compartments.

💡 Aurora Tip: Storing silver with anti-tarnish strips or silica packets keeps it bright longer.

🌸 Routine Maintenance

To keep your jewelry looking new:

  • Rotate your pieces — don’t wear the same one daily.
  • Inspect clasps and prongs occasionally for signs of wear.
  • For professional upkeep, have your jewelry cleaned and checked once a year.

Aurora offers polishing cloths and professional-grade cleaners designed specifically for fine metals and lab gemstones.

🌌 The Aurora Promise

Your jewelry should feel as timeless as the moment you first wore it.
With the right care, each Aurora piece will continue to shine — not just in light, but in memory.
Because luxury isn’t only about what you wear — it’s how you preserve it.
