How to Care for Your Jewelry After the Holidays

Published: Jan 2, 2026
How to Care for Your Jewelry After the Holidays
Author: 
Kristen Toole
The holidays are filled with celebrations, gatherings, and meaningful moments — and often, your jewelry is right there with you through it all. From daily wear to special occasions, the season can take a quiet toll on even the most well-made pieces.

A little post-holiday care goes a long way in keeping your jewelry looking beautiful and lasting for years to come.

Why Post-Holiday Care Matters
Jewelry is often worn more frequently during the holidays — layered, styled, and sometimes worn longer than usual. Lotions, perfumes, temperature changes, and everyday activities can all contribute to buildup, loosening, or wear.

Checking in on your jewelry after a busy season helps catch small issues before they become bigger repairs.

At-Home Care Tips
Regular at-home care helps maintain your jewelry between professional cleanings.

  • Gently clean pieces with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners
  • Dry jewelry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth
  • Store pieces separately to prevent scratching or tangling
These simple habits help preserve shine and reduce everyday wear.

When to Bring Jewelry In for Professional Care
Some things are best left to the experts. We recommend professional cleaning and inspection if you notice:

  • Stones that feel loose or appear misaligned
  • Clasps that don’t close securely
  • Dullness that doesn’t improve with gentle cleaning
  • Rings that spin or feel different on the finger
Routine inspections help ensure stones are secure and settings remain strong.

Caring for Different Types of Jewelry
Different pieces require different attention.

  • Rings: Remove during cleaning, exercise, or hands-on tasks
  • Necklaces: Store flat or hung to prevent tangling and stress on chains
  • Bracelets: Check clasps regularly, especially on heavier styles
  • Earrings: Clean posts and backs to maintain comfort and security
Being mindful of how you wear and store each piece makes a noticeable difference.

Make Jewelry Care Part of Your Routine
Just like seasonal wardrobe swaps or home maintenance, jewelry care fits naturally into your routine. A quick check after the holidays helps protect the pieces you love — and ensures they’re ready for everyday wear or your next special moment.

A little attention now keeps your jewelry shining well beyond the season.

Stop in anytime for a professional clean and check — we’re always happy to help keep your jewelry looking its best.
