How to Care for Your Jewelry

How to Care for Your Jewelry

Your jewelry is designed to be worn, loved, and collected through life’s adventures. With a little care, your pieces can remain beautiful for years to come.

Every Stone Is Unique

At Olavarrieta Jewelry, we work with natural gemstones sourced from around the world. Unlike synthetic materials, no two stones are ever exactly alike.

You may notice variations in color, patterns, inclusions, or natural markings. These are not flaws they are part of what makes each gemstone unique and a reflection of its natural origin.

Just as every journey is different, every stone tells its own story.

Storing Your Jewelry

To help preserve your piece, we recommend storing it hanging or inside its pouch when not in use.

Avoid folding or sharply bending pieces made with thread, as this can place stress on the material over time.

A little care in storage helps ensure your jewelry remains beautiful for years to come.

Avoid Moisture and Chemicals

To preserve both gemstones and gold-plated elements, avoid direct contact with:

* Perfumes
* Lotions
* Sunscreens
* Hair products
* Excess moisture

We also recommend removing your jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising.

Cleaning Your Jewelry

Natural gemstones require only gentle care.

To clean your piece, simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

Gold-plated elements should also be cleaned gently using a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishing products, or chemical solutions, as these can affect the finish over time.

Designed to Be Worn

Jewelry gathers meaning through the moments we live in it.

While proper care helps preserve its beauty, the most important thing is to enjoy your pieces often. Wear them on your travels, during celebrations, and throughout the everyday moments that become memories.

The pieces we treasure most are rarely the ones kept away—they’re the ones that accompany us through life’s journey.

A Note About Natural Gemstones

Small inclusions, color variations, and natural markings are part of the beauty of genuine gemstones. These characteristics make every piece one of a kind and ensure that no two creations are ever exactly the same
