Jewelry care made easy: How to keep children's jewelry beautiful for a long time

Why proper jewelry care is so important

Children's jewelry accompanies little ones in their everyday lives – while playing, romping, and exploring. Proper care is essential to ensure that the jewelry not only remains beautiful but also safe and hypoallergenic .
Especially with children's earrings, attention must be paid to hygiene in order to avoid allergic reactions and skin irritations.

Funkelino tip:
At Funkelino, every piece of jewelry arrives hygienically packaged with a hygiene seal . You can therefore be sure: our jewelry has never been worn before , because we handle all returns in-house , guaranteeing the highest hygiene standards – something many other manufacturers don't offer.

1. Basic rules for jewelry care for children

To keep children's jewelry looking beautiful for a long time, you should follow these basic rules:

  • Clean regularly: Children's earrings in particular should be kept hygienically clean.
  • Store correctly: Every material needs proper storage.
  • Remove jewelry while playing: Heavy stress can damage it.
  • Avoid contact with chemicals: Perfume, chlorine and hairspray can damage jewelry.

2. Cleaning tips for children's jewelry

A. Mechanical cleaning – Quick & easy

Mechanical cleaning removes surface dirt and skin residue .

Here's how:

  • Use a soft microfiber cloth or special jewelry cleaning cloths (you can find these in our accessories section).
  • Gently wipe the jewelry – especially the areas that come into direct contact with the skin.
  • Regularly wipe children's earrings with a clean cloth to remove impurities.

Funkelino tip:
Our Funkelino cleaning wipes are ideal for daily care – they clean gently without damaging the surface.

B. Chemical cleaning – For hygienic deep cleaning

For a more thorough cleaning, we recommend a mild chemical treatment to kill germs.

Here's how it works:

  • Mild soapy water: Briefly soak the jewelry in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Then dry it with a soft cloth.
  • Alcoholic disinfectant: Perfect for earrings – reliably kills germs.
  • Baking soda paste for silver: Silver can be gently polished with a paste made of baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly afterwards and dry.

Funkelino tip:
In the Funkelino accessories range you will find disinfectants that are perfectly suited to children's jewelry – gentle on the skin and tough on germs .

Home remedy tips:

  • Toothpaste: Suitable for silver – apply a small amount, rub in gently, rinse and dry.
  • Baking soda & vinegar: For deep cleaning – place jewelry in a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, let it soak in briefly, rinse and dry.
  • Mild soap & water: Ideal for quick, daily cleaning.

Funkelino tip:
Do not use harsh cleaning agents – these can damage the surface and impair the hypoallergenic properties. Instead, use our specially developed Funkelino cleaning products .

5. Special care for sensitive children's ears

Caring for your ear piercings is just as important as cleaning the jewelry itself. Hygiene is especially crucial after getting your ears pierced to prevent infections.

Care instructions for ear piercings:

  • Clean daily with a mild disinfectant (you can find it at Funkelino ).
