JEWELRY CARE
Intro
Made to be remembered. Made to be cared for.
Your jewelry becomes part of your story with every wear. With thoughtful care, you can help keep your Hayat pieces looking beautiful for longer.
Because different materials and finishes require different care, always refer to the specific care information provided with your piece.
Everyday Care
To help preserve your jewelry:
- Put jewelry on after applying perfume, lotions, creams and other beauty products.
- Remove jewelry before bathing, swimming or exercising unless the product is specifically confirmed as suitable for those conditions.
- Avoid unnecessary contact with chemicals, cleaning products and harsh substances.
- Remove jewelry before sleeping when appropriate.
- Store each piece carefully when it is not being worn.
Keep Your Jewelry Dry
Unless a product is specifically described as water-resistant or suitable for water exposure, we recommend keeping it away from:
- Water
- Perfume
- Lotions
- Oils
- Chlorine
- Cleaning products
Different metals and finishes respond differently to moisture and chemicals, so always follow the care instructions for your specific piece.
Storing Your Jewelry
Store your jewelry in a:
- Clean
- Dry
- Soft
- Protected
place when not in use.
Where possible, keep pieces separated to help prevent scratching, tangling or unnecessary contact between different materials.
Cleaning
Use a soft, clean and dry cloth to gently remove surface oils or residue.
Avoid abrasive materials, harsh cleaning products or aggressive polishing unless the product’s specific care instructions recommend them.
Important: Some plated, oxidized or specially finished pieces may require different cleaning methods. Always check the product-specific care instructions first.
Gold-Plated Jewelry
Gold-plated jewelry requires particular care because its finish is a surface layer over another base material.
To help preserve the plating:
- Minimize exposure to water and chemicals.
- Avoid perfume and lotions directly on the piece.
- Remove before swimming, showering or exercising.
- Store separately when not being worn.
- Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
The longevity of plating can vary depending on wear, skin chemistry, exposure and care.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver may naturally develop a darker appearance over time due to exposure to air, moisture and other environmental factors.
Gentle cleaning and proper storage can help maintain its appearance.
Fine Jewelry
For pieces made with precious metals or stones, follow the specific care instructions provided for that item.
For valuable pieces, professional cleaning and inspection may be appropriate from time to time.
Caring for Your Stones
If your jewelry contains gemstones, avoid:
- Harsh chemicals
- Abrasive cleaning
- Excessive impact
- Prolonged exposure to moisture where applicable
Stone durability varies, so care recommendations should always be based on the specific stone used in your piece.
