Preservation Guide

Jewelry Care

Each EZMAY piece is handcrafted with care and deserves to be preserved with the same attention. Follow these guidelines to keep your jewelry beautiful for years — and generations — to come.

Storage

  • Store each piece separately in the soft cloth pouch provided, or wrap in acid-free tissue paper. This prevents scratching between pieces.

  • Keep jewelry away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperatures. A cool, dry drawer or a dedicated jewelry box is ideal.

  • Store silver pieces in an airtight container or zip-lock pouch to slow tarnishing.

Cleaning

  • Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove skin oils and dust.

  • For silver pieces, use a specialist silver polishing cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.

  • Kundan and Meenakari pieces should never be immersed in water or cleaned with liquid solutions, as moisture can loosen the lac base and damage the enamel.

  • For gold-plated pieces, use a very soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Dry immediately and thoroughly.

Daily Wear

  • Put jewelry on after applying perfume, hairspray, and makeup — chemicals in cosmetics can accelerate tarnishing and dull gemstones.

  • Remove jewelry before bathing, swimming, or any water-related activities. Chlorine and saltwater are particularly damaging.

  • Remove pieces before physical exercise. Sweat accelerates tarnishing, and impact can bend delicate settings.

  • Take off rings and bracelets when washing hands or doing household chores.

Gemstones

  • Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with Polki, Kundan, or lac-set stones — vibration can loosen settings.

  • Most gemstones can be gently cleaned with a soft brush and mild soapy water, but always check with us first if you are unsure.

  • Inspect settings periodically. If a stone feels loose, bring the piece in for professional re-setting before wearing it again.

Professional Care

  • We recommend having your most-worn pieces professionally cleaned and inspected once a year.

  • If a piece requires repair, please contact us directly. Attempting home repairs can cause irreversible damage to handcrafted jewelry.
