Glavhory Informs: How to Care for Your Jewelry

At Glavhory, each piece of jewelry is more than just an adornment. These are silent statements of style, strength, and emotion. They are creations designed to mark moments, accompany transformations, and carry stories. And like all meaningful symbols, they deserve to be cared for with love and intention.

We’ve prepared this guide with real and effective tips to help preserve the brilliance, integrity, and beauty of your jewelry — so it will always be ready to reflect who you are, now and always.

1. Storage: the first gesture of care

Storing your jewelry properly is the first step to protecting it from time and wear.

Glavhory Tips:

Keep each piece in individual packaging, such as velvet pouches or compartments lined with soft fabric.
Avoid storing jewelry in humid areas like bathrooms — moisture accelerates oxidation, especially with 925 silver.
Never mix pieces together: friction can cause scratches and wear down delicate finishes.

2. Avoid contact with products that dull the shine of your jewelry

Perfume, creams, lotions, hairspray, hand sanitizers, and even pool or seawater are all enemies of durability. These can stain metals, damage natural stones, and wear off fine platings such as rose gold.

Always remember:

Put your jewelry on after applying makeup and skincare.
Remove it before washing your hands or using alcohol-based products.
Avoid wearing jewelry while swimming, showering, or doing household chores.

3. Wear it consciously. Remove it with care.

Glavhory jewelry is crafted to last, but every precious piece needs care during use.

Essential recommendations:

Take off your jewelry before going to sleep.
Avoid wearing it during intense physical activities.
Remove rings or bracelets when carrying heavy objects or doing manual tasks.

These small gestures help prevent deformities, breakages, and invisible wear that can compromise the piece over time.

4. How to safely clean your Glavhory jewelry

Cleaning doesn’t have to be aggressive. Common homemade methods, like toothpaste or baking soda, can damage metals and delicate stones. Always choose gentle, proven-safe alternatives.

For 925 silver (without stones):

Use warm water and mild soap.
Clean gently with an ultra-soft brush or cotton cloth.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth.

For pieces with natural stones:

Avoid soaking them in water. Use a slightly damp cloth only.
Dry immediately with a soft, clean cloth.

Glavhory tip: specific jewelry cloths (like “magic flannels”) help remove mild oxidation, especially on silver.

5. Darkened silver? It’s natural. And reversible.

925 silver naturally reacts to the environment — air, sweat, skin, and cosmetics — and darkens over time. This isn’t a flaw; it’s a mark of authenticity.

To maintain its shine:

Store pieces in closed, dry packaging.
Use appropriate polishing cloths when needed.
For deeper tarnishing, seek a trusted jeweler or contact us directly.

6. Pay attention to signs of wear

Jewelry is like a bond — delicate and precious. If you notice:

A loose stone,
A weak or unstable clasp,
A bent or damaged element,

... pause use and seek expert care. Our team is always ready to assist with guidance, repairs, or replacements.

7. Taking care of your jewelry is taking care of its story

At Glavhory, every creation is meant to accompany you through meaningful phases — with beauty, intention, and soul. Daily care is a gesture that keeps this connection alive.

Small, conscious actions ensure that your jewelry continues to reflect your essence.
Taking care of a Glavhory is, in essence, taking care of yourself.
