Don't Toss Your Tarnished Jewelry! The Ultimate Restoration Guide

Why Does Jewelry Tarnish?

Tarnish is a natural process caused by the reaction of metals with oxygen, moisture, and chemicals found in perfumes or lotions. Even the highest quality pieces from Lianou Jewelry can lose their shine if not cared for properly.

Effective Home Cleaning Methods

1. The Mild Soap Solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak your jewelry for 5-10 minutes and gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.

2. Baking Soda and Aluminum Foil: Line a bowl with foil, add hot water and a tablespoon of baking soda. This chemical reaction effectively lifts tarnish from silver pieces.

Professional Maintenance

For gold-plated or delicate gemstone pieces, we recommend using a professional silver polishing cloth or visiting a specialist to avoid damaging the finish.

Daily Care Tips

Store your jewelry in a dry, airtight container and always put your jewelry on last after applying makeup and perfume.
