Jewelry Care Instructions

Although some metals are durable and resistant to tarnish it's always a good practice to remove jewelry before swimming, showering, exercising, or engaging in any activities that may expose it to harsh conditions. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help prolong the lifespan and appearance of your jewelry.

Stainless Steel:

• Stainless steel jewelry is durable and resistant to tarnish, but it can still accumulate dirt and grime over time. To clean stainless steel jewelry, you can use mild soap and water, and gently scrub with a soft cloth or brush.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may scratch or damage the stainless steel surface.
• Store stainless steel jewelry separately to prevent scratching or tangling with other jewelry pieces.

Gold-plated:

• Gold-plated jewelry has a thin layer of gold over another metal, so it requires delicate care to prevent the gold layer from wearing off.
• Avoid exposing gold-plated jewelry to water, chemicals, or harsh cleaning agents, as they may cause the gold layer to fade or peel.
• Clean gold-plated jewelry with a soft cloth or a mild jewelry cleaning solution, and avoid using abrasive materials or brushes that may scratch the gold layer.
• Store gold-plated jewelry in a dry, separate compartment or pouch to prevent scratching or rubbing against other jewelry pieces.

 Sterling Silver:

• Sterling silver jewelry can tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. To clean sterling silver jewelry, you can use a silver polishing cloth or a silver cleaning solution specifically designed for jewelry, following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may scratch or damage the sterling silver surface.
• Store sterling silver jewelry in a dry, airtight container or a tarnish-resistant jewelry box to slow down tarnish formation.

 Alloy:

• Alloy jewelry may consist of different metals combined together, so it's important to check for any specific care instructions from the manufacturer.
• In general, alloy jewelry can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and dried thoroughly to prevent moisture from causing tarnish or discoloration.
• Avoid exposing alloy jewelry to harsh chemicals, as they may cause damage or discoloration.

 Copper:

• Copper jewelry tends to darken or develop a patina over time due to oxidation, which is a natural process. To clean copper jewelry, you can use lemon juice or vinegar mixed with water to gently remove tarnish, and then rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
• You can also use a copper cleaning solution specifically designed for jewelry, following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may scratch or damage the copper surface.
