Nuvellé Jewelry Care Guide

Preserve the beauty, brilliance, and longevity of your pieces.

At Nuvellé, every piece is crafted with intention — timeless elegance, delicate detailing, and modern romance. Proper care ensures your jewelry remains radiant for years. Please follow our care recommendations below.

1. Keep Your Jewelry Clean & Dry

Moisture is one of the biggest factors that can cause fading or tarnishing over time.
To maintain its shine:

  • Always dry your jewelry before storing it.

  • Wipe each piece gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after wearing it.

  • Avoid placing jewelry on damp surfaces (bathroom counters, wet towels, etc.)

2. Avoid Lotions, Perfumes & Chemicals

Cosmetics and chemicals can dull shine or weaken plating.
We recommend:

  • Applying perfume, body lotion, hairspray, sunscreen before putting on your jewelry.

  • Avoid hand sanitizers, alcohol-based perfumes, and cleaning sprays coming into contact with your pieces.

  • Keeping jewelry away from pools, spas, steam rooms, and chlorinated water.

3. Do Not Wear Jewelry at the Gym, Beach, or During Sleep

Daily friction and sweat can damage delicate components.
Remove your jewelry when:

  • Exercising

  • Swimming or showering

  • Cleaning, washing dishes, or handling chemicals

  • Sleeping (to avoid bending chains or snagging stones)

4. Store Your Jewelry Properly

Proper storage protects your pieces from scratches, moisture, and dust.
We recommend:

  • Keeping jewelry in a dry, cool place.

  • Using individual pouches or soft-lined boxes to prevent pieces from rubbing.

  • Storing gold-plated pieces separately to avoid tarnish transfer.

  • Using anti-tarnish strips for extra protection.

5. Clean Gently & Regularly

With soft cleaning, your jewelry will maintain its brilliance longer.
To clean at home:

  • Use mild soap and lukewarm water only.

  • Gently brush with a soft-bristled brush (never abrasive).

  • Pat dry completely with a soft microfiber cloth.

  • Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless the jewelry is solid gold or sterling silver.

Important Notes About Nuvellé Plated Jewelry

Your pieces are crafted using high-quality plating and premium materials. With proper care:

  • The shine and gold finish will last significantly longer.

  • Your pearls, crystal stones, and delicate floral elements will remain stunning and intact.

Jewelry naturally experiences light wear with time — caring for it ensures it stays beautiful through everyday moments and special occasions.

Care Tips for Pearl Jewelry

Pearls are delicate and require a little extra love.

  • Wipe pearls after each wear to remove skin oils.

  • Never store them in airtight plastic.

  • Keep pearls away from acids, perfumes, and hairspray.

  • Lay pearl necklaces flat to avoid stretching the silk/nylon cord.

Care Tips for Chains & Necklaces

Always clasp your chain when storing to prevent tangling.

  • If tangled, gently separate using baby oil and a fine pin — never pull forcefully.

  • Snake chains and herringbone chains must be handled gently to avoid bending.

Care Tips for Plated Metals

To extend plating life:

  • Remove before contact with sweat, water, lotions.

  • Store separately from harder metals.

  • Avoid rubbing pieces together.
