How to Care for your Alex and Ani Jewelry

Many of our customers come into our store and ask about the best ways to take care of their Alex and Ani jewelry. Because most people wear their bangles on a daily basis, this is a very good question! By following these simple steps, you will help keep your jewelry looking it's best!

1. Alex and Ani bangles should be the last thing you put on before leaving the house and the first thing you take off when you get home.

2. Always remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, or doing household chores.

3. If jewelry requires cleaning, use a mild soap, water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with water and pat dry. Avoid using jewelry cleaner, as the recycled metal that the bangles are made of could oxidize.

4. If you are cleaning the birthstone bangles or crystal earrings, use a soft toothbrush. After you clean them, make sure they are dry before you store them.

5. Try avoiding direct contact with your bangles and cosmetics. Lotions, (including sunscreen), perfume, hairspray, and deodorants could cause your jewelry to oxidize.

6.Wear your bangles on your non-dominate hand. When you bang your wrists on desks, cars, and other objects throughout the day, this takes a toll on your jewelry.

7. Each Alex and Ani bangle comes with a care card, so keep it in the same place where you store your jewelry, and you'll always have a reminder of maintaining your bangles!

Taking care of your bangles means they last longer and you can enjoy them more! Just follow these steps and keep up the (+) energy!
