- Try to avoid contact with water, especially swimming pools, as it can reduce the lifespan of your jewelry. If you accidentally wear your jewelry in the shower, don't worry, simply dry the jewelry with a cloth to remove all moisture.
- Be cautious and avoid exposure to perfumes, hair products, lotions, soaps, oils, and household chemicals.
- Always remove your jewelry before exercising or cleaning.
Sterling Silver:
- Clean sterling silver with a sterling silver polishing cloth. Avoid chlorine water and refrain from rubbing with paper products, as they can scratch the silver.
- Store your pieces in a cool, dry place away from light and air to prevent excess tarnishing.
- We recommend using a sterling silver-specific liquid jewelry cleaner. However, for pieces containing stones, pearls, and crystals, stick to using the polishing cloth to prevent damage to some stones.
Gold Plated Sterling Silver:
- Always separate gold plated jewelry from other pieces to prevent scratching.
- Remove gold plated jewelry before showering or cleaning, and gently polish using a yellow gold-specific polishing cloth.
Caring for Plated Jewelry:
- Plated jewelry is delicate and requires special care.
- Scented products like perfumes, colognes, and lotions contain chemicals that can react with plating, leading to discoloration or fading.
- Body chemistry and moisture can also affect plated jewelry, especially if you have a high skin pH balance.
- Avoid wearing plated jewelry during water-related activities, such as showering, swimming, or at the beach, as chlorine and salt water can affect the plating.
- Store plated jewelry in a dry area when not in use to prevent damage.
- Protect plated jewelry from friction or contact with hard surfaces to avoid scratches and wear.
- Clean plated items with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap if necessary. Gently pat dry with a clean cotton or microfiber cloth.
- Avoid using most jewelry cleaners, as they contain chemicals that can wear and fade the plating over time.
