JEWELRY CARE GUIDE
Your AGIRA jewelry is made to be worn, loved, and treasured. With proper care, you can help preserve the beauty, shine, and craftsmanship of your favorite pieces for years to come.
DAILY JEWELRY CARE
To keep your jewelry looking its best:
- Put your jewelry on after applying perfume, lotion, makeup, and hairspray.

- Protect your pieces from hard surfaces to help prevent scratches, bends, or damage.

925 STERLING SILVER CARE
925 Sterling Silver can naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air, moisture, and everyday elements.
- Gently polish with a soft, dry jewelry polishing cloth.

- Do not use abrasive polishing cloths or harsh jewelry cleaners.

Solid gold is durable and designed for long-lasting wear, but proper care is still important.
- Clean gently with a soft cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning materials.
- Store separately to prevent scratches.

AGIRA pieces may feature beautiful gemstones such as Moissanite, Sapphire, Ruby, Topaz, Aquamarine, Tourmaline, Emerald, Garnet, and other natural or carefully selected stones. Each gemstone deserves thoughtful care.
MOISSANITE & DIAMOND CARE
To help maintain maximum brilliance and sparkle:
- Gently remove everyday oils and residue with appropriate cleaning.
- Avoid contact with heavy lotions and beauty products.
- Handle prong-set pieces carefully.
- Check your setting periodically to make sure stones remain secure.
- If a stone or setting feels loose, stop wearing the piece until it has been inspected.
PRONG SETTING CARE
Prong settings beautifully allow light to reach the gemstone, but they should be checked regularly.
- Avoid knocking prong-set jewelry against hard surfaces.
- Do not pull or catch the setting on clothing or other materials.
- Check periodically for loose stones or damaged prongs.
- If you notice movement in a stone, avoid wearing the piece until it can be inspected.

- Clean gently around the gemstone and setting.
- Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.

RING CARE
Rings experience more daily contact than many other types of jewelry. To help protect your ring, remove it before:

This can help protect both the metal and the gemstone setting.

HOW TO STORE YOUR JEWELRY
Proper storage is an important part of jewelry care.
- Store each piece separately whenever possible.
- Use a soft pouch, jewelry box, or lined storage compartment.
- Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity and direct sunlight.

- Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
- Remove surface oils, fingerprints, and residue carefully.
- Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials unless specifically suitable for your piece.

When in doubt, seek professional advice before using a cleaning method.
CHECK YOUR JEWELRY REGULARLY
We recommend inspecting your jewelry from time to time, especially pieces worn frequently.
Look for:
- Loose stones

If you notice any damage or movement, avoid wearing the piece until it has been properly checked.
