Product Care
GENERAL CARE
- Avoid Water and Chemicals: Keep jewelry away from water, perfumes, lotions, hair products, and household chemicals, which can cause tarnish or discoloration.
- Store Properly: Use the provided silk mesh bag or box to store jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from light and humidity. Separating each piece prevents scratches and tangling.
- Clean Regularly: Wipe gently with a silver polish cloth included with your purchase. For a quick refresh, use the 75% alcohol pad provided with your order.
Material-Specific Care
Sterling silver
Sterling silver can develop tarnish over time. Use a dedicated sterling silver polishing cloth to restore its shine, and avoid paper towels or rough materials that could scratch the surface. Avoid exposure to chlorine and saltwater, as these can accelerate tarnishing. Store in a dry place away from direct light.
Gold-Plated Sterling Silver
Gold plating requires careful handling to maintain its color and luster. Avoid wearing gold-plated jewelry in water or when using lotions or perfumes. Clean with a gentle cloth to remove any oils or residue. For best results, store gold-plated pieces separately to avoid scratches from harder materials.
Gold-Filled Sterling Silver
Gold-filled jewelry is more durable than plating, but it’s still important to avoid water, chemicals, and abrasive materials. Clean with a soft, dry cloth and store in a cool, dry space to maintain its natural shine.
Pearls
Pearls are delicate and sensitive to chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperatures. They should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. Avoid direct contact with perfumes and makeup to keep them from losing luster.
- Baroque Pearls: Baroque pearls have unique shapes that add character, but they’re especially sensitive to surface scratches. Handle with care and avoid any abrasive surfaces.
- Keshi Pearls: Known for their irregular shapes, keshi pearls are less processed and may require gentle wiping to keep their natural glow. Avoid exposing them to chemicals, and store in a soft pouch to prevent surface damage.
Natural Gemstones (e.g., Lapis Lazuli, Agate)
Natural gemstones can be sensitive to sunlight and harsh chemicals. Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding all abrasive cleaners or brushes. Store gemstones separately to prevent scratching, and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which may cause some stones to fade.
Storing Your Jewelry
Each piece comes with a linen pouch, which you can use to store your jewelry when it’s not in use. Placing each piece in its pouch protects it from scratches and helps preserve its natural shine. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to keep your jewelry in optimal condition.
