Product Care

Jewelry care by Metal
General Jewelry Care Tips:
  1. Avoid exposure to chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, and cleaning products, as they can damage or discolor metals and gemstones.
  2. Remove before activities: Take off your jewelry before engaging in activities like swimming, exercising, or household chores to prevent damage or loss.
  3. Store properly: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in individual pouches or compartments to prevent scratching and tangling.
  4. Regular cleaning: Clean your jewelry regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, oils, and fingerprints. For more thorough cleaning, follow metal-specific instructions below.

Sterling Silver Jewelry Care:
  1. Regular Cleaning: Clean sterling silver regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove tarnish, oils, and dirt.
  2. Mild Soap Solution: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution (mild dish soap diluted in warm water) and a soft brush. Gently scrub the silver, rinse, and pat dry.
    Polishing: Use a silver polishing cloth or a gentle silver cleaner to restore shine. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.
  3. Anti-Tarnish Storage: Store sterling silver in anti-tarnish pouches or with anti-tarnish strips to slow down tarnishing. Keep it in a cool, dry place.
  4. Avoid Chemicals: Remove sterling silver jewelry before using household cleaners, swimming, or exposing it to perfumes and lotions, as these can accelerate tarnishing.
Stainless Steel Jewelry Care:
  1. Basic Cleaning: Wipe stainless steel jewelry with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and everyday dirt.
  2. Mild Soap and Water: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution (dish soap diluted in warm water) and a soft brush. Rinse and pat dry.
  3. Avoid Scratches: While stainless steel is durable, it can still scratch. Store each piece separately or wrap it in a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep stainless steel jewelry away from harsh chemicals and abrasives to maintain its shine.

Plated Metal Jewelry Care (Gold/Silver/Copper Plated):
  1. Gentle Cleaning: Clean plated jewelry with a soft, damp cloth to remove light dirt and oils.
  2. Mild Soapy Water: If needed, use a mild soap solution (mild dish soap diluted in warm water) to clean the plated surface. Avoid abrasive materials.
  3. Pat Dry: After cleaning, pat the jewelry dry with a soft cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously to prevent the plated layer from wearing off.
  4. Avoid Moisture: Remove plated jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in activities that expose it to moisture, as prolonged exposure can cause the plating to degrade.
  5. Limited Polishing: Limit the use of polishing cloths, as excessive polishing can wear down the plated layer. Instead, focus on gentle cleaning.
Remember, plated jewelry requires extra care as the plated layer can wear off over time. If the plating starts to fade, it may need to be re-plated by a professional jeweler. Always follow any specific care instructions provided by the jeweler or manufacturer for your plated jewelry.

​
Copper Jewelry
Copper jewelry has a tendency to oxidize and may cause skin discoloration, turning it green. However, with proper care, you can minimize these effects and keep your copper jewelry looking beautiful.  Our jewelry is coated with a clear protective layer to protect your skin from discoloring and the patina applied.  

  1. Gentle Cleaning:
    • Clean copper jewelry regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, oils, and sweat.
    • Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.
  2. Mild Soap Solution:
    • If your copper jewelry needs a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution (mix mild dish soap with lukewarm water).
    • Gently scrub the jewelry with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry.


Preventing Skin Discoloration (from copper jewelry) 
If your clear coat layer should wear off here are suggestions.
  1. Clear Nail Polish Barrier:
    • Apply a thin layer of clear nail polish to the inside of the copper jewelry, forming a barrier between the metal and your skin.
  2. Wax Coating:
    • Apply a thin layer of beeswax or clear jewelry wax to the copper surface. This creates a protective barrier and slows down the oxidation process.
  3. Avoid Moisture:
    • Remove copper jewelry before showering, swimming, or any activity that exposes it to moisture, as water can speed up the oxidation process.
  4. Keep Dry:
    • Dry your jewelry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent any residual moisture from affecting the metal.
  5. Limit Contact with Skin:
    • If you're prone to skin discoloration, consider wearing copper jewelry over clothing or placing a barrier (like a fabric patch) between the jewelry and your skin.
  6. Rotate Jewelry:
    • Avoid wearing copper jewelry every day to give your skin a break and reduce the likelihood of discoloration.
  7. Regular Maintenance:
    • Stay proactive with regular cleaning and maintenance to remove any accumulated oils and prevent tarnish buildup.

Remember that some level of patina or tarnish is natural for copper and can add character to the piece. If you prefer the shiny look, you can always polish it to maintain the original finish. By incorporating these care tips, you can enjoy your copper jewelry without worrying about skin discoloration.

Vintage Jewelry Care
Cleaning and caring for vintage and antique jewelry without submerging it in water requires a gentle approach to avoid damaging delicate components.

Cleaning:
  1. Soft Brush or Cloth: Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dust, dirt, and oils. For intricate details, use a soft brush (such as a makeup brush or a soft toothbrush) to reach crevices without the need for submersion.
  2. Mild Soap Solution: If additional cleaning is necessary, create a mild soap solution using a gentle dish soap and lukewarm water. Dip the soft brush or cloth into the solution, and carefully clean by dabbing the jewelry. Be cautious around any areas with glued components or delicate settings. Wipe away soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. DO NOT SATURATE OR SUBMERGE OR SOAK. 
  3. Q-Tips for Detailing: Use Q-tips dipped in the mild soap solution for detailed cleaning in hard-to-reach areas. Be gentle and avoid applying excessive pressure. DO NOT SATURATE OR SUBMERGE OR SOAK
  4. Avoid Submersion: Refrain from fully submerging vintage and antique jewelry, especially if it contains porous materials, delicate gemstones, or components that may be damaged by water.
Caring:
  1. Limited Exposure: Vintage jewelry is often more fragile due to its age. Limit exposure to harsh elements such as sunlight, extreme temperatures, and chemicals.
  2. Store Properly: Store vintage and antique jewelry in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Use individual compartments or pouches to prevent pieces from scratching each other.
  3. Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the settings, clasps, and overall condition of the jewelry. Look for signs of wear, loose stones, or any areas that may need attention.
  4. Avoid Ultrasonic Cleaners: Refrain from using ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaners, as they can be too harsh for vintage pieces and may cause damage.
  5. Professional Appraisal: Consider getting a professional appraisal for insurance purposes, especially if the vintage or antique jewelry has significant value.
  6. Jeweler Consultation: If you're unsure about the best care practices for a specific piece, consult with a jeweler experienced in handling vintage and antique jewelry.
  7. Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaning materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the delicate surfaces of vintage pieces.
By adopting a cautious and gentle approach, you can effectively clean and care for vintage and antique jewelry without the need for submersion in water, preserving the integrity and beauty of these unique pieces. If in doubt, seek professional advice from a jeweler with expertise in handling antique and vintage jewelry.
Costume Jewelry Care
Costume Jewelry:
  1. Keep dry: Avoid exposing costume jewelry to water, as it can cause the metal to tarnish and damage the stones.
  2. Handle with care: Costume jewelry is often more delicate, so handle it gently to prevent breakage or loss of stones.

Remember, plated jewelry requires extra care as the plated layer can wear off over time. If the plating starts to fade, it may need to be re-plated by a professional jeweler. Always follow any specific care instructions provided by the jeweler or manufacturer for your plated jewelry.
