Jewelry Care
SOLID GOLD, STERLING SILVER, TUNGSTEN CARBIDE, OR PLATINUM JEWELRY
General Care
Your jewelry is crafted to endure the demands of daily life, but it is still composed of precious metals and delicate stones. Although our solid gold, sterling silver, and platinum pieces are durable enough for everyday wear, it’s important to limit exposure to cleaning agents, beauty products, water, and chemicals.
Cleaning Instructions
- Prepare a solution of warm water and a few drops of detergent-free soap.
- Soak one piece of jewelry at a time and use a very soft brush to gently clean it.
- Rinse carefully—avoid letting it slip down the drain.
- Pat the jewelry dry with a lint-free polishing cloth.
Storage Recommendations
Store your jewelry in a dry place to avoid exposure to air and moisture. While it’s important to protect your jewelry, remember it’s meant to be worn and enjoyed regularly.
General Care
Vermeil jewelry, which features a layer of gold over sterling silver, requires special attention to maintain its beauty. To keep your vermeil jewelry looking its best, follow these care instructions.
Cleaning Instructions
- Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix a few drops of mild, detergent-free soap with lukewarm water.
- Clean Gently: Soak your jewelry briefly, then use a soft, non-abrasive cloth or brush to clean it gently. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the gold layer.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. Dry your jewelry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Storage Recommendations
- Avoid Moisture: Store your vermeil jewelry in a dry place to prevent exposure to moisture, which can lead to tarnishing.
- Protect from Chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals, including perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products.
- Use Proper Storage: Store each piece separately in a soft cloth pouch or anti-tarnish jewelry box to minimize scratching and tarnishing.
Additional Tips
- Remove Before Activities: Take off your vermeil jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in strenuous activities to extend its lifespan.
- Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean your jewelry to maintain its shine and prevent buildup.
Please Note: Plated jewelry naturally fades with wear over time. If this is a concern, we recommend considering solid gold, platinum, or sterling silver options for longer-lasting durability.
