How to Care for Your Jewelry So It Lasts

Your jewelry should last as long as the memories you make in it. At Minika, we design pieces that are delicate yet durable — but a little extra love goes a long way in keeping them looking their best.

Whether it’s your go-to pair of hoops or a special piece you wear on occasion, here are a few simple tips to help your jewelry stay beautiful over time:

1. Avoid Water, Sweat & Harsh Chemicals
Always remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or working out. Perfume, lotions, and even hairspray can affect the finish of your pieces over time — so apply those first, let them dry, then put your jewelry on.

2. Store with Care
Keep your pieces in a dry, soft-lined box or pouch — ideally separate from each other to avoid scratches or tangling. A little organization goes a long way in preserving shine.

3. Clean Gently
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe your jewelry after wearing. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and lukewarm water can help — just be sure to fully dry it before storing.

4. Be Mindful with Plated Pieces
If your piece is gold-plated or vermeil, treat it with extra care. These styles are designed for occasional wear and can last longer with gentle handling.

Your Jewelry, Your Story
Jewelry is more than an accessory — it holds sentiment and tells a story. A little extra care ensures yours stays part of your story for years to come.
