Jewelry Care

You love your jewelry — and with the right care, you can help keep it looking beautiful for longer. Follow this simple guide to protect your favorite Moon Jewelry pieces.

Take It Off When Needed

Caring for your jewelry sometimes means knowing when not to wear it. We recommend removing your jewelry before activities that may expose it to impact, chemicals, moisture, or unnecessary friction.

  • Sports & Gym: Remove rings, bracelets, necklaces, and other jewelry before exercising or lifting weights. Pressure and impact may scratch, bend, or damage your jewelry.
  • Gardening & Manual Work: Dirt, tools, and heavy work can scratch surfaces or loosen stones and settings.
  • Cleaning: Household cleaners and strong chemicals may affect the appearance and finish of jewelry.
  • Swimming: Remove jewelry before swimming in pools, spas, or the ocean. Chlorinated and salt water may affect metals and finishes, and rings can also become loose in cold water.
  • Showering & Bathing: Soap, shampoo, and other products can leave a film on jewelry and reduce its shine.
  • Cooking: Dough, oils, and food residue can build up around stones and detailed areas.

Keep It Away From Beauty Products

Perfume, lotion, sunscreen, hairspray, cosmetics, and similar products can build up on jewelry and make it appear dull.

A good rule is:

Put your jewelry on last when getting ready and take it off first when you get home.

Allow lotions, perfume, and other products to dry before putting your jewelry on.

Safekeeping

When you remove your jewelry, store it somewhere safe, clean, and dry.

Whenever possible, keep individual pieces separate so they do not scratch or rub against one another.

A jewelry box, soft pouch, or lined storage compartment is ideal.

Avoid leaving jewelry in humid areas such as bathrooms for long periods.

Check Your Jewelry Regularly

If your jewelry contains stones or detailed settings, inspect it occasionally.

If you notice a loose stone, damaged clasp, bent setting, or other problem, stop wearing the piece until it can be checked.

Taking care of small problems early can help prevent further damage.

Keep It Clean

Regular gentle cleaning can help remove everyday oils, dust, and product buildup.

For routine cleaning:

Use a small amount of mild soap with lukewarm water.

Gently clean the jewelry using a very soft cloth or soft-bristled toothbrush.

Avoid aggressive scrubbing, especially around stones, delicate details, or plated surfaces.

Rinse carefully when appropriate and dry completely using a soft, lint-free cloth.

Never clean jewelry directly over an open drain.

Avoid Harsh Cleaning Products

Do not use bleach, chlorine, abrasive cleaners, strong chemicals, or rough cleaning materials on your jewelry.

We also recommend avoiding strong homemade cleaning solutions unless you are certain they are suitable for the specific metal, plating, and stones in your piece.

Different jewelry materials require different care methods.

Protect the Finish

Normal wear can gradually affect the appearance of jewelry over time.

To help preserve the finish:

Avoid frequent contact with water, sweat, perfume, lotions, cleaning chemicals, and other cosmetic products.

After wearing your jewelry, gently wipe it with a clean, soft cloth before storing it.

A Little Care Goes a Long Way

Jewelry is made to be enjoyed. A few simple habits — keeping it clean, storing it carefully, and removing it during activities that may damage it — can help keep your favorite pieces looking their best.
