Gold-Tone Crystal Tennis Bracelet Set – 3-Piece Layered Bracelet Set

1. General Care Tips

• Keep it dry: Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, or exercising. Water, chlorine, and sweat can dull plating and weaken settings over time.
• Last on, first off: Apply perfume, lotion, hairspray, and makeup before putting on your jewellery, and remove your jewellery before washing your hands or face.
• Avoid chemicals: Keep jewellery away from household cleaning agents, chlorine, and harsh detergents, which can cause discoloration or damage plating.
• Handle with care: Avoid direct contact with rough surfaces; store pieces separately to prevent scratches and tangling.
• Wipe after wear: Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove oils, sweat, and residue before storing.

2. Storage Tips

• Store each piece separately in a soft pouch, jewellery box with compartments, or the original Zebia packaging to prevent scratching and tangling.
• Keep jewellery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
• For chains and necklaces, keep them clasped or laid flat to avoid knots and tangles.
• Avoid storing jewellery in the bathroom or near a window, where moisture and sunlight can accelerate tarnishing.
• If a piece won't be worn for a while, consider storing it in an airtight pouch or zip-lock bag to minimize air exposure.

3. Cleaning Your Jewellery

• Routine cleaning: Gently wipe with a soft, lint-free or microfiber cloth after each wear.
• Deeper cleaning (for non-plated, solid metal pieces only — check product details first):
  
  Mix a few drops of mild soap with lukewarm water
  Soak the piece for a few minutes, gently clean with a soft-bristled brush (e.g., an old, clean toothbrush)
  Rinse carefully and pat dry immediately with a soft cloth
  
  
  
• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, or abrasive polishing cloths unless specifically recommended for your piece — these can damage plating, delicate stones, or enamel work.
• For plated jewellery specifically: avoid soaking or scrubbing, as this can wear down the plating faster. A gentle wipe with a dry, soft cloth is best.

(Always check the care instructions specific to your piece, as cleaning methods can vary by material — gold-plated, sterling silver, brass, or gemstone-studded jewellery may need different care.)

4. Category-Specific Care

Earrings & Nose Pins

• Clean gently around posts/backs where oils and product buildup can collect.
• Avoid sleeping in earrings to reduce pressure on settings and skin irritation.

Rings

• Remove before activities involving hand contact — washing dishes, gardening, workouts, or applying hand cream.
• Be mindful of impacts against hard surfaces, which can loosen stone settings over time.

Bangles & Bracelets

• Put on and remove carefully to avoid bending or scratching, especially for cuff-style or adjustable pieces.
• Avoid stacking multiple metal bangles that can scratch each other — store separately when possible.

Necklaces & Pendants

• Unclasp before removing to avoid stress on the clasp and chain.
• Store flat or hung to prevent tangling and kinking of delicate chains.

Anklets & Waist Chains

• Remove before swimming, bathing, or vigorous exercise, as these are more exposed to sweat and friction.
• Check clasps periodically for wear, given the higher movement these pieces experience.

Arm Cuffs

• Handle gently when adjusting the fit — avoid repeated wide bending, which can weaken the metal over time.

5. What to Avoid

• ❌ Wearing jewellery in the shower, pool, or sea
• ❌ Spraying perfume or hairspray directly onto jewellery
• ❌ Sleeping or exercising while wearing delicate pieces
• ❌ Using toothpaste, baking soda, or harsh chemical cleaners
• ❌ Storing multiple pieces tangled together in one pouch
• ❌ Exposing jewellery to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for long periods
• ❌ Attempting repairs, resizing, or polishing at unauthorized/local jewellers (this may void your warranty — see our Warranty Policy)

6. Understanding Natural Wear

• Plating fade: Gold/rhodium plating naturally wears thinner with regular use over time — this is expected and not a manufacturing defect. Following the care tips above will help extend its life.
• Gemstone variation: Natural or semi-precious stones may have minor inclusions or slight color variations — this is part of their natural character, not a flaw.
• Tarnishing: Sterling silver may naturally tarnish with air exposure; regular gentle cleaning helps maintain its shine.
