STORING

Properly store your jewelry to maintain its condition. Use the provided pouch and jewelry box to keep pieces scratch-free and secure. Avoid extreme temperatures and moisture. Handle with care when wearing and removing. Don't pile heavy objects on top. Keep them in the original jewelry box for long-lasting beauty.

PLATED JEWELRY & GOLD VERMEIL JEWELRY

• Preserve your plated jewelry by avoiding contact with cleaning agents, beauty products, perfume, water, and chemicals (i.e. chlorine)
• Remove plated jewelry prior to exercise, washing your hands, showering or swimming (pool or hot tub)
• Protect your plated jewelry by storing your items in a dry area in an air-tight case/bag.

To keep your gold-plated or gold vermeil jewelry in good condition, treat it with the tenderness of a cotton cloud or a gentle microfiber hug. Say NO to chemical cleaners, they're not on the guest list! It is natural for gold vermeil jewelry to tarnish with time.

SILVER JEWELRY

• Sterling silver will tarnish naturally over time but can be cleaned very easily. Be sure to clean the silver only and avoid contact with any stones.
• Store each piece in a tightly sealed container. 
• To renew luminosity, clean with mild soap and dry with a soft cotton cloth.
• Sterling silver jewelry can also be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner.
• Please do not clean oxidized sterling silver jewelry.  Attempting to clean oxidized sterling silver jewelry will remove the finish. Over time and with use, the color of oxidized metal may lighten slightly. This is a natural and organic phenomenon that occurs.

BRONZE & BRASS JEWELRY

Brass is a very beautiful alternative to solid gold jewelry, and it is much more affordable. The reason this metal is more affordable, however, is that it is much more reactive to the elements than fine metals, and can tarnish relatively quickly if not cared for properly.  The good news is, as opposed to brass jewelry that has been plated with gold that will eventually wear off, non-plated pieces can be cleaned easily to maintain their beautiful gold luster.

• Try to avoid contact with water and chemicals (bleach, perfume, bug spray, sunscreen, etc).  This will cause your brass jewelry to oxidize faster.
• Store each piece in a plastic zip lock bag or tightly sealed container.  The airtight seal will prevent the oxidation reaction from happening and will slow down tarnishing. Try to squeeze out as much of the extra air as you can.  Bonus points if you include an anti-tarnish strip in the bag. 
• It is recommended to use a polishing cloth to polish the metal. 

PEARLS & GEMS

• Protect your fine jewelry by storing it in a soft cloth bag.
• Natural gemstones can be fragile. Do not use paper towels to clean your gemstones as they can cause scratching. To keep gemstones clean and shiny, lightly scrub with a soft-bristled brush, warm water, and detergent-free soap. 
• Avoid chemicals or excessive temperatures when cleaning. Store in a safe, dry place when not worn to protect them from the elements of daily exposure.
