How to Care for Your Jewelry
We craft our pieces from stainless steel, gold-plated brass, and sterling silver. Our gold combinations are plated with a thick layer of 18Kt or 14Kt gold. While these materials are designed to last, please note that over time, the plating may wear off. This is a normal occurrence and not a reason for concern. To keep your jewelry looking its best and prolong the life of your pieces, please follow these care tips:
-
Avoid Exposure:
- Please remember to keep your jewelry away from water, salt, chlorine, direct sunlight, and other harsh chemicals, especially if your pieces feature freshwater pearls. Avoid spraying perfume directly onto your jewelry.
- Remove your pieces before sleeping, showering, or engaging in sweaty activities.
-
Cleaning:
- Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals; instead, opt for mild dish soap when necessary.
- For tarnished gold-plated brass or sterling silver, you can restore shine by soaking the piece in a mixture of lemon juice extract and baking soda in water for 15-20 minutes, then rinsing it off. Alternatively, brushing it gently with toothpaste can help.
-
Special Care for Specific Materials:
- If your piece includes glass, stones, or pearls, protect them from extreme temperatures and avoid constant banging.
- For jewelry with gold-plated hardware, keep it away from substances like chlorine, lotions, and perfumes, as they can affect the shine and color.
-
Post-Use Maintenance:
- If you wear your jewelry in the sea, rinse it with fresh water and dry it off promptly.
- Store your pieces flat, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent damage.
-
Allergic Reactions:
- We strive to create anti-allergy jewelry by using nickel-free brass and silver findings. However, everyone’s skin is different. If you have highly sensitive skin, please consider this when making a purchase.
Note on Handmade Items
As each piece is handmade, slight variations in size and color may occur, adding to the unique charm of our products. We reserve the right to make minor design changes, adjust dimensions, and modify materials as necessary without prior notice.
