How to care for amber

Products made from natural amber are magnificent and unique. Baltic amber jewelry is a true natural beauty, but beauty requires some work - from time to time. Amber jewelry needs care and respect, like any important property.

Follow these basic guidelines and your amber jewelry will continue to remind you of the first day you bought it.

How to clean amber?

To clean amber, use a soft flannel cloth dampened with clean warm water.
It is necessary to dry the amber very thoroughly.
If you want to restore the shine, use a small drop of olive oil to polish the amber, then wipe again with a dry cloth.
Amber jewelry should not be stored with other jewelry, where it can rub against other objects, especially metals. We recommend that you place your Baltic amber jewelry in a soft pouch (flannel and velvet are perfect for this purpose) with a drawstring closure.
Do not wear Baltic amber jewelry before applying hairspray and perfume, as this can lead to a whitish coating that can become permanent and dull the amber shine.

Since amber is natural, it is somewhat alive and porous and still interacts with the environment.

Another important thing about caring for your amber is to avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners, which can eventually shatter the stone. It is also highly recommended that amber should never come in contact with chemical solutions, detergents or commercial jewelry cleaners. Keep amber jewelry away from kitchen substances.

Always remove jewelry when bathing, chlorine is especially harmful to jewelry.

If any chemicals come into contact with your jewelry, make sure you wash it off immediately to avoid any buildup that could make cleaning difficult in the future.

Store amber jewelry away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid being exposed to sudden changes in temperature such as hot baths, very cold water, and getting into the oven and then into a cold sink. All this can affect the appearance of amber.
