Your jewelry goes through more than you think.
Lotions, soaps, chlorine, cleaning products, hand sanitizer, and everyday wear can all affect your jewelry over time... especially pieces you wear every single day.
Gold jewelry is beautiful and durable, but it is still an alloy. That means it is mixed with other metals to give it strength, color, and wearability. Those metals can react to chemicals and exposure, which may lead to discoloration, pitting, brittleness, loose stones, or weakened areas.
I made this short video to show why we always recommend taking your jewelry off before swimming, cleaning, using chemicals, or doing heavy work with your hands:

A little prevention can save you from a big repair later.
If you haven’t had your rings checked in a while, bring them by Avonlea Jewelers. We’re happy to take a look, clean them, and let you know if anything needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem.
