  • Do not swim or bath with your jewelry

WAYS TO PREVENT TARNISHING

Remove your jewelry before sleeping, showering, swimming, or exercising. Keep it away from perfumes, lotions, soaps, shampoos, and household chemicals, as these can accelerate tarnishing and wear.

Store your jewelry in a dust bag or jewelry box when not in use, and keep gold-plated and silver pieces separately. Clean regularly with a soft cloth to remove oils and sweat, and avoid using paper towels or tissues, which may scratch the surface.

GOLD-PLATED SILVER CARE

Gold-plated silver jewelry may naturally fade over time due to daily wear, friction, moisture, and exposure to body oils or chemicals. This is a normal characteristic of gold-plated jewelry and not a manufacturing defect.

Proper care can help prolong the life of the plating; however, natural fading from regular wear is expected and is not covered under warranty.

HOW TO CLEAN JEWELRY?

This method of cleaning gold is great because it will not harm any of the gemstones or metals that the jewelry might contain. Just be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a soft cloth, so you don’t cause any accidental abrasions to the surface.

What you’ll need:

  • Warm water
  • Soft toothbrush or jewelry cleaning brush
  • non-chemical soap

Step1: Fill a bowl with clean warm water and add some non-chemical soap water, stirring until the mixture creates bubbles.

Step2: Put the jewelry in the mixture and move it around slightly using your finger. This should help shift some of the tough residues that build up on jewelry through daily wear.

Step3: Leave the jewelry in the mixture to soak for 5-10 minutes to loosen up more stubborn stains.

Step4: Take your jewelry out of the mixture, and gently wipe the surface with a jeweled cloth or a soft non-abrasive cloth. Then store your jewelry securely in an airtight bag or jewelry box.

This is also a great way to clean gold-plated jewelry because it will maintain the iconic luster on its outer surface.
