Do you remember the excitement of opening your first locket? The anticipation as you unwrapped the packaging and revealed a shiny, beautiful locket and chain? At The Locket Sisters Studio, we understand that feeling and we strive to preserve it as we carefully prepare each locket for its journey to you.
Our meticulous cleaning process includes the use of a magnifying glass, Qtips, a gentle cleaning solution, and multiple polishing cloths. We handle your locket with care until the very last minute, ensuring that it arrives at your doorstep in pristine condition.
But once your locket is in your hands, we want to make it clear that it is meant to be worn and loved. Fingerprints, smudges, and even tarnish are a natural part of owning any metal jewelry. However, the joy and love that comes from wearing your locket far outweighs the need for it to look perfect all the time.
Each locket comes with its own polishing cloth, which will usually be enough to keep it shining and ready for wear. In fact, the oils from your skin will ironically help keep your locket clean and shiny. When not in use, we recommend storing your locket in the box it came in to protect it from exposure to air.
If your locket shows signs of wear and needs a deep clean, we've got you covered. We trust Connoisseurs cleaning solution to restore the shine to both gold and silver lockets. You can find this company's products at most big box stores or order them online.
We also offer Shinery products in our studio for those looking for a more natural option. This safe and effective cleaner is perfect for less tarnished jewelry and is gentle on the skin. We recommend our Permanent Jewelry customers to keep this on hand to lightly clean bracelets, necklaces, and anklets that are not removable.
Scratches on your locket are completely normal and a sign that it is being worn and loved. Embrace these imperfections and continue to add to the memories that your locket holds. After all, that is the reason you have it in the first place - to keep those precious memories close to your heart.
For a step-by-step guide on how to use Connoisseurs to bring back the shine to your Locket Sisters locket, check out our instructional video or read below. And as always, if you ever have any questions or concerns about caring for your locket, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
May your locket continue to carry the love and feelings that are needed each day to help you hold onto those cherished memories. Keep it shining and never stop wearing it - after all, it is the magic of your locket that makes it so special.
