✦ THE VAIRE DORÉ CARE GUIDE ✦
Keep Your Gold
Feeling Golden.
Your jewelry holds a name, a memory, or a little reminder of who you are. A few gentle habits will help every meaningful piece stay beautiful for longer.
A little love goes a long way
Your Simple Care Routine
Most Vaire Doré styles are crafted with durable stainless steel and finished in gold or white-gold plating. They are designed for everyday wear and are water-resistant, but plated jewelry lasts longest when treated gently. Always check the individual product page for the exact materials.
Put It On Last
Let perfume, lotion, sunscreen, body oil, hairspray, and makeup dry before adding your jewelry.
Take It Off
Remove it before swimming, showering, exercising, sleeping, cleaning, or using harsh chemicals.
Wipe It Down
After wearing, gently remove oils and residue with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
Store It Solo
Fasten the clasp and keep each piece flat in its own soft pouch, away from moisture and sunlight.
Soft touch only
How to Clean Your Jewelry
Routine cleaning should be gentle. A soft cloth is usually all your piece needs to bring back its shine.
Mix
Add one small drop of mild soap to lukewarm water.
Wipe
Lightly dampen a soft cloth and gently clean the surface. Do not soak the jewelry.
Rinse Gently
Use a second cloth lightly dampened with clean water to remove the soap.
Dry Completely
Pat the piece fully dry before wearing or placing it back into storage.
What to Avoid
Skip jewelry dips, bleach, alcohol, acetone, toothpaste, baking soda, rough brushes, abrasive cleaners, and chemical polishing cloths. These can scratch the surface or remove plating.
Extra Love for Personalized Pieces
Nameplates, script lettering, fine chains, and delicate connection points should never be pulled, twisted, or bent. Unclasp your necklace instead of pulling it over your head. If it tangles, lay it flat and slowly loosen the knot—never yank the chain.
Quick answers
Jewelry Care FAQs
Everything you need to keep your favorite pieces glowing.
Can I shower in my Vaire Doré jewelry?
Occasional water contact should not cause alarm, but we recommend removing plated jewelry before showering. Repeated exposure to hot water, soap, and shampoo can make the finish fade sooner.
Will my jewelry tarnish or turn my skin green?
Our stainless steel styles are designed to resist tarnish and green discoloration. Any plated finish can naturally soften or fade over time depending on wear, skin chemistry, moisture, and product exposure.
Is Vaire Doré jewelry hypoallergenic?
Stainless steel is well tolerated by many people, but sensitivities vary. Check the exact material details on the product page and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Can I sleep in my necklace?
We recommend taking it off before bed. Sleeping in a necklace can put tension on the chain, and cause tangling.
What should I do if my jewelry gets wet?
Pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it dry completely before storing. If exposed to chlorine or salt water, wipe it gently with a cloth dampened with fresh water first.
