Jewelry Care
a little love goes a long way
Solid gold
10kt, 14k and 18k Gold is a solid metal but still delicate in nature. While this material can last a lifetime, solid gold does require gentle care and occasional polishing. You can use either a soft microfiber cloth or a jewelry polishing cloth to polish your pieces to revive that shine.
14k Gold Vermeil
Gold Vermeil is a material with a Sterling Silver base plated with thick layers of 14k Gold. To keep your jewelry looking like new for as long as possible, remove when in contact with water, lotions, perfumes, sanitizers and/or exposure to sweat. Do not use any cleaning solutions on your pieces. Instead, use a soft microfibre cloth to wipe them down to remove any excess oils from your skin.
Sterling Silver and Rhodium Plated
Sterling Silver is a solid metal and thus requires minimal care. It may darken over time but you can easily polish your pieces back to its original shine! Use a jewelry polishing cloth to gently polish your pieces to achieve that mirror finish. Rhodium is a silvery-white solid metal that belongs to the platinum family and has a highly reflective surface. To care for your Rhodium plated pieces, use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe them down to remove any excess oils from your skin.
Stones, Gems & Pearls
Avoid sleeping, showering and exercising with your pieces as exposure to water and sweat can cause these gemstones to wear over time. Avoid exposing your stones to chemicals such as hairsprays, lotions or perfumes. Temperature changes can cause gemstones to change colour over time. Avoid storing or placing your pieces where there is direct sunlight or high air moisture such as bathrooms as it can impact the stone’s colours and durability. Direct sunlight can cause stones to fade, and heat can cause stones to crack over time.
To clean and polish your pieces, use a soft microfibre cloth to wipe them down after each wear. Alternatively, you can use a jewelry polishing cloth as well. Avoid using liquid cleaners as they can be too abrasive on gemstones. If needed, most stones respond well to a mild hand soap and warm water for cleaning. Ensure to gently pat dry.
Store your pieces in individual bags as this will minimize oxidization when not in use. It's best to store them in a dry and dark place such as a in a jewelry box or in your closet.
Avoid storing your gemstone pieces with other similar gemstone jewelry as they can leave scratches or knock against each other, which may potentially damage your pieces.
