A piece of jewelry you love is one you wear often. Good news: stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to care for. It doesn't tarnish and holds up well to everyday wear. A few simple steps are all it takes to keep your Syma jewelry looking radiant for longer, whether it's gold or silver-tone.
Why stainless steel is so easy to care for
Unlike silver, which can oxidize and tarnish over time, stainless steel retains its color. There's no need to polish it every week or store it away from the air. That's why we chose it: beautiful, easy-to-wear pieces that accompany you from morning to night.
Gold-tone finishes simply deserve a little care: by protecting them from friction and harsh products, you'll preserve their shine for longer.
The golden rule: jewelry on last
Perfume, cream, hairspray, body oil... These products can leave a film on your jewelry and, over time, dull its shine. The golden rule:
- apply your skincare products and perfume first;
- let them dry for a few minutes;
- put on your jewelry last.
In the evening, it's the opposite: take off your jewelry before removing your makeup or applying cream.
When to take it off
To preserve its shine as best as possible, we recommend taking off your jewelry:
- when exercising (friction, sweat);
- at the beach and pool (salt, chlorine, and sand are abrasive);
- when doing housework or using cleaning products;
- when sleeping, to prevent chains from tangling or catching.
How to clean it
A gentle cleaning from time to time is all it takes:
- Every day: wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after wearing it.
- If needed: quickly wash it in warm water with a drop of mild soap, gently rub it with your fingertips, and rinse.
- Always: dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing it.
Avoid: abrasive sponges, hard brushes, silver-specific products, and household cleaners. They could scratch or damage the finish.
Storing it properly
Most scratches come... from other pieces of jewelry. Store them separately, in their Syma pouch, in a quilted pouch or in a compartmented jewelry box. Remember to close chains to prevent knots. When traveling, a small jewelry case and a pouch for each piece will do the trick.
In summary
- Jewelry on last, after perfume and cream.
- Take it off for exercise, the beach, the pool, and housework.
- A soft cloth, a little warm water, and mild soap if needed.
- Store it separately, in its pouch.
With these few simple steps, your jewelry will stay as radiant as the day you first wore it. Looking for a new piece to pamper? Discover all our jewelry.
