Caring For Your Tohfa Jewels

Your Tohfa Jewels are crafted with care to be a cherished part of your collection. Imitation jewellery has its own unique charm and requires a little love and attention to maintain its lustre and longevity. By following these simple care instructions, you can ensure your favourite pieces continue to sparkle and shine for years to come, looking as radiant as the day you received them.

The Do’s: Best Practices for Lasting Shine

• DO: Make It Your Final Touch Always wear your jewellery last—after you have applied all makeup, perfumes, lotions, and hairspray. Similarly, make it the first thing you take off at the end of the day. This simple habit prevents chemicals from damaging the plating and stops the pieces from snagging on your clothing.
• DO: Store It Smartly Proper storage is the most important rule. When you’re not wearing your jewellery, place it back in the original soft pouch or airtight box provided by Tohfa Jewels. Storing pieces separately prevents them from scratching, tangling, or rubbing against each other, which can damage their delicate finish.
• DO: Wipe It After Every Use After each wear, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (like a microfibre or spectacle cloth). This will remove any residual body oils, makeup, or dust that can dull its shine over time.

The Don’ts: Protecting Your Pieces from Damage

• DON’T: Expose It to Moisture Remove your jewellery before showering, swimming, entering a spa, or exercising. Water and sweat can cause the plating to tarnish quickly. Always remember to keep your precious pieces dry.
• DON’T: Let It Contact Harsh Chemicals Chemicals are the enemy of imitation jewellery. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hand sanitizers, hairsprays, and household cleaning agents. These substances contain ingredients that can cause the plating to corrode or discolour permanently.
• DON’T: Use Abrasives to Clean It Never use jewellery polishing cloths, chemical cleaners, toothpaste, or harsh brushes to clean your pieces. These are designed for precious metals and can strip the plating and scratch the surface of your fashion jewellery. A soft, dry cloth is all you need.

How to Gently Clean Your Jewellery

If your jewellery needs a little more than a simple wipe-down, follow these steps:

1. Prepare: Take a soft, microfibre or other lint-free cloth.
2. Wipe: Gently rub the surface of the jewellery to remove any grime.
3. Detail: For intricate designs, you can use a soft, clean, and dry makeup brush to lightly dust away any particles from the crevices.
4. Dry & Store: Ensure the piece is completely dry, then place it back in its designated airtight pouch or box.

A Note on Stones & Pearls

Jewellery featuring kundan, pearls, or other stones is often set with high-quality adhesives. It is especially important to keep these pieces dry, as moisture can weaken the glue and cause stones to become loose or fall out. Avoid any form of liquid cleaner and stick to a gentle, dry wipe for these delicate items.

A little care goes a long way in preserving the beauty of your favourite accessories. We hope you enjoy every moment of sparkle with your Tohfa Jewels.
