Jewelry Care Guide

Keep Your CQ CHIC Pieces RadiantAt CQ CHIC, jewelry is more than an accessory. It is a quiet ritual — a reminder of intention, balance, and self-expression. Proper care preserves not only the beauty of your jewelry, but also the meaning you choose to wear with it.

Daily Wear

CQ CHIC pieces are created to be part of your everyday rhythm. With mindful wear and simple care, they will remain beautiful and meaningful for years to come.

  • Put your jewelry on last, after skincare, perfume, and hair products. Remove pieces before sleeping, exercising, or heavy physical activity. Rotate your favorite pieces to reduce everyday surface wear.

Water, Sweat & Chemicals

Moisture and chemicals may not cause immediate damage, but repeated exposure will gradually dull the shine over time.

  • Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, or entering saunas and steam rooms. Avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hairspray, hand sanitizer, and cleaning products. If your piece gets wet, gently pat dry with a soft cloth as soon as possible.

Cleaning & Polishing

Gentle cleaning keeps your jewelry bright without damaging the surface or wearing down finishes.

  • Wipe jewelry after each wear using a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with a small amount of mild soap, then dry completely. Avoid harsh cleaners, abrasive pastes, or ultrasonic machines — especially on plated pieces.

Storage

How you store your jewelry matters just as much as how you wear it.

  • Store pieces separately in pouches or compartments to prevent scratching. Keep jewelry away from humidity and direct sunlight when not in use. Close clasps before storing to avoid tangling and unnecessary stress on chains.

Plated Pieces

High-quality plating remains beautiful longer when protected from friction, water, and chemicals.

  • Follow all care guidance related to water and chemical exposure. Do not polish plated jewelry with abrasive cloths or pastes. Natural wear may occur over time — this is part of the piece’s journey.

Wear Notes

Your jewelry is meant to support your day — treat it gently when life becomes intense.

  • Remove jewelry during workouts, heavy work, and sleep to protect shape and finish. Avoid stacking pieces that rub strongly against each other for long periods. If skin irritation occurs, stop wearing the piece and contact us for assistance.
