How to Clean your Permanent Jewelry

Jan 1

Written By Robin Murphy

Permanent jewelry is designed to be lived in—sleeping, showering, working, traveling, and everything in between. Because it’s always on, a little routine care goes a long way in keeping your chain bright, shiny, and looking brand new.

The good news? Cleaning your permanent jewelry at home is simple, quick, and doesn’t require fancy tools. Below is our go-to method, plus what to do if your chain needs a little extra TLC.

Why Permanent Jewelry Needs Regular Cleaning

Even the highest-quality gold-filled, sterling silver, or solid gold chains can collect everyday buildup. Think:

Lotion and sunscreen
Soap residue
Natural skin oils
Makeup and perfumes

Over time, this buildup can dull the shine of your jewelry. Regular cleaning restores its sparkle and helps maintain the integrity of your chain.

Our Favorite At-Home Jewelry Cleaner: Shinery Jewelry Wash

We’re big fans of Shinery Jewelry Wash because it’s:

Gentle enough for daily wear jewelry
Safe for gold-filled, sterling silver, and solid gold
Easy to use (no soaking or harsh chemicals)

It’s especially perfect for permanent jewelry since you don’t need to remove your chain to clean it.

How to Clean Your Permanent Jewelry at Home

Follow these simple steps:

1. Apply the Jewelry Wash

Pump a small amount of Shinery Jewelry Wash directly onto your permanent bracelet, anklet, or necklace.

2. Gently Lather

Use your fingers or a very soft brush to lightly work the cleanser around the chain and connector.

3. Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse with warm water, making sure all soap residue is removed.

4. Dry Completely

Pat dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid rubbing aggressively—gentle is best.

✨ Pro tip: Cleaning your permanent jewelry once every 1–2 weeks keeps it consistently shiny.

What to Avoid When Cleaning Permanent Jewelry

To protect your chain, skip the following:

Harsh chemical cleaners
Abrasive brushes
Baking soda or toothpaste hacks (they’re too abrasive)

When in doubt, gentle and simple always wins.

Can’t Get Your Chain Clean at Home? We’ve Got You.

Sometimes buildup is stubborn—especially around connectors or on chains worn daily. If your permanent jewelry isn’t cleaning up the way you’d like, you’re always welcome to stop by the store.

Here’s what we can do:

Professionally clean the chain
Weld it back on for you
