Stainless steel jewelry is an enduring and easily-maintained metal. It never rusts, corrodes, or oxidizes, ensuring its presence in your collection for years to come. However, it may require occasional cleaning and attention to preserve its luster.

 

How to care for stainless steel jewelry

Stainless steel is a great material for jewelry because it's strong, durable, and hypoallergenic. It doesn't tarnish or rust like other metals, so there's no need to worry about your jewelry turning colors or falling apart on you. Even though stainless steel is extremely sturdy, it still needs to be cared for in order to keep looking great and lasting longer. Here are some tips on how to do that:

• Take off your jewelry during activities that can pull or catch on it.Stainless steel jewelry is resistant to most scratches and dents, but it%u2019s not indestructible. When you wear your stainless steel jewelry%u2014particularly if the pieces are large or heavy%u2014you should remove it during activities that can pull or catch on it, like sleeping or sports. This applies to all types of jewelry not just stainless steel!
• Stainless steel is also durable enough that you can use it in place of gold or silver for everyday wear without fear of losing its shine. You may want to remove your ring before washing dishes by hand so it doesn't get banged up.
• Clean your jewelry with a soft cloth every few months to keep your jewelry from getting dusty or dirty. You can clean your jewelry with a soft cloth every few months to keep it shiny and new. Don't use a scouring pad or steel wool as they may scratch the metal. If your jewelry gets wet, rinse any excess water off with warm water and dry with a cloth. To clean an item that is particularly dirty, gently scrub with soap on a soft toothbrush and then rinse with warm water before drying completely.

Jewelry Cleaning Cloth

• A jewelry cleaning cloth is a handy tool to have and inexpensive. Keeping this with your jewelry collection will give you quick access to give your treasured pieces a wipe down every so often to keep them looking pristine. Keep your jewelry in a soft cloth jewelry bag when you're not wearing it.
• As you wear your jewelry, it will accumulate dust and grime. If you keep your jewelry in a soft cloth bag when not wearing it, you can avoid having to clean everything at once. A small bag is easy to pack and carry with you wherever you go, so there's no excuse not to use one!
• A good jewelry bag should be comfortable enough that it doesn't bother your skin or snag on clothes. It should also protect the pieces from getting tangled (this happens more often than most people think). Finally, if possible%u2014and this applies mostly for travel%u2014it should be able to hold other valuables like cash or credit cards without damaging them.

Baking Soda and Water

If your stainless steel is really filthy and needs a slightly more vigorous clean, using baking soda is a great solution.

• All you have to do is combine one tablespoon of baking powder with half a tablespoon of water to make a paste. A baby toothbrush will also function remarkably well, but you can also use a soft, lint-free cloth dipped in your paste for cleaning. If your jewelry is extremely filthy, you can even use vinegar in place of water to make a more acidic paste. Never forget to clean your jewelry against its grain.
• Once more, rinse well and use your microfiber cloth to pat dry when you're done. Water stains can appear on sterling silver, so make sure it dries completely. However, rubbing with a soft microfiber cloth dipped in white distilled vinegar is a simple way to remove any water stains you may find. Then just get up and let it air dry completely.

To keep your steel jewelry shining, we advise polishing it at least once a month! Recall that since steel jewelry never corrodes, you shouldn't clean it unless it has gotten dirty.

Regular polishing will make a big difference! Always remember to use extra caution when cleaning or polishing gemstones because they are not as resilient as stainless steel! Certain things are too delicate to be cleaned with vinegar, baking soda, or toothbrushes.

These delicate stones only need a light polishing with a cloth.
