The complete guide on how to clean your bracelets
Every bracelet carries a memory. Let it shine with care.
Bracelets do more than adorn — they reflect movement, expression, and style. As they rest close to your skin, they collect stories, but also dust, oils, and time. Cleaning them is more than a task — it’s a ritual to preserve beauty and honor presence.
What You’ll Need
Gather the basics before you begin:
- Soft microfiber cloth
- Mild soap or jewelry cleaner
- Soft-bristled brush (for detail and buildup)
- Bowl of warm water
- Cotton swabs or a small sponge
How to Clean by Material
Copper
Create a gentle paste with lemon juice and salt. Rub softly, rinse with warm water, and dry completely.
Silver & Sterling Silver
Use a polishing cloth or soak in soapy warm water. Brush gently if needed, rinse, and dry to prevent tarnishing.
Leather
Wipe carefully with a cloth dampened in soapy water. Let air dry. Never soak leather — softness must be preserved.
Gold
Soak in warm, soapy water. Clean with a soft brush, rinse, and dry thoroughly with a cloth.
Rope
Wash gently with soap and water using a soft toothbrush. Rinse and let dry naturally.
Diamond
Soak in soapy water. Brush gently between the stones. Rinse well and dry with a lint-free cloth to restore its sparkle.
How Often Should You Clean Your Bracelets?
-
Gold and silver: Every 2–3 weeks, especially with frequent use.
-
Leather and rope: Once a month, or after exposure to sweat.
-
Activity-based: Clean more often if worn during workouts or busy days.
- After swimming: Always clean after exposure to salt or chlorine. These elements weaken both metals and natural materials.
