How to Care for Aluminum Jewelry



Aluminum is one of the easiest metals to wear, it is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and naturally resistant to tarnish. With just a tiny bit of care, your pieces will stay bright and beautiful for years.

🌿 Keep It Clean

Aluminum doesn’t rust or tarnish, but it can pick up oils from skin or lotions. A quick wipe with a soft cloth after wearing keeps the shine fresh. Invest in a jeweler's polishing cloth. They are inexpensive and do a great job of shining up metals.

🧼 Simple Wash (When Needed)

If your piece looks dull, wash it gently with:

  • Mild soap

  • Warm water

  • A soft cloth or sponge Rinse and dry completely.

✨ Avoid Abrasives

Skip harsh cleaners, scouring pads, or anything gritty — they can scratch the surface and dull the finish.

💧 Keep Away From Chemicals

Remove aluminum jewelry before swimming, cleaning, or using perfumes and lotions. Chlorine and strong chemicals can discolor the metal.

🛍️ Store It Smart

Aluminum doesn’t tarnish like copper or silver, but storing it in a soft pouch or jewelry box keeps it scratch‑free and ready to wear. Every piece purchased from Mon Petit Bijou comes in a MPB bag for storing.

💛 A Note About Hammered Aluminum

Your hammered textures will stay crisp and beautiful with normal wear. If the surface ever looks cloudy, a quick wipe with a polishing cloth brings back the glow.
