Jewelry Care Guide
Keep your Sonia Fashions pieces looking beautiful for years to come. Follow these simple tips to protect and preserve your jewelry.
Water & Bathing
Stainless steel is water-resistant, but remove jewelry before swimming in chlorinated pools or the ocean. Saltwater and chlorine can dull the finish over time.
Perfumes & Lotions
Always apply perfume, lotion, and hairspray before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals in these products can affect plated finishes and gemstone clarity.
Exercise & Sweat
Remove your jewelry before working out. Sweat contains salts and acids that can accelerate tarnishing, especially on gold-coated pieces.
Regular Cleaning
Gently wipe your pieces with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear. This removes oils, sweat, and dust that can build up over time.
Sleeping
Try not to sleep in your jewelry. Chains can tangle and break, and rings or bracelets can bend out of shape when pressed against the bed.
Cooking & Cleaning
Remove rings and bracelets when cooking or doing household chores. Harsh cleaning chemicals can damage the surface finish of your pieces.
✅ Do's
- Clean with a soft damp cloth regularly
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Keep pieces separate to avoid scratching
- Put jewelry on last when getting dressed
- Have pieces professionally cleaned occasionally
- Handle crystal and stone pieces gently
✕ Don'ts
- Don't use harsh chemical cleaners or bleach
- Don't expose to extreme heat or sunlight
- Don't store all pieces in one tangled pile
- Don't wear in saltwater pools or the ocean
- Don't use abrasive scrubbing pads
- Don't apply perfume directly on jewelry
Stainless Steel
Our most popular material. Highly resistant to rust, tarnish, and discoloration. Safe for sensitive skin, hypoallergenic, and extremely durable for everyday wear.
18K Gold Coated Stainless Steel
Stainless steel base with a real gold plating. Looks luxurious and lasts well — but requires slightly more care. Avoid moisture and chemicals to preserve the gold layer.
Crystal & Stone Accents
Some pieces feature rhinestones, pearls, or crystal accents. These are glued or set into the metal — avoid soaking in water and store carefully to prevent loosening.
Clean before storing
Always wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth before putting it away. Storing dirty jewelry accelerates tarnishing.
Use separate pouches or compartments
Keep each piece in its own soft pouch or jewelry box compartment. This prevents scratching and tangling between pieces.
Avoid humidity
Store jewelry away from bathrooms and kitchens where steam and moisture are common. A bedroom drawer or vanity is ideal.
Keep away from direct sunlight
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade colored stones and affect the finish of gold-coated pieces.
