Metals and Care

Please take care not to drop your jewelry. Please don't try to bend the metal, adjust stone settings, or clean/polish the piece in ways other than what we advise. These may cause brittleness and breaks in the metal, or dislodge stones from their setting.

For Pearls:

• Avoid contact with soap, alcohol and other chemicals.
• Rinse with water only.
• Wipe dry with soft cloth.
• Store dry in airtight plastic or bag.

Sterling Silver, 14K Gold, and Stainless Steel (without patina/oxidized surface effect):

• Daily cleaning is recommended to prevent tarnishing and/or maintain polish.
  
• Clean with warm, soapy water. Never clean with chemicals, steam or ultrasonics.
  
• Wipe dry with soft cloth or polishing cloth.
  
• Store dry in airtight plastic or bag.

For Silver Black (oxidized) pieces:

• Rinse with water only.
• Wipe dry with soft cloth.
• Aggressive polishing, scratching, or using the vinegar soak will remove dark patina.

Deep Cleaning (for tarnished silver or gold pieces only):

• Mix hot plain vinegar with a pinch of salt in a ceramic or plastic container. Make sure no other metal (aside from the jewelry) touches this solution for the entire process.
  
• Soak only the metal parts of the jewelry in the solution until the solution cools to room temperature.
  
• Take the jewelry out using your hands or wood/plastic/ceramic tool (no metal).
  
• Gently brush the metal parts with a soft toothbrush and soapy water.
  
• Rinse off the soap.
  
• Wipe dry with soft cloth or polishing cloth.
  
• Store dry in airtight plastic or bag.
