TRPOPO Ladies' Jewelry Maintenance and Repair Specification Manual
Dear trpopo jewelry enthusiasts, thank you for choosing our charming Baroque-style ladies' jewelry made of 925 sterling silver and 18K gold-plated materials! To keep these exquisite pieces shining brightly and accompanying you for a long time, we have carefully compiled this maintenance and repair specification manual. By following these key points, your jewelry will retain its luster for years to come.
I. Daily Maintenance Guidelines
(I) Wearing Precautions
- Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Remove your jewelry before using chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, skincare products, and detergents. The chemical components in these substances may react with 925 sterling silver or 18K gold plating, causing the jewelry's surface to lose its luster, and even leading to discoloration or corrosion. For example, the alcohol in perfume can accelerate the oxidation of silver jewelry, turning it black.
- Prevent Collision and Scratches: Our Baroque jewelry features unique and intricate designs. Take off your jewelry when engaging in sports, doing household chores, or any other activities that may cause collisions. Also, avoid storing jewelry with other hard objects. It is recommended to store them separately in soft jewelry boxes or velvet bags to prevent scratching the surface and affecting the appearance.
- Keep in a Dry Environment: Jewelry is prone to rust or oxidation when exposed to moisture. Be sure to remove it when taking a bath, swimming, or sweating. If the jewelry gets wet accidentally, dry it immediately with a clean, soft cloth to ensure it stays dry.
(II) Cleaning Methods
- 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry
- Polishing Cleaning: For daily maintenance, use a professional silver polishing cloth. The special coating on the cloth can effectively remove surface oxides and stains, quickly restoring the luster of the silver jewelry.
- Soaking Cleaning: When the silver jewelry is severely oxidized, prepare a cup of warm water and add special silver cleaner in a ratio of 1:10. Stir well and soak the silver jewelry in it for 1 - 2 minutes. After soaking, rinse it thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth. Note that granular cleaning products like toothpaste should never be used, as they may scratch the surface of the silver jewelry.
- Homemade Cleaning: You can also try mixing baking soda and water into a paste. Dip a soft-bristled brush into the paste and gently scrub the silver jewelry, then rinse it with clean water. This method works well for slightly oxidized silver jewelry.
- 18K Gold-Plated Jewelry
- Basic Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
- Deep Cleaning: If the gold-plated jewelry has stubborn stains, soak it in warm water with a small amount of mild, neutral detergent for 5 - 10 minutes. Then, gently brush it with a soft-bristled brush and rinse it thoroughly with clean water before drying. Avoid using cleaning agents with abrasive particles or strong alkalis to prevent damaging the gold plating or corroding the metal base.
- Pearl Jewelry
- The surface of pearls is delicate. Clean them by gently wiping with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface stains and grease. Avoid using any cleaning agents, as chemicals may damage the luster of the pearls. After wiping, blot the moisture with a dry cloth and let the pearls dry in a cool, well-ventilated place.
- Gemstone Jewelry (such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds, etc.)
- Prepare a small bowl, pour in an appropriate amount of warm water and a small amount of mild, neutral detergent. Soak the gemstone jewelry in it for 10 - 15 minutes. Then, gently brush the surface and crevices of the jewelry with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt. Finally, rinse it thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Note that gemstones like emeralds are relatively brittle, so be extremely gentle when brushing to avoid cracking the gemstones due to excessive force.
II. Responses to Special Scenarios
(I) Seasonal Maintenance
- Summer: In summer, people tend to sweat more, and the acidic substances in sweat can accelerate the oxidation and discoloration of jewelry. It is recommended to wipe your jewelry with a clean, soft cloth every day after wearing it to keep it clean and dry. When not in use, store the jewelry in a sealed bag to reduce its exposure to air.
- Winter: In winter, the air is dry, and jewelry surfaces are prone to static electricity, which attracts dust. Gently wipe your jewelry with a slightly damp soft cloth once a week to remove dust and maintain its luster.
(II) Travel Carrying
When traveling, store your jewelry separately in individual jewelry storage bags or small boxes to avoid friction and squeezing. If possible, carry a portable jewelry cleaning cloth to perform simple cleaning and maintenance on your jewelry at any time.
III. Common Problem Repair
(I) 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry Repair
- Surface Oxidation and Blackening: In addition to the above cleaning methods, you can also try soaking the silver jewelry in overnight strong tea for 10 - 15 minutes, then rinse it with clean water and dry it. This can effectively relieve the blackening of silver jewelry. If the oxidation is severe, it is recommended to contact our after-sales customer service and send the jewelry back for professional polishing treatment.
- Deformation and Damage: If the silver jewelry has slight deformation, you can try to adjust the shape gently with your fingers, but be careful not to apply too much force to avoid further damage. In case of severe deformation or breakage, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact our after-sales service in a timely manner, and we will provide professional repair services for you.
(II) 18K Gold-Plated Jewelry Repair
- Gold Plating Wear: When you notice slight wear on the gold plating, try to avoid further scratching the worn area. If the wear is obvious, contact our after-sales team. We will conduct gold plating repair or replating according to the actual situation.
- Loose Gemstones: If the gemstones set in the jewelry become loose, stop wearing it immediately and store it properly to prevent the gemstones from falling off and getting lost. Please contact our after-sales service in a timely manner and send the jewelry back for professional reinforcement by our experts.
