Aluminum
Aluminum is a common chemical element. It is extremely resistant to corrosion and is very lightweight, qualities that make it perfect for jewelry, especially jewelry that will be worn often. Aluminum is considered a "base metal", which differentiates it from precious metals like gold or silver . It's much cheaper than its precious metal counterparts and is also much, much lighter. Aluminum comes in a variety of attractive colors, which makes it perfect for coordinating with specific outfits or occasions. This color does not go all of the way through the ring; it is only a surface treatment and even a relatively shallow scratch can reveal the silvery aluminum color beneath the dye. Because aluminum is so much cheaper than silver or gold, you won't have to go broke to satisfy your jewelry cravings.
Cleaning Aluminum
We suggest that you use the mildest cleaning method available, which is warm water.
Warm Water
The safest way to clean your aluminum jewelry is by rinsing it under warm water and then drying with a cloth. You could add a mild detergent for a deeper cleaning if necessary. Any scrubbing should be done with a soft-bristle toothbrush. Avoid cleaning pads or abrasives as they will scratch the surface and ruin the aluminum's dye layer.
Storing Your Aluminum
As with most jewelry you should store your aluminum jewelry in a place where it will avoid being scratched by other objects like watches, keys and the like. This will keep your piece looking shiny and scratch-free.
Traveling With Your Aluminum Jewelry
Pack your aluminum jewelry carefully when traveling. There are many types of jewelry traveling carryalls on the market. They come in all sizes, shapes and patterns and most have velvet linings inside to attach pins and earrings, and compartments to place your bracelets and necklaces.
