The Golden Rules of Jewelry Care


  • Put Jewelry On Last: Always put your jewelry on after you have applied makeup, hairspray, perfume, and lotions. The chemicals in these products can cause damage to the metal and stones.

  • Take It Off First: Your jewelry should be the first thing you take off when getting ready for bed or to shower.

  • Handle with Care: Our pieces are delicate. Avoid pulling on chains and be gentle when putting on and taking off your jewelry.

What to Avoid


  • Water: Avoid wearing your jewelry in the shower, pool, ocean, or while doing dishes. Water can cause tarnishing and dull the shine.

  • Chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals, including household cleaners, chlorine, and bleach.

  • Sweat: Remove your jewelry before exercising or any other strenuous physical activity to prevent it from being exposed to sweat, which can accelerate tarnishing.

  • Sleeping: It’s best to remove your jewelry before you sleep to avoid tangling, bending, or damage to delicate chains.

Proper Cleaning and Storage


  • Cleaning: Gently polish your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove any oils or residue. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.

  • Storage: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. A jewelry box or pouch is a great way to prevent scratching and tangling. We recommend storing each piece separately.

Following these simple steps will help ensure your jewelry from The Ky Collection remains as beautiful as the day you received it!
