At City Girl Jewellery, we craft each piece with love — blending timeless elegance with accessible luxury. Whether it's a rhodium-plated CZ stud, a gold-plated bridal Nath, or a rose gold bracelet, proper care ensures your jewellery stays as dazzling as the day you bought it.
To help you preserve the sparkle and shine of your favourite pieces, we’ve curated this ultimate guide to jewellery care — the City Girl way!
1. Know What You’re Wearing
The first rule of jewellery care is understanding your materials:
-
Rhodium-Plated Jewellery (like our American Diamond studs): Highly resistant to tarnish but still needs gentle care.
-
Gold-Plated Jewellery (like our 24ct bridal Naths and Kada bangles): Beautiful but delicate — avoid abrasion.
-
Brass & CZ Stone Jewellery: Affordable and stylish, but prone to dullness if not maintained properly.
-
Stainless Steel Pieces (like our anti-tarnish western earrings): Durable but benefit from occasional polishing.
2. Avoid Contact with Moisture & Chemicals
Water, perfumes, lotions, and sweat can be jewellery’s worst enemies. Before heading to the gym, pool, or even a humid day outdoors:
-
Remove your jewellery
-
Apply perfumes and moisturizers before wearing it
-
Store separately from damp areas
Pro Tip: Always dry your skin fully before wearing any Manikya brass or rhodium pieces.
3. Clean Gently, Shine Bright
Over time, even the shiniest American Diamond pendants or CZ cocktail rings can lose their luster. Revive them with:
-
A soft microfiber cloth for quick wipes
-
A mix of lukewarm water and mild soap for deeper cleans (only for water-resistant materials)
-
Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or rough brushes — especially on plated jewellery
4. Store It Right
Tangled chains, scratched studs, and faded stones are often caused by poor storage. Use these tips:
-
Store pieces individually in soft pouches or lined boxes
-
Keep them away from sunlight and humidity
-
Use zip-lock bags for anti-tarnish storage — especially for silver and brass
City Girl’s delicate pendant sets and pearl chokers deserve their own space — don’t just toss them into your dresser!
5. Rotate Your Jewellery
Wearing the same piece every day increases its exposure to elements. To extend its life:
-
Rotate your collection
-
Save heavier or statement jewellery like our bridal sets or layered necklaces for special occasions
-
Let your studs or everyday bracelets rest in between wears
6. Know When to Take It Off
While our City Girl pieces are made to be stylishly durable, even the best jewellery deserves a break. Remove before:
-
Sleeping
-
Showering or swimming
-
Working out or cleaning
-
Applying makeup or hair spray
