✨ General Care Tips

  • Remove before water: Take off your jewelry before swimming, showering, or washing hands to prevent tarnishing and damage.
  • Avoid chemicals: Keep jewelry away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, and cleaning products. Apply these products first and let them dry before putting on your jewelry.
  • Store properly: Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratching. Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • Remove during activity: Take off jewelry before exercising, sleeping, or doing household chores.

🥇 Gold-Plated Jewelry Care

  • Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
  • Avoid abrasive cloths or polishing chemicals that can wear away the gold plating.
  • Store in an airtight bag or jewelry box to slow tarnishing.

🥈 Sterling Silver (925) Jewelry Care

  • Polish with a silver polishing cloth to restore shine when tarnishing occurs — this is completely normal.
  • Store in an anti-tarnish pouch or airtight container when not wearing.
  • Clean with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush, then dry thoroughly.

⚙️ Stainless Steel Jewelry Care

  • Stainless steel is durable and tarnish-resistant, but gold-plated stainless pieces keep their color longest when kept away from water, sweat, and chemicals.
  • Wipe with a soft, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
  • If you have a severe nickel allergy, note that stainless steel contains a small amount of nickel.

🟤 Brass, Copper & Alloy Jewelry Care

  • Plated brass, copper, and zinc alloy pieces are the most sensitive to moisture — remove them before washing hands, showering, swimming, or working out.
  • Bare copper naturally develops a patina and may leave temporary green marks on skin. A soft polishing cloth restores its shine.
  • Store in an airtight bag or box to slow tarnishing, and never polish plated pieces with abrasive cloths.

💎 Zirconia & Gemstone Care

  • Clean with a soft toothbrush, mild soap, and warm water to keep stones sparkling.
  • Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless specified as safe for your piece.
  • Inspect settings periodically to ensure stones are secure.

🧴 Cleaning Your Jewelry

For sterling silver, stainless steel, and stone pieces. For plated brass, copper, or alloy pieces, skip soaking — just wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.

  1. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water.
  2. Soak the jewelry for 5–10 minutes.
  3. Gently scrub with a soft-bristle toothbrush.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  5. Pat dry with a soft cloth and allow to air dry completely before storing.
