Product Care

Given that all fine jewelry metals are soft and malleable, it follows that gold and silver jewelry should be worn and handled with the utmost care. This is especially the case for the thinner, lighter pieces of fine jewelry, which are relatively more susceptible to warping than their heavier counterparts. All fine jewelry should be removed from the body prior to sleeping (where the wearer may inadvertently damage the jewelry while compressing it) and then prior to strenuous physical activity (such as construction work or contact sports) as they may latch onto foreign objects and tear. Fine jewelry articles should also be removed prior to showering as the harsh chemicals within shampoos and washes may tarnish or even damage the jewelry. Soap may also mix with skin debris to produce an opaque film on the jewelry surface that will reduce its overall lustre.

It is highly recommended that silver jewelry, when not in use, be stored inside an airtight bag or container. This protects the silver from chemically reacting with environmental factors (such as oxygen-rich air; acidic skin) that would otherwise cause the silver to tarnish and lose its natural, pearly-white luster.

Sterling silver pieces that have already tarnished can be restored to their original state swiftly via chemical cleaning solutions, such as the one we provide. A quick twenty-second bath in the cleaner will remove layers of tarnish and grime from the silver. Stronger levels of tarnish will require a polishing service to remove.

Avoid wearing silver jewelry in pools as most pools contain a chlorine-based disinfectant— chlorine can and will damage sterling silver via leaching.
