Every piece from Lume de l’Ouest is designed to complement your everyday style with timeless elegance. With the right care, your jewelry can maintain its shine and beauty for years to come. Follow these simple care tips to help protect your favorite pieces.

Daily Care Tips

  • Put your jewelry on last, after applying makeup, perfume, lotion, or hairspray.

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

  • Avoid direct contact with household cleaning products and harsh chemicals.

  • Wipe your jewelry gently with a soft microfiber or polishing cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.

Store each piece separately to prevent scratches and tangling.

For the best protection:

  • Keep jewelry in the original Lume de l’Ouest pouch or jewelry box.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
