Ear care and safety instructions

• Always sanitize earrings by dipping them in hydrogen peroxide or Polysporin before threading through your ear
• if you have super sensitive ears, clean piercing area with the same solution at least twice a day for minimum 2 weeks.

Jewelry Care - General

Use only a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean your jewelry.
Avoid contact with salt water, chemicals (i.e. chlorine, detergents, perfumes, hair spray, lotions) & chemical cleaners, which might damage the metal & gemstones/crystals. Practice last on, first off with jewelries!

Please be gentle with your jewelry. Excessive force or tugging may cause the wire work to misshape. If this happens, gently bend the wire back into its original position.

Please remove before showering or swimming, and keep away from moisture. Store them separately in airtight containers or ziplock bags.

Jewelry Care - gold filled

While gold filled is tarnish resistant, chemicals (even the salt from sweat) and frequent exposure to water can cause it to become dull. To bring back the shine, gently wash in mild soapy water and wipe with a soft cloth.

Jewelry Care - sterling silver

All sterling silver tarnish over time but you can deter the oxidization process by storing them in airtight containers or ziplock bags.

You can clean sterling silver with a jar of silver cleaning solution (from Amazon or Walmart).

Alternatively, follow the instructions here for a DIY cleaning solution with ingredients most of us already have at home.

Jewelry Care - stainless steel

If your stainless steel jewelry is very dainty or has crystals in it, please follow the general care instructions above.
If your jewelry is all stainless steel, very little maintenance/care is required: You can wear it in the shower, swimming in chlorine-filled pools, and in salt water! You don't really need to take it off for anything - other than the occasional polishing when required!

Jewelry Care - electroplated crystals

The electroplated part crystals are made by electroplating a thin layer of gold or silver over an alloy metal such as brass. To keep this layer longer lasting, please minimize exposure to water and chemicals.
If your electroformed layer on the crystal has worn off, you can easily re-create the look yourself with a coat of enamel. See tutorial video here
