jewellery care

GENERAL CARE 

Remove jewelry when bathing, exercising, sleeping, or cleaning. Always avoid excess moisture, and remember to store your pieces properly (preferably in an airtight container, not next to the sink or bathtub - we struggle with that too!) when you aren't wearing them. It is normal for metal to oxidize (or change colour) with time and exposure to the elements, but contact with liquid or other substances can expedite this process.

 

STERLING SILVER

Gently polish with a jewelry polishing cloth to bring sterling silver pieces back to their original state of lustre.

 

GOLD VERMEIL, RHODIUM AND 22K GOLD PLATED

Gently clean with mild dish soap and a soft brush but please do not polish! Gold vermeil is a thick gold plating that can actually be removed with polishing. Once completely dry, store your pieces in an airtight container, such as a ziplock bag, to avoid oxidization.

 

PEARLS

Wipe with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid exposure to moisture. Pearls are very soft and can be subject to scratching. We highly recommend putting on pearls after applying hairspray, perfume, or other cosmetics, as they are especially sensitive to chemical contact.
