Let’s Hear It For The Men! (And Their Jewelry)

What about men’s jewelry? Women’s jewelry gets lots of attention: engagement rings, stacks of bangles, statement earrings – its pretty fabulous.

Men’s Jewelry is often more subtle. However, many men do wear meaningful pieces that celebrate themselves or their personalities. But, do they know how to keep those pieces clean? Active guys might find that the day-to-day grind puts a damper on their shine.

Here’s a quick rundown of what guys need to know:

Watches

Whether the watch cost hundreds of dollars or thousands, it requires routine at-home cleaning because they are worn daily. Watchband links and casings collect grime and oils and must be cleaned to keep them shining. A Jewelry Cleaning Wipe is perfect for watches that cannot be soaked in a cleaning formula or liquid.

Our exclusive Clean + Care Professional Ultrasonic Cleaner is another fantastic option for cleaning watches. It includes a watch holder, which makes cleaning water resistant watches simple by keeping the case of the watch out of the liquid and ultrasonic vibrations.

Rings

From signet rings, class rings, or something flashy with set stones, daily cleaning is required to keep things looking sparkling. You can’t ignore the build-up of grime from everyday wear that dulls a ring’s shine.

Many male customers choose simple metal bands in gold, platinum, and more recently, titanium and tungsten. To keep a plain band clean, men should soak the ring in a professional Jewelry Cleaning Formula and then buff it with a Professional Polishing Cloth. For rings with engraving, intricate designs or set stones, use a small brush with the cleaning formula to remove grime.

Cufflinks

Although most men may not wear cufflinks daily, they are brought out for special occasions and must be cleaned to maintain their shine.

To clean cufflinks, be sure to assess the materials used in the piece. Gold, platinum and silver cufflinks can be soaked in a Professional Fine Jewelry Cleaner or cleaned in the Clean + Care Professional Ultrasonic Cleaner. But enamel, mother of pearl and other soft gemstones should be cleaned using a Professional Gentle Jewelry Cleaning formula.
