Regular Cleaning

Every Louis Abel piece is shipped with a polishing cloth, when in need of touching up you can simply use the polishing cloth or any soft, lint-free cotton cloth. Avoid using paper towels or tissues as they can scratch the jewelry.

For pieces that need a more thorough cleaning, use a clean cotton cloth and mild dish detergent mixed with water. Apply the diluted dish detergent to the clean cloth and rub the piece in one direction. 

For heavily tarnished pieces, a silver polish can be effective. If even more thorough cleaning is required, an authorized jeweler can clean your pieces to restore them to a like-new condition.

Proper Storage

Separate your jewelry when storing to avoid scratches. Store your pieces in a cool, dry, closed area where they aren’t exposed to any chemicals, water, makeup, or perfume. Ensure they are separated to prevent scratching.

Wearing your jewelry

Wearing your silver jewelry often can prevent the silver from tarnishing, so we recommend that you enjoy and wear your jewelry every day. Avoid excessive contact with water and put on your jewelry after apply makeup, lotion, and perfume since they can cause them to tarnish.

We advise you against using water and soap when cleaning gold jewelry since it can cause the gold plating to wear off quicker. For pieces that are heavily tarnished, or the gold plating has rubbed off, advise your local jeweler, or contact customer@louis-abel.com

Wearing your jewelry

Moisture and chemicals can cause metals to tarnish, so we recommend putting on your necklaces after applying makeup, perfume, and lotions, allowing them to dry completely. Remove them when showering, swimming, sleeping, and exercising. If your pieces come in contact with water, make sure to dry them completely.

For both solid sterling silver and gold vermeil rings, we recommend avoiding contact with liquids, as they can cause tarnishing and the gold plating to wear off. Please remove rings when engaging in activities where they may be subject to impact, such as manual work or sports, as this can damage them.

As with all pieces of jewelry, we advise handling earrings with care. Avoid applying too much pressure when putting them on and ensure that they are straight to prevent bending the posts. We recommend storing your earrings in dedicated compartments or separate pouches to prevent scratches and reduce the risk of bending the posts. Additionally, avoid placing earrings face down on rough surfaces to prevent scratches.

Louis Abel bracelets can be adjusted slightly in size by tightening or loosening the bracelets carefully. However, make sure to only do this once, as it might break if done frequently. Instead of bending your bracelet to take it on/off we recommend sliding it on/off the thinnest part of your wrist.

Necklaces are less prone to damage than other pieces of jewelry as they are not as exposed. However, it is still important to handle them with care. Moisture and chemicals can cause metals to tarnish, so we recommend putting on your necklaces after applying perfume and lotions, allowing them to dry completely.
