Question of the Week: How to Clean your Charms

Some of my charms have gotten dirty since I have been wearing my bracelet so much. How do I make them sparkle like when I first got them?

As with everything else you hold dear, your jewelry needs regular tender loving care too.  As a general rule of thumb, treat your charms with as much care as you would any other piece of fine jewelry in your collection.

For cleaning, simply use lukewarm soapy water with a soft toothbrush to very gently scrub the jewelry. Then rinse it off in clean water. To remove caked on dirt, let your jewelry soak in lukewarm soapy water for up to ten minutes. Gently scrub then rinse in clean water.

Remember to never expose your jewelry that has been oxidized to harsh chemicals that can alter the appearance of your product. These chemicals include, but are not limited to; liquid silver polish, hot tubs, pools, and spas.

We also suggest using one of our great polishing cloths, specially formulated for European charm bracelets.  To keep your charms glistening like the very first day you got them, give them a good rub down with your polishing cloth once a week.  After all, what woman doesn’t want to sparkle?
