Keep your Ikonique Co pieces looking beautiful for years to come

Care by Category
Water & Moisture
- Remove all jewelry before swimming, bathing, or showering.
- Avoid contact with saltwater and chlorinated pools — both accelerate tarnishing.
- If jewelry gets wet, pat dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.
- Never wear jewelry in hot tubs or saunas as heat and steam can weaken settings.
Heat & Sunlight
- Keep jewelry away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration.
- Remove pieces before sunbathing or using tanning beds.
- Avoid leaving jewelry in hot cars or near heat vents.
- Extreme temperature changes can cause metals to expand and contract, loosening stones.
Chemicals & Products
- Put jewelry on last — after applying perfume, lotion, hairspray, and makeup.
- Household cleaning products, bleach, and detergents can severely damage metals and stones.
- Hand sanitizers and alcohol-based products can strip plating and dull finishes.
- Remove jewelry before applying sunscreen or bug spray.
Storage
- Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or compartmentalized jewelry box to prevent scratching.
- Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from humidity.
- Anti-tarnish strips placed in your storage box help slow oxidation.
- Hang necklaces individually to prevent tangling and kinking.
Cleaning
- Gently wipe pieces with a soft, dry microfiber or jeweler's cloth after each wear.
- For a deeper clean, use a small amount of mild dish soap diluted in lukewarm water.
- Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently clean hard-to-reach areas.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing — never store damp jewelry.
Everyday Wear
- Remove jewelry before exercise, sports, or any physical activity.
- Take off rings and bracelets before cooking or handling food.
- Avoid sleeping in jewelry — it can bend delicate pieces and cause skin irritation.
- Remove jewelry before doing dishes or any household chores.
Care by Material
Gold plated pieces have a base metal coated in a thin layer of gold. With proper care they can last years — avoid moisture, chemicals, and abrasion to preserve the plating.
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to air and moisture. Regular gentle polishing with a silver cloth keeps it bright. Store in an airtight bag when not in use.
One of the most durable jewelry metals — highly resistant to tarnish, rust, and scratches. Clean with mild soap and water. Safe for sensitive skin.
Natural stones and beads can be porous and sensitive to chemicals and moisture. Wipe with a dry cloth only. Avoid submerging in water or exposing to harsh products.
