JEWELRY CARE
Show your precious jewelry some love with these tips...
STAINLESS STEEL
All of our Stainless Steel pieces are lazy girl approved. They will last a long time with minimal care. They are waterproof, sweat and tarnish resistant... but it is expected to see fading or darkening over the months or years. However, if you wish to extend the life (and shine) of the gold plating it is highly recommended that you avoid contact with harsh chemicals and sweat as these may contribute to fading and/or staining. Try not to scratch your pieces as this too will contribute to the wearing of the delicate gold layering. Again, it is expected for Stainless Steel pieces to develop a deeper gold color overtime... if anyone says otherwise, they're not being truthful. But I got you with ALL your need to know, bestie!
925 STERLING SILVER / GOLD PLATE
The life of the all 925 Sterling Silver pieces will depend on several factors, including moisture and your own body PH. 925 Sterling Silver pieces are demi-fine and require some love. They should be kept dry and away from alcohol based products, sweat, moisture and chemicals. To avoid scratching, keep the piece in its original pouch. Use the anti-tarnish cloth provided to remove any build up and/or residue that may threaten to shorten the life of your piece.
BRAZILIAN GOLD FILLED
Our Brazilian Gold Filled pieces have 100 times more gold plating than the standard gold plated piece of jewelry. However, the gold plate is bonded to a base metal, brass, that will be exposed over time - this is normal with every gold plate 925 sterling silver piece. To increase the lifespan of your piece, it should be kept dry and away from alcohol based products, sweat, moisture and chemicals. To avoid scratching, keep the piece in its original pouch. Use the anti-tarnish cloth provided to remove any build up and/or residue from your piece.
