Jewelry Care Guide
General Care
-
Store in a cool, dry place—ideally in a pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches and tarnish.
-
Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising.
-
Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear to keep your jewelry looking new.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals, chlorine, bleach, abrasive cleaners, and saltwater.
Sterling Silver
-
Gently clean with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
-
Clean with a silver polishing cloth or mild jewelry cleaner made for sterling silver to maintain shine.
-
For deeper cleaning, mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water, soak for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth.
-
Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity.
-
Consider using anti-tarnish strips in your jewelry box.
-
Sterling silver may naturally tarnish over time - this is normal. To avoid this, keep pieces in individual airtight bags or anti-tarnish pouches.
Gold-Plated Sterling Silver
-
Gold plating is delicate and should be handled with care.
-
Apply perfumes, lotions, and hair products before putting on your jewelry.
-
Wipe gently only with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.
-
Never use silver polishing cloths or chemical cleaners as these can remove the gold layer.
-
Do not soak in water or cleaning solutions.
-
Store separately from other pieces to prevent scratches and preserve the finish.
Jewelry with Stones
-
Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water, dip a soft brush or cloth, and gently clean the metal and stones, avoiding harsh rubbing.
-
Rinse the jewelry in another bowl of clean water, and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- For gold-plated pieces with stones, avoid abrasive polishing cloths or harsh chemicals, buff gently with a soft fabric, and clean only occasionally.
