Jewelry Care 101
Keep Your Clasps Shining For Years
Simple, proven tips to protect your Claspgarten clasps and extend the life of every jewelry piece
Claspgarten clasps are known for their precision, beauty, and durability—but even the finest jewelry deserves a little extra care. With the right habits, you can protect the plating, preserve the shine, and ensure your clasps remain secure and elegant for years to come. Follow these simple care tips to keep every piece looking as stunning as the day you made it.
Water is the fastest way to ruin even the highest-quality plating. The steam from your shower, chlorine from a pool, or sweat from a workout may seem harmless in the moment—but over time, they eat away at the finish and weaken the clasp. By simply removing your jewelry before hopping in the shower or heading to the gym, you’re adding years of life and shine to your pieces. It’s a small habit that pays big dividends.
Perfumes, hairsprays, sunscreens, and lotions are silent clasp killers. The chemicals in these everyday products settle onto the metal and start to dull the surface. Spray your perfume first, let it dry, then put on your jewelry. Same with creams—apply them, let them soak in, then accessorize. Protecting clasps from sprays is one of the easiest ways to make them look showroom-new long after purchase.
Bleach, ammonia, silver dips, and household cleaners are jewelry’s worst enemy. They strip away plating, corrode metals, and leave clasps weakened and dull. It’s tempting to grab a quick-fix cleaner, but the cost is always higher than the convenience. Instead, stick to mild methods and let your clasps age gracefully. The result? Clasps that function securely and shine brilliantly for years to come.

I received a couple Claspgarten clasps that I ordered yesterday and although cup buttons are my fave, I really did like the ones I ordered, which were the square clasp with the pearl, very lovely..also have my eyes on disc clasp with the 3 crystals, very pretty too!
