HOW TO PRESERVE THE SHINE OF YOU MIONO JEWEL OVER TIME

Miono jewels are made to wear on every occasion. This will need no extraordinary maintenance, but they deserve some simple, caring attention that will make their shine last forever. 

1. Keep it away from wood
   Avoid leaving your jewellery on chemically treated surfaces or on wood which can stain or speed up the tarnishing process.
   
   
2. Keep it in a ziplock bag
   Over time, your jewelry comes in contact with moisture and air which causes it to eventually tarnish. Put it in a ziplock bag and squeeze out all the air before sealing.
   
   
3. Store your silver with chalk
   Chalk absorbs moisture, or if you find that dusty,  invest in some dehumidifiers or silica packs.
   
   
4. Keep your jewellery dry and away from skincare
   Don’t wear your jewellery then apply lotions, perfume or hairspray. Never wear silver jewellery when you go swimming or at the sauna.
   
   
5. Avoid leaving it in sunlight
   The colour of gemstones will become dull when exposed to too much light.
   
   
6. Put your pieces on rotation
   Jewellery isn’t meant to be worn 24/7, give it a break and show some love to other pieces of jewellery.
   
   
7. Keep gold jewellery separately from silver jewellery
   Gold scratches easily, so keep them in individual soft cloth bags or the original boxes they came it.
   
   
8. Give it a wipe
   At the end of the day, wipe your jewellery with a anti-tarnish cloth before storing it away. This will make sure any lingering moisture, oils or dust is gone.
   
   
9. Use dishwashing soap and warm water
   For pieces that are dull, filmy, or starting to discolor, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water and rub the jewelry with a soft cloth. Rinse in cool water and buff with a cloth until dry.
   
   
10. Take it to a pro
    If a piece becomes dull or stays dull despite your efforts, have it cleaned by your local jeweller.
