How to care for you jewelry

Caring for Your Anne Swain Jewelry

Anne Swain Jewelry is thoughtfully designed to be worn, loved, and lived in. Each piece is crafted with care using quality materials and delicate details inspired by nature. With a little mindful care, your jewelry will remain beautiful for years to come.

Everyday Wear

Your jewelry is made to be enjoyed every day, but a few small habits will help protect its finish:

  • Remove jewelry before exercising, swimming, showering, or cleaning

  • Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, hairspray, and cosmetics

  • Put jewelry on last when getting ready and remove it first at the end of the day

These steps help prevent buildup, dullness, and unnecessary wear.

Sterling Silver Care

Sterling silver naturally oxidizes over time. This is normal and easily cared for:

  • Gently polish with a soft silver polishing cloth to restore shine

  • Store silver pieces dry and away from humidity

  • Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive materials

Regular wear can actually help keep silver bright by reducing oxidation.

Gemstones & Delicate Details

Anne Swain Jewelry often features bezel-set stones and sculptural details. To protect them:

  • Avoid knocking gemstones against hard surfaces

  • Do not soak gemstone jewelry in water

  • Clean gently using a soft, dry cloth

Bezel settings are designed for comfort and durability, but gentle care keeps stones secure and sparkling.

Storage

Proper storage is one of the best ways to preserve your jewelry:

  • Store each piece separately to prevent scratching

  • Use a soft pouch, jewelry box, or anti-tarnish bag

  • Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

If traveling, wrap pieces individually or use a jewelry roll to avoid friction.

Cleaning Your Jewelry

For routine cleaning:

  • Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing

  • Avoid  chemical dips

  • Never use toothpaste, baking soda, or household cleaners

Simple, gentle care is always best.

A Note on Handmade Jewelry

Each Anne Swain Jewelry piece is carefully made and finished by hand. Small variations in texture or finish are part of what makes your jewelry unique. Treat your piece with care, and it will age beautifully with you.
