Jewelry Care

Apelila jewelry is designed to be worn often and enjoyed every day. With a little care, your pieces will keep their shine for years

Our Materials

Apelila Jewelry uses high-quality materials including 14k gold-filled metals, gold vermeil, and hand-selected freshwater pearls.

Our pearl pieces feature 5A freshwater pearls, chosen for their smooth surface, luster, and natural beauty. Each pearl is unique, giving every piece its own subtle character.

Like all jewelry, these materials benefit from occasional care to help maintain their shine.

Everyday Wear

Jewelry naturally collects oils from skin, sunscreen, and beauty products throughout the day. A few simple habits will help keep your pieces looking their best:

• Apply perfume, lotion, or sunscreen before putting on jewelry
• Avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals or cleaning products
• If jewelry is exposed to salt water or chlorine, rinse gently with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth
• After wearing, give your jewelry a quick wipe with a soft cloth to remove oils and buildup

Storage

Proper storage helps preserve your jewelry’s finish and shine.

• Store pieces in a pouch or jewelry box
• Keep jewelry separate to help prevent tangling and scratching
• Store in a cool, dry place whenever possible

Humidity and air exposure can contribute to tarnishing over time, so a closed pouch or box is ideal.

Cleaning Your Jewelry

Cleaning your jewelry is simple.

For regular care:

• Gently polish with a soft jewelry cloth

For a deeper clean:

• Use warm water and a drop of mild soap
• Gently clean with a soft cloth or very soft brush
• Rinse and dry thoroughly

Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Caring for Pearls

Freshwater pearls are natural and benefit from gentle care.

• Wipe pearls with a soft cloth after wearing
• Avoid direct contact with perfume, hairspray, and beauty products
• Store pearl pieces separately from metal pieces when possible

Pearls are meant to be worn and enjoyed. Gentle care simply helps maintain their natural luster.

Natural Wear Over Time

Like all jewelry, pieces may develop a soft patina with regular wear. This is completely normal and can usually be refreshed with gentle cleaning.

Because many Apelila styles feature natural freshwater pearls, slight variations in shape or surface are expected. These natural differences are part of what makes each piece unique.
