Care Guide
Keep What Matters Beautiful
Your BOUTEEQS pieces are made to be enjoyed, worn and remembered.
With a little care, your jewelry, fragrance and gift pieces can maintain their beauty for longer. Follow these simple recommendations to protect the pieces that make your moments memorable.
Jewelry Care
925 Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a precious metal made from 92.5% pure silver combined with other metals for added strength and durability.
Over time, genuine sterling silver may naturally tarnish when exposed to air, moisture, cosmetics and other environmental factors. This is a normal characteristic of silver and does not mean that your jewelry is damaged or defective.
To keep your silver looking its best:
-
Store jewelry in a clean, dry place when not being worn.
-
Keep individual pieces separated to help prevent scratching.
-
Gently polish silver using a soft jewelry polishing cloth.
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and humidity.
-
Remove jewelry before swimming, showering or exercising.
-
Avoid direct contact with household chemicals and cleaning products.
If tarnishing develops, gentle cleaning with a product specifically intended for sterling silver can help restore its appearance.
Gold & Rose-Gold Plated Jewelry
Plated jewelry has a layer of gold or rose-gold finish applied over the base metal, such as 925 sterling silver.
Because plating is a surface finish, it requires additional care to preserve its color and appearance.
We recommend:
-
Avoiding direct contact with perfume, lotions, creams and cosmetics.
-
Removing plated jewelry before showering or swimming.
-
Avoiding seawater, chlorine and cleaning chemicals.
-
Removing jewelry before exercising or sleeping where possible.
-
Cleaning gently with a soft, dry cloth.
-
Avoiding abrasive polishing products.
-
Storing each piece separately when not in use.
With regular wear, plating may gradually change or fade over time. The rate at which this happens depends on wear, skin chemistry, environmental conditions and how the piece is cared for.
Moissanite Care
Moissanite is known for its exceptional brilliance and durability.
Like any gemstone, however, everyday exposure to oils, creams, cosmetics and dust can reduce its sparkle over time.
To maintain its brilliance:
-
Gently clean your moissanite jewelry periodically.
-
Use lukewarm water with a small amount of mild soap when appropriate.
-
Clean gently using a very soft brush.
-
Rinse carefully and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning products.
-
Store separately from other jewelry to minimize scratching.
Regular gentle cleaning helps maintain the stone's distinctive brilliance.
Gemstone & Crystal Jewelry
Some BOUTEEQS pieces may feature gemstones, crystals or decorative stones that require gentler care.
Avoid exposing these pieces to harsh chemicals, excessive heat or abrasive cleaners.
When cleaning, use a soft cloth and avoid soaking unless the product's specific care instructions indicate that it is safe to do so.
Pearls & Delicate Materials
If your BOUTEEQS piece contains pearls or other delicate materials, extra care is recommended.
Pearls are particularly sensitive to perfumes, cosmetics and chemicals.
Remember:
Last on. First off.
Put your jewelry on after applying perfume, cosmetics, hairspray and skincare products.
At the end of the day, remove your jewelry before removing makeup, showering or beginning your skincare routine.
This simple habit can significantly help preserve delicate finishes and materials.
Wearing Your Jewelry
Jewelry is designed to be enjoyed, but some everyday activities can expose it to unnecessary wear.
We recommend removing your jewelry before:
-
Showering.
-
Swimming.
-
Exercising.
-
Sleeping.
-
Cleaning.
-
Applying beauty products.
-
Using household chemicals.
-
Entering pools, spas or seawater.
Particular care should be taken with delicate chains, fine settings and plated finishes.
How to Store Your Jewelry
Proper storage is one of the easiest ways to protect your jewelry.
For best results:
-
Store jewelry in its BOUTEEQS box or pouch.
-
Keep pieces individually separated.
-
Keep jewelry away from direct sunlight.
-
Choose a cool, dry storage area.
-
Avoid storing jewelry in bathrooms or other humid environments.
-
Fasten necklaces and bracelets before storing them to reduce tangling.
For longer-term storage, keeping sterling silver in an appropriate anti-tarnish pouch can help reduce exposure to air and moisture.
Perfume Care
Fragrance can change when repeatedly exposed to heat, sunlight and large temperature fluctuations.
To help preserve your perfume:
-
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place.
-
Keep it away from direct sunlight.
-
Avoid leaving perfume in very hot environments.
-
Keep the bottle properly closed when not in use.
-
Where possible, retain the original box for additional protection from light.
A bedroom drawer, wardrobe or other temperature-stable location is generally preferable to a humid bathroom or a location exposed to direct sunlight.
Flower Care
Fresh flowers are a beautiful part of the BOUTEEQS gifting experience and naturally have a limited lifespan.
To enjoy them for as long as possible:
-
Keep flowers in a cool indoor environment.
-
Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
-
Keep arrangements away from strong air-conditioning airflow.
-
Follow any watering instructions supplied with the arrangement.
-
Remove damaged or wilted flowers where appropriate.
-
Keep flowers away from ripening fruit, which can accelerate aging.
Because flowers are natural products, their lifespan and appearance will vary according to flower variety, environmental conditions and care.
BOUTEEQS Signature Gifts
A BOUTEEQS Signature Gift may bring together jewelry, fragrance, flowers and personalized elements within one presentation.
After receiving the gift, we recommend removing each component and caring for it according to its individual requirements.
Jewelry should be stored clean and dry.
Perfume should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat.
Fresh flowers should be cared for according to the arrangement instructions.
Gift boxes and presentation materials should be kept away from moisture and excessive heat if you wish to preserve them.
A Simple Rule to Remember
Last On. First Off.
Your jewelry should be one of the last things you put on after perfume, cosmetics and skincare — and one of the first things you remove at the end of the day.
A little care can make a meaningful difference.
