How to Care for Your Engraved Necklace and Engravable Jewelry

June 26, 20244 min read

Your custom photo pendant from Typo Jewelry is a cherished keepsake, designed to last a lifetime. Because we use premium stainless steel, your jewelry is highly durable, rust-resistant, and hypoallergenic. However, proper care ensures that the intricate engraving remains as striking as the day you received it.

Daily Wear and Tear

Stainless steel is tough, but it's not invincible. While you can wear your pendant daily, we recommend removing it during heavy physical activities, swimming in chlorinated pools, or exposing it to harsh chemicals. These elements won't necessarily destroy the metal, but they can dull the polish and cause microscopic scratches over time.

Cleaning Your Pendant

Cleaning your engraved jewelry is simple. Avoid harsh jewelry cleaners. Instead, use a few drops of mild dish soap mixed with warm water. Gently wipe the pendant with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the engraved crevices, you can use a very soft-bristled toothbrush to gently sweep away dirt or oils. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry immediately.

Storage Tips

When you aren't wearing your piece, store it in a cool, dry place. Keep it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewelry box to prevent it from rubbing against harder metals or gemstones that might scratch the surface. With just a little bit of care, your memory will shine brightly for generations.
