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.
