Product Care Guide

General Golden Rules:

  • Last On, First Off: Put jewelry on after applying perfume, hairspray, makeup, and skincare products. Take it off first when you get home.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Keep away from perfume, lotions, soap, shampoo, detergents, and chlorine (e.g., pool water, bleach).

  • Prevent Physical Damage: Remove jewelry during sports, exercise, housework, or sleep to avoid scratches, impact, or deformation.

  • Store Separately: Keep each piece in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratching from friction with other items.

Material-Specific Care:

Material Characteristics & Care Tips
Gold/Silver Plated Most common. Plating wears over time.
• Keep dry: Dry thoroughly after swimming, showering, or sweating.
• Gently wipe: Clean with a soft microfiber cloth to remove oils and fingerprints.
• Avoid friction: Prevent contact with hard surfaces.
925 Sterling Silver Tarnishes black due to oxidation from sulfur in the air—this is natural.
• Wear often: Body oils help maintain its shine.
• Use silver polish or cloth: Quickly restores brightness. (Note: Avoid silver dip on plated items—it can damage the coating).
• Store sealed: Place in a sealed bag when not worn to reduce air exposure.
Brass/Copper Naturally develops a vintage patina over time.
• To maintain shine: Clean with lemon juice and salt or baking soda, then dry thoroughly.
• To prevent tarnish: Apply clear nail polish as a sealant (on non-skin-contact areas only).
Natural Gemstones/Pearls Delicate—handle with extra care.
• Avoid immersion: Porous materials (e.g., pearls, turquoise) should not be soaked or exposed to heat.
• Avoid impact: Many gems are soft and can crack easily.
• Avoid chemicals: They can permanently damage luster and color.
Leather Jewelry • Avoid water: Moisture can stiffen or deform leather.
• Avoid sun exposure: Sunlight can cause fading and cracking.

Cleaning Tips:

  • Gentle cleaning: For most jewelry, gently brush with a soft-bristled brush (e.g., a soft toothbrush) in warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

  • Use cleaners cautiously: Avoid commercial jewelry cleaners unless specified—especially for plated items, pearls, and organic gems.
