Tips and Tricks
Always remove your jewelry before going to bed. Your jewelry should be the last item you put on in the morning and the first item you take off before going to bed. Always avoid water, including dishwashing, (excessive) sweat, swimming pools, and jacuzzis when wearing your jewelry. Also avoid hand gel, lotions, perfume, or cleaning products. Because the jewelry is unique and special, it's important to store your jewelry separately from each other to prevent scratches.
Metals
- Preferably store your jewelry in a box or pouch with soft lining so they don't rub against each other and scratch
- Avoid direct exposure to chemicals found in perfume, hairspray, makeup, nail polish remover, body oils, sunscreen, and deodorant
- Avoid very humid environments and high temperatures
- Occasionally clean your jewelry carefully with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to maintain the shine
- Over time, sterling silver will naturally darken (oxidation) from contact with oxygen; this is not a defect in the metal and can usually be removed with careful cleaning
- While sterling silver is strong, it can be scratch-sensitive if not handled with care
- Your 14K gold jewelry that is not plated can be stored in the box they arrive in, or otherwise should be kept in a safe, dry place when not being worn
- Due to the nature of the soft and malleable gold metal type, you should handle your gold jewelry carefully to prevent scratches
Gemstones and Pearls
We do everything we can to source our gemstones in a responsible and ethical manner.
- Avoid direct exposure to chemicals found in perfume, hairspray, makeup, nail polish remover, body oils, sunscreen, and deodorant
- When storing your gemstone jewelry, ensure they don't bump or rub against each other
- Gently clean your gemstone and its setting with a soft cloth to restore the shine
Cord and Leather
A selection of our jewelry is made from durable and colorfast cord or leather, combined with your favorite hand-engraved charm.
- Jewelry with cord or leather can be worn at all times, but wearing it in the shower and regular contact with water can significantly shorten their lifespan.
