Jewelry Care

Sterling silver 925 

Silver jewelry is beautiful, durable, and easy to maintain with proper care:

  • Wear Often: The best way to keep silver jewelry clean is by wearing it regularly.
  • Cleaning: Sterling silver does eventually tarnish with age and exposure to various elements. For heavy tarnishing, gently buff your piece with a paste made from baking soda, water, and dish soap using a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
  • Storage: Store your jewelry in its box, in a dry place, and separate from other jewelry to avoid scratches.
  • Avoid Chemicals: Keep your silver away from chemicals, perfume, hairspray, and deodorant. Remove it while cleaning or swimming.

Raw Bronze (Brass)

Bronze is a durable metal with a warm golden hue, made from copper and tin. Proper care ensures its lasting beauty:

  • Oxidation: Bronze may develop a green tint on skin due to copper reacting with oils. This is harmless, easily washed off, and varies by individual. Tight rings in hot weather may cause this more often. To reduce this, keep your jewelry clean or apply a sealant like clear nail polish or wax.
  • Durability: Remove bronze jewelry before swimming, bathing, chores, or applying beauty products to prevent tarnish and wear.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
  • Cleaning: To restore shine, try:
    • A paste of lemon juice and baking soda—apply, let sit, then rinse.
    • Soaking in vinegar for an hour, then scrubbing gently.

 

Gold plated jewelry

Gold-plated jewelry is elegant and long-lasting with proper care:

  • Avoid Chemicals: Always avoid direct contact with chemicals, lotions, and perfumes. Put your jewelry on last when getting dressed and remove it before working with rough materials or washing your hands.
  • Durability: Our rings feature double gold plating, making them more durable over time. However, please note that gold plating is a semi-permanent finish and will slowly wear off with time to reveal the silver underneath.
  • Cleaning: To maintain its shine, avoid using silver polishing cloths, as they contain abrasive chemicals. Instead, use a dry, soft cloth and gently buff if needed.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, and separate from other jewelry to prevent scratches.
