Jewelry Care
While our stainless steel jewelry is designed to be tarnish-free and last you a long time, like any piece of jewelry, here are some tips to maintain its luster and prolong the longevity of the metal.
Regular Cleaning: Stainless steel jewelry can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently clean the surface. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the steel.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your stainless steel jewelry away from harsh chemicals, such as bleach, chlorine, and ammonia. These can cause discoloration and damage to the metal.
Avoid Scratches: While stainless steel is durable, it can still scratch. Store your jewelry in a separate compartment or pouch to prevent it from coming into contact with other items that could cause scratches.
Polishing: Stainless steel has a natural shine, but you can enhance it by polishing with a microfiber or jewelry polishing cloth. This will help remove any fingerprints or smudges.
Avoid Water Exposure (optional): While stainless steel is resistant to water, prolonged exposure to water or moisture can lead to discolouration. You can still wear your jewelry while swimming and/or showering, however, if you want your jewelry to last a lifetime, limit how much exposure it has to water-related activities.
While our sterling silver jewelry is meant to be worn daily, improper use of it or incorrect storage of the jewelry can cause tarnish. Here are tips to maintain the luster and longevity of this fine metal.
Wear Your Jewelry Frequently: Sterling silver looks best when it's worn regularly. The natural oils in your skin help prevent tarnish.
Proper Storage: Store sterling silver jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use our microfiber pouches or storage boxes that your jewelry came in to protect the jewelry from tarnishing. If you have neither of those, use anti-tarnish strips or airtight containers to slow down the tarnishing process.
Avoid Exposure to Chemicals: Keep your silver jewelry away from chemicals like perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays. These substances can accelerate tarnishing. Tip: wear your jewelry as the last part of getting dressed.
Gentle Cleaning: Clean your sterling silver jewelry with a mild soap and water solution. Use a soft cloth or a silver polishing cloth to gently buff away tarnish. For intricate pieces, you can use a soft brush to get into small crevices.
Professional Cleaning: If your sterling silver jewelry has extensive tarnish, consider taking it to a professional jeweler for cleaning. They can also check for any loose stones or other issues.
Avoid Abrasives: Avoid using abrasive materials or brushes that can scratch the silver. Opt for soft materials like microfiber cloths.
By following these care tips, you can keep your stainless steel and sterling silver jewelry looking beautiful for years to come. Remember that proper maintenance and regular cleaning are key to preserving the shine and longevity of your jewelry.
