How do I care for my pieces?
Here are some easy steps to help you keep your jewelry looking its best.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals like chlorine, perfume, and household cleaners. These substances can damage the metals and stones.
- Remove Before Activities: It's best to remove your jewelry before engaging in strenuous activities, showering, or swimming.
- Store Properly: When storing your jewelry, place it in the provided suede pouch. This will help prevent scratches and tarnishing.
How to Store:
- Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Place each piece of jewelry in its own individual pouch or compartment to prevent scratches. Gemstones of different grades of hardness tend to scratch each other.
- Avoid storing your jewelry in a pile.
- Use a jewelry box or organizer to keep your jewelry organized and protected.
How do I clean my sterling silver piece?
- Tarnish is Normal: Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. This is a normal process and does not affect the quality of the silver.
- Cleaning: To clean tarnished silver, use a silver polishing cloth. Gently rub the fabric over the tarnished areas until the silver is restored to its original shine. Alternatively, you can use a silver cleaning solution.
Care for your Vintage or Handmade Pieces:
- Handle with Care: these pieces may be more delicate than modern jewelry. Handle them with care to avoid damaging any antique finishes or settings.
- Avoid Excessive Cleaning: Excessive cleaning can damage the pieces. If cleaning is necessary, use a gentle cleaning solution and avoid harsh scrubbing.
Care for your Stainless Steel Pieces:
- Clean Regularly: Wipe with a soft cloth or use mild soap and water; always dry thoroughly.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep away from perfumes, lotions, saltwater, and chlorine to maintain its shine.
By following these simple care tips, you can help ensure that your handmade, sterling silver, and stainless steel jewelry remains beautiful and in excellent condition for years to come.
