In this blog we will help you take care of all type of jewelry like: 14K Solid Gold, Diamonds, Enamel etc. Lets get to it!  

14k Solid Gold

Solid gold is a precious metal that will not oxidize or discolor. 14k solid gold is also an active lifestyle's best friend: it scratches less and doesn't bend or wear out as easily as 18k. 

HOW TO CARE FOR 14K GOLD JEWELRY:

  • To maintain the shine of your 14k solid gold piece, scrub it lightly with a soft-bristled brush using warm water and detergent-free soap. 

  • Then, buff gently with a clean cloth. 

  • Store your pieces in a safe, dry place when not worn to protect them from the elements of daily exposure.


Ethically Sourced Diamonds

Diamonds are one of the hardest natural substances found on earth. 

HOW TO CARE FOR OUR DIAMONDS:

  • Use warm water, detergent-free soap and a soft-bristled brush, rinsing the diamond and setting afterward to ensure there is no residue. 

  • Do not use steam or ultrasonic cleaners, as this can cause damage. 

  • Store your diamond jewelry in a safe, dry place when not worn.


18k Gold Vermeil

How do you pronounce that? We've got you: ver-may. Not to be confused with regular gold plating, gold vermeil involves a much thicker layer of gold to give it that much more durability.

HOW TO CARE FOR 18K GOLD VERMEIL JEWELRY:

  • Excess sweat and water? No thank you.

  • Always remove your gold vermeil jewelry before exercising, washing your hands or showering. 

  • Apply perfumes, creams and hair care products before wearing your gold vermeil pieces. 

  • To clean gold vermeil jewelry, buff gently with a dry cloth.

  • You may have noticed a strip of paper, treated with anti-tarnishing agents, in your packaging. When not worn, store your piece in a safe, dry place with the strip included to protect it from the elements of daily exposure.


Freshwater Pearls

HOW TO CARE FOR OUR FRESHWATER PEARLS:

  • Pearls are sensitive so don't forget to treat them with love. 

  • Avoid direct contact with chemicals found in perfume or other cosmetics. 

  • To help do so, make sure they are the last thing you put on before going out and the first thing you take off when you come home.

 

 

Natural Gemstones

HOW TO CARE FOR OUR NATURAL GEMSTONES:

  • To keep gemstones clean and shiny, scrub lightly with a soft-bristled brush, warm water and detergent-free soap. 

  • Avoid chemicals or excessive temperatures when cleaning. 

  • Store in a safe, dry place when not worn to protect them from the elements of daily exposure.

 

 

Sterling Silver

925 Sterling Silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. All of our sterling silver pieces are stamped with “925”.

HOW TO CARE FOR STERLING SILVER JEWELRY:

  • Sterling silver jewelry will oxidize when exposed to the elements, so remove your silver jewelry before exercising, washing your hands or showering. 

  • Always apply perfumes, creams and hair care products before wearing your pieces. 

  • To clean tarnished sterling silver jewelry, polish gently with a silver cloth. 

  • Store in a safe, dry place when not worn to protect them from the elements of daily exposure.

 

 

Titanium

Titanium is a lightweight, highly corrosion-resistant and durable material. When properly cared for, titanium will maintain its appearance for a lifetime.

HOW TO CARE FOR TITANIUM JEWELRY:

  • Clean your titanium jewelry with warm water, detergent-free soap and a soft cloth.

  • Ultrasonic cleaners are also safe to use on titanium jewelry. 

  • Since titanium is a natural element, it’s best to remove your jewelry when handling harsh chemicals such as chlorine or cleaning products to reduce daily abrasions and prolong the polish.

 

 

Enamel

Enameling is a technique in which a glossy substance, traditionally a type of glass, is applied to the surface of metal or another hard surface.

HOW TO CARE FOR ENAMEL JEWELRY:

  • Clean your enamel jewelry with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. 

  • This material can be damaged if exposed to a direct flame or harsh chemicals, such as perfume and nail polish remover.

 

 

Ceramic

Ceramics are an incredibly durable material made by taking mixtures of clay, earthen elements, powders and water—and shaping them into desired forms.

HOW TO CARE FOR CERAMIC JEWELRY:

  • Clean your ceramic jewelry with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. 

  • This material can be damaged if exposed to a direct flame or harsh chemicals, such as perfume and nail polish remover. 

  • Ceramic may scratch, so treat your pieces with care.
