Caring for Your HFG Meaningful Gemstone Jewelry

At HFG, we design our meaningful gemstone jewelry to be cherished for years to come. With the right care, your pieces will maintain their beauty and continue to inspire you. Here are some simple steps to ensure your jewelry stays in excellent condition:

General Care Tips

  • Avoid Water Exposure: We recommend removing your jewelry before swimming, showering, or doing any activity that involves water. Chlorine, saltwater, and even everyday water can cause discoloration and wear on your pieces.

  • Safe Storage: To keep your jewelry protected when not in use, store each piece in the cotton bag it comes with or in our custom stash bag. This helps prevent scratches, tarnishing, and dust buildup.

Caring for Your Gemstone Jewelry

Our meaningful gemstone jewelry is made with natural stones, and like all natural elements, they need protection from certain conditions.

Protect from Direct Sunlight: Natural gemstones can fade or lose their vibrancy if exposed to direct sunlight over time. When you're not wearing your jewelry, store it in a cool, dark place, such as the cotton bag or stash bag we provide. Keeping your pieces out of direct sunlight will help preserve the rich colors of the stones.

Caring for Your Brass Jewelry

Brass jewelry can develop a beautiful patina over time, but if you prefer the original shine, regular cleaning is essential.

Steps to Clean Brass:

  1. Mix a small amount of warm water with mild soap.
  2. Dip a soft cloth into the solution and gently wipe the jewelry.
  3. Rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
  4. For a deeper clean, use a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda. Apply it with a soft cloth, gently rub the jewelry, and rinse thoroughly. Always dry completely to avoid moisture damage.
  5. Store your brass pieces in a dry environment to minimize tarnishing.

Polishing Your Silver Jewelry

Silver jewelry may tarnish over time, but a quick polish will restore its shine.

Steps to Polish Silver:

  1. Use a silver polishing cloth or a clean, soft cloth designed for jewelry to gently buff the silver. Avoid abrasive materials, which can cause scratches.
  2. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap and warm water solution. Dip a soft cloth into the soapy water and gently rub the silver.
  3. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
  4. To prevent tarnishing, store your silver jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in the cotton or stash bags provided.

By following these simple care tips, your HFG meaningful gemstone jewelry will retain its beauty and significance for years to come. Take the time to care for your pieces, and they will continue to radiate good vibes and meaning.
