How to Care for Anti-Tarnish Jewellery: A TEEYAKA Routine
A useful jewellery routine should fit into the day you already have. TEEYAKA recommends keeping its pieces dry, putting them on after skincare and fragrance, and storing them separately after wear. Here is how to turn those instructions into a simple routine for the anti-tarnish pieces in our collection.
Start with the exact piece, rather than the label
Read the material, finish and care details on the product page before choosing how to wear or clean a piece. Our anti-tarnish collection includes earrings, pendant necklaces and matching sets. These designs do not all have identical construction or decorative details. A finish description is not a reason to ignore the care instructions.
Before leaving home: jewellery goes on last
Finish skincare, makeup and fragrance first. Let products dry before putting on your necklace, bracelet or earrings. Avoid spraying perfume directly over a pendant or applying lotion while wearing a bracelet. Keep a small pouch near the place where you get ready so there is somewhere safe to put a piece while you finish.
During the day: give each piece a safe place to rest
Remove TEEYAKA jewellery before bathing, swimming or exercising, as our care instructions recommend. When you need to take something off, place it in a pouch or box rather than leaving it loose beside a sink or in a handbag. For travel, keep each piece in its own compartment so chains, settings and decorative details do not rub together.
After wear: wipe, separate and store
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the piece gently.
- Check that chains are untangled and the clasp closes normally. Do not force a stiff clasp or pull a knot tight.
- Store each piece separately in a clean, dry pouch or box.
For TEEYAKA pieces, follow the dry-cloth method rather than experimenting with toothpaste, abrasive cleaners or polishing chemicals. If a piece needs more than a gentle wipe, contact us with its name and a clear photograph before trying a stronger cleaning method.
Three common questions
Can I wear TEEYAKA anti-tarnish jewellery in the shower?
Our care guidance is to remove jewellery before bathing or swimming and keep it away from water. Follow that guidance even when a product is described as anti-tarnish.
Should I store several necklaces together?
Store them separately. Give each chain its own pouch or compartment to reduce rubbing and tangling.
Does anti-tarnish mean every TEEYAKA product has the same finish?
No. Check the individual listing for its stated material and finish. This collection groups products whose listings explicitly describe an anti-tarnish finish.
