Essential Earring Care Tips to Keep Them Sparkling
Earrings are more than just accessories—they’re style statements, treasured gifts, and timeless pieces that complete your look. Whether you’re wearing gold, oxidised, American diamond, or brass earrings, taking proper care of them ensures they stay beautiful and last longer.
Here are some essential tips on how to care for your earrings and keep them sparkling like new!
1. Store Them Properly
Always store your earrings in a dry, clean, and separate compartment of your jewellery box. Use soft pouches or anti-tarnish bags to prevent scratches and tangling.
Pro Tip: Keep oxidised and brass earrings away from moisture to avoid tarnishing.
2. Avoid Contact with Water & Chemicals
Water, perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays can damage the finish of your earrings. Always remove them before showering, swimming, or applying skincare products.
Best Practice: Put on your earrings after makeup and hair styling.
3. Clean Them Gently
Clean your earrings regularly to remove dirt, oil, and sweat. Use a soft microfiber cloth or a cotton swab dipped in mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.
For American Diamond & Kundan: Use a soft brush to gently clean between stones.
4. Use Anti-Tarnish Hacks
For oxidised or brass jewellery, store them with anti-tarnish strips or a small piece of chalk to absorb moisture. You can also place silica gel packets in your jewellery box.
5. Handle with Care
Avoid dropping your earrings or pulling them off forcefully. Delicate pieces, especially with intricate work or stones, can easily get damaged or lose parts.
6. Don’t Sleep in Your Earrings
Wearing earrings overnight can cause bending, loosening of stones, or even skin irritation. Always remove them before sleeping to maintain their shape and your comfort.
7. Rotate Your Collection
Wearing the same pair of earrings every day can cause faster wear and tear. Give your favourites a break and rotate between different pairs to extend their life.
8. Keep Earring Backs Tight
Loose earring backs can result in lost earrings. Check the clasps regularly and replace them if they’re worn out or loose.
