Jewelry Care

Sterling Silver

Use a soft polishing cloth to buff away dirt and bring back shine. To store, use an airtight container.
Sterling silver is a great choice for low maintenance jewelry wearers. Pieces can be worn all the time and are safe to shower and swim with. Tarnish happens as a result of silver jewelry being exposed to oxygen and sulfur particles in the air. 

 

Oxidized Sterling Silver

Use a solution of water and a mild dish soap, gently rub the jewelry between your fingers and pat try with soft, non abrasive cloth.
It's best to remove your oxidized silver jewelry when showering or washing your hands to prolong the dark color, only cleaning when necessary. Oxidized silver does wear off over time as a result of natural day-to-day wear and tear.

 

Bronze

Use a soft polishing cloth to buff away dirt and bring back shine.
While bronze can get wet and should be washed intermittently in warm water to remove any dirt build up, avoid wearing your bronze jewelry in when swimming in chlorinated pools or salt water.

 

Brass

Warm water is all you need to clean your cast brass jewelry pieces. Lay them flat on a towel after scrubbing and dry overnight before polishing them to reduce any spots.
Brass jewelry should be removed while swimming, showering, or using any oils or harsh chemicals. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. 

 

Gold Plated

Use a soft polishing cloth to remove dirt or scratches.
You can wear gold plated jewelry everyday. However, it is not recommended to shower with as the water will cause the gold plating to fade over time.

 

Gold Vermeil

With a soft, dry, clean polishing cloth, rub the piece in one direction to wipe away dirt.
Store your gold vermeil jewelry preferably in its own jewelry pouch, not with other pieces of jewelry. You also want to keep your vermeil dry, removing it before working out, showering, or swimming.

 

Gold

With a soft, dry, clean polishing cloth, rub the piece in one direction to wipe away dirt.
Solid gold will not oxidize or discolor, which makes it the perfect low maintenance metal for everyday wear.

 

Leather

To keep leather supple, use a specialized leather conditioner every 3-6 months, blot away water or moisture as soon as possible, and let it dry naturally.
Leather jewelry is not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. However, we recommend avoiding getting leather jewelry wet if possible.
