Avoid Contact with Chemicals

Chemicals can cause reactions that damage or discolor jewelry. Common chemicals include:

• Perfume
• Hairspray
• Detergents
• Cleaning products
• Cosmetics
• Pool chlorine
• Bleach
• Disinfectants
• Sunscreen
• Nail polish and remover
• Acidic substances

Tip: Remove your jewelry before applying perfume, skincare, or any chemical products.

Clean Regularly

Regular cleaning helps maintain the original shine and brilliance of your jewelry. Follow these simple steps:

• Use a soft polishing cloth or sponge to clean, avoiding scratches.
• Clean with a few drops of warm water (excluding opals).
• Avoid harsh cleaners or rough cloths.

Store Properly

When not wearing your jewelry, store it carefully to prevent wear and tear. Here are some tips:

• Keep pieces separate to avoid scratches. All jewelry purchased from Alinaceleste comes with beautiful and suitable jewelry boxes or bags for your safe storage.
• Avoid humid environments to prevent oxidation or tarnishing.
• For pearls, store them in a breathable silk pouch instead of sealed plastic bags, as they need air circulation.

Avoid Overwearing

Avoid wearing jewelry when exercising, doing housework or taking a bath to avoid unnecessary wear or damage.

Opal Care

Water opals are known for their beautiful sheen but can lose moisture if exposed to dry environments for too long, leading to cracks. Immersing them in water will reduce their play of color or even lose it.

While Alinaceleste Jewelry’s opals have a protective water-resistant layer, please take care:

• Avoid exposing opals to direct sunlight or high temperatures for long periods.
• Keep them away from water and avoid soaking.
• Every few months, wrap your opal in a slightly damp cloth for a short time before storing it to maintain a gentle moisture balance.
