Jewellery Care Guide

Your Soniye pieces are made to add a little something to your everyday and festive looks. ✨

Like all fashion jewellery, they will stay beautiful for longer when treated with a little care.

Here are a few simple things you can do to keep your Soniye jewellery looking its best.

Do this

Why it helps

💧 Keep jewellery away from water

Helps protect the finish and prevents moisture from affecting the piece.

🌸 Apply perfume before putting on jewellery

Perfume and other products can affect the finish over time.

🧴 Keep away from creams and cosmetics

Oils and chemicals can dull the surface.

😴 Take jewellery off before sleeping

Prevents unnecessary rubbing, pulling and bending.

🏊 Remove before swimming or bathing

Chlorine, salt water and moisture can affect fashion jewellery.

🧘 Store each piece separately

Helps prevent scratches, tangling and accidental damage.

🛍️ Keep it in its pouch

Protects it from moisture, dust and prolonged exposure to air.

✨ Handle gently

Fashion jewellery is delicate and looks best when treated gently.

 

1. Keep Jewellery Away From Water

Water and moisture are not the best friends of fashion jewellery.

We recommend removing your jewellery before:

  • Bathing or showering
  • Swimming
  • Washing dishes
  • Exercising
  • Going out in heavy rain

If your jewellery does accidentally get wet, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to dry completely before storing it.

2. Perfume First, Jewellery Last

Here's a little styling rule worth remembering:

Perfume first. Jewellery last. ❤️

Perfume, deodorant, hairspray, creams and other cosmetic products can contain ingredients that may affect the finish of fashion jewellery over time.

Allow these products to dry before putting on your Soniye pieces.

3. Keep Cosmetics Away

Try to avoid direct contact with:

  • Moisturisers
  • Sunscreen
  • Makeup
  • Hair products
  • Oils
  • Sanitiser
  • Perfume and deodorant

These products can leave residue on jewellery and may gradually affect its shine or finish.

If you wear your jewellery regularly, giving it a quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing can help remove any residue.

4. Take It Off Before Sleeping

We know it is tempting to forget about your earrings once you've found the perfect pair.

But your jewellery will thank you for taking it off before bed. 😊

Sleeping in jewellery can cause unnecessary:

  • Friction
  • Pulling
  • Bending
  • Pressure
  • Tangling

Store your pieces safely after removing them.

5. Give Your Jewellery Its Own Little Home

We recommend storing each piece in its original Soniye pouch or a similar protective pouch when you're not wearing it.

Try to:

  • Store pieces separately where possible.
  • Keep them away from moisture.
  • Avoid leaving jewellery loose in handbags or jewellery boxes where pieces can rub against one another.
  • Keep earrings together with their backs or other components.

Your Soniye pouch isn't just pretty packaging. It also helps protect your jewellery between wears. ✨

6. Handle With Care

Fashion jewellery can be delicate, so a gentle touch goes a long way.

Avoid:

  • Pulling or bending the jewellery
  • Forcing clasps or closures
  • Dropping pieces onto hard surfaces
  • Wearing jewellery while doing activities that may snag or catch it
  • Trying to repair broken pieces yourself

If something feels stuck, don't force it. A little patience is much kinder to your jewellery.

7. Give Your Jewellery a Little Wipe

After wearing your jewellery, you can gently wipe it with a clean, soft and completely dry cloth.

This helps remove traces of skin oils, sweat and cosmetic residue.

Avoid abrasive cloths, rough tissues, jewellery polishing compounds or harsh cleaning products unless specifically recommended for that particular piece.

8. Keep It Away From Chemicals

Try to keep your jewellery away from household and cosmetic chemicals, including:

  • Perfume
  • Hair spray
  • Sanitiser
  • Cleaning products
  • Bleach
  • Chlorine
  • Strong soaps
  • Other chemical substances

Even small amounts of repeated exposure can affect the appearance and finish of fashion jewellery over time.

9. A Note About Tarnishing and Colour Changes

Fashion jewellery can naturally change in appearance over time.

Factors such as:

  • Moisture
  • Sweat
  • Skin chemistry
  • Perfume and cosmetics
  • Exposure to air
  • Frequency of wear
  • How the jewellery is stored

can affect the finish.

This is a natural characteristic of fashion jewellery and does not necessarily indicate a manufacturing defect.

The good news is that proper care and storage can help slow this process considerably.

10. For Earrings in Particular

Because Soniye loves earrings, here's a little extra care for your favourite pairs. ❤️

Before putting earrings on:

  • Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
  • Handle the earrings gently.
  • Check that the backs or closures are secure.

After wearing:

  • Remove them gently rather than pulling them out.
  • Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth if needed.
  • Store the pair together in its pouch.

If an earring has a delicate hanging element, avoid pulling or twisting it unnecessarily.

11. The Simple Soniye Rule

You don't need to be overly precious with your jewellery.

Just remember:

Dry. Clean. Gentle. Stored.

Keep it away from water and chemicals, put jewellery on after your beauty products, handle it gently, and give it a safe little home when you're done wearing it.

Do that, and your Soniye pieces can stay beautiful for many more wears. ✨

A Little Note From Us ❤️

Fashion jewellery isn't meant to sit in a cupboard forever.

Wear your Soniye. Enjoy your Soniye. Style it your way.

Just give it a little care between wears, and it will thank you for it.

Happy styling!
