Jewelry Care Guide

How to Wear

Being mindful of how you wear your jewelry can greatly extend its lifespan. Always take off your jewelry before engaging in activities that could cause damage. Make it a habit to put your jewelry on last when getting ready and take it off first when you return home. This simple routine helps keep your pieces in great condition for longer.

How to Store

To protect your jewelry when it's not being worn, always keep it in a safe, dry place away from everyday exposure. Store each piece separately to avoid scratches or damage, and ensure they are fully dry before putting them away. Metals like vermeil and sterling silver can tarnish, so we recommend storing your jewelry in a jewelry box or pouch lined with anti-tarnish fabric to make care and cleaning easier.

How to Clean

Regular upkeep is the simplest way to keep your jewelry looking its best. Clean your pieces regularly to prevent buildup that can dull their shine. Use a polishing cloth to gently buff your jewelry until marks or discoloration are gone.

If using a jewelry care kit, spray the cleaner onto the piece, use a brush to remove dirt from intricate areas, then dry with a soft cloth. Finish by polishing with the provided cloth. Always ensure your jewelry is completely dry before storing it.

Sterling Silver Care Tips

925 sterling silver is made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper.

Sterling silver tarnishes due to a chemical reaction with oxygen and sulfur particles in the air. While tarnish is normal, it can be easily managed with proper care, helping your jewelry maintain its shine.

To slow down tarnishing, wear your jewelry often and avoid exposing it to chemicals like household cleaners, lotions, and perfumes. Also, keep your pieces out of direct sunlight and remove them before swimming or doing chores.

For gentle cleaning, soap and water is your go-to method. For heavier tarnish, try using a mix of baking soda and water or a soak in white vinegar and baking soda. Always finish by polishing your pieces with a silver-specific cloth to restore their shine.

Gold Vermeil Care Tips

Gold vermeil is a thick layer of 18k solid gold bonded to sterling silver, offering a more durable and luxurious feel compared to regular gold plating. It gives you the look of solid gold jewelry at a fraction of the price.

Yes, gold vermeil can naturally tarnish when exposed to air pollution, moisture, and other environmental factors. However, with proper care and maintenance, you can easily restore its shine and keep it looking beautiful.

To keep your pieces in their best condition, store them in a dry, safe place such as an anti-tarnish pouch or case.

For regular cleaning, gently wipe your gold vermeil pieces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners, and be careful not to over-polish as it can be abrasive.
