Gorgeous earrings will stay beautiful and good for a long time when you take care of them the way they deserve. Whether it's big earrings with extravagant bling or smaller stud earrings, it pays to look after them well so they stay beautiful for a long time. Take a look at this article for tips on how to store, clean and use your jewellery properly!

We strive to use durable and lightweight materials such as domestic birch plywood, epoxy resin, acrylic, rattan and polymer mass. Hooks, pegs and rings are made of safe and non-allergenic surgical steel. Surgical steel is also a very high quality, durable and long-lasting material, as it does not warp, darken or change colour and remains bright.

Storing your earrings - how and where?

Gorgeous earrings deserve to be displayed and stored in a way they deserve. A jewellery box or an earring holder are good options. This way, the jewellery stays beautifully organised in its own place. Not only is the jewellery stand a beautiful part of your decor, it makes it easy to choose the right jewellery for your day's outings. Check out the Vorssa Ink earring holders here.

Keep your earrings separate from each other. Jewellery that is free to rotate on the bottom of the tray is more prone to wear and tear, scratching the surface of the jewellery and causing metal parts to warp or cling to each other. Mirrored acrylic in particular is susceptible to scratches if metal parts rub against the surface of the acrylic. You should also avoid storing your jewellery in direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade the colour of your earrings.

Cleaning your earrings - how and with what?

Cleaning is an important part of earring care. The metal parts can be cleaned with mild soapy water and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, such as abrasive cleaners, which can damage the surface and materials of the jewellery. Any fingerprints on the surface of the earrings can be easily cleaned with a dry microfibre cloth, for example.

Avoid these

Bathing, sauna and shower

Avoid exposing your jewellery to excessive moisture such as bathing, sauna or shower. Excessive moisture can weaken the structure of jewellery and cause long-term damage. So remember to take your jewellery off before doing these things.

Sleeping with your jewellery on

Take your earrings off when you go to bed too. Sleeping with your earrings on can cause them to warp and they can get caught on your bedding. So avoid sleeping with your earrings on and store them during the night, for example in an earring holder or jewellery box.

Chemicals (such as cosmetics, perfume and hairspray)

Also avoid exposing your earrings to chemicals such as cosmetics, perfume or hairspray. Chemicals can damage the surface of the jewellery and weaken the materials. It is therefore advisable to wear your jewellery last. So, put the lying down first and the earrings as a final touch!
