Jewelry Care

Lumaire jewelry is designed to bring effortless elegance into your everyday moments. Each piece is made to feel beautiful, wearable, and lasting with the right care.

Most of our jewelry is crafted from strong stainless steel, a durable and hypoallergenic material that is naturally resistant to tarnishing and discoloration. Our gold pieces are finished with 14–18k gold plating, while our silver pieces are plated with .925 sterling silver. Select styles may be plated over brass, depending on the design.

To help preserve the beauty of each piece, our plated jewelry is finished using PVD, or Physical Vapor Deposition, a modern coating process that helps create a stronger, longer-lasting finish than traditional plating methods.

Stainless Steel Jewelry

Stainless steel is one of the most durable materials used in jewelry. It is waterproof, sweat-proof, tarnish-resistant, and made for everyday wear. Because of its strength, stainless steel helps your jewelry maintain its shape, shine, and color over time.

Although our stainless steel jewelry is designed to handle everyday wear, plated finishes still deserve gentle care. To increase the longevity of your piece, we recommend avoiding direct contact with perfume, removing your jewelry before showering, and cleaning it occasionally with the provided cloth.

Brass Jewelry

Some Lumaire pieces may be crafted with brass as the base metal and finished with a layer of precious metal plating. Brass allows for beautiful, detailed designs while still offering a polished and elevated look.

Because brass is more sensitive to moisture and chemicals than stainless steel, these pieces should be handled with extra care. Avoid wearing brass-based jewelry while swimming, showering, exercising, or applying beauty products. Keeping it dry and storing it properly will help preserve the finish for as long as possible.

Plated Jewelry

Plated jewelry features a layer of precious metal, such as gold, sterling silver, or rhodium, applied over a base metal. At Lumaire, our plated finishes are chosen to create a refined look with lasting shine.

Our plating is made to be durable, especially with the added strength of PVD finishing, but all plated jewelry benefits from mindful care. To protect the finish, avoid direct contact with chemicals, moisture, sweat, perfume, and rough surfaces.

When you are not wearing your jewelry, store it in a dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight.

How to Care for Your Lumaire Jewelry

To keep your jewelry looking beautiful:

  • Avoid spraying perfume directly onto your jewelry.

  • Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.

  • Gently wipe each piece with the provided cloth occasionally, especially after wear.

  • Store your jewelry in a pouch, box, or dry area when not in use.

  • Keep pieces separate to prevent scratching or tangling.

With the right care, your Lumaire jewelry can stay luminous, polished, and ready for the moments that make you feel most like yourself.
