Jewelry Care Guide

To keep your pieces beautiful — now, and for years to come.

General Care Tips

  • Put on your jewelry last — after skincare, makeup, and perfume.

  • Avoid contact with water, heat, humidity, or harsh chemicals such as lotion, hairspray, and alcohol.

  • Remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, sleeping, or exercising.

  • Store in a sealed pouch or jewelry box, away from sunlight and moisture. 

  • To preserve the finish, keep each item in its own pouch or compartment.

About the Polishing Cloth

Each piece comes with a complimentary silver polishing cloth.

Please note: The included cloth is designed for polished sterling silver only. For all other finishes and materials, please follow the care instructions below.

Caring for Different Materials

Polished Sterling Silver

• Use the included polishing cloth to gently restore shine. 
• Do not wash the cloth.
• For heavier tarnish, soak the piece in a silver cleaner for 10–30 seconds, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth.

Matte Silver

• The surface may gently darken or develop a soft sheen over time — this is part of its natural beauty. 
• For heavier tarnish, soak the piece in a silver cleaner for 10–30 seconds, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth. 
• Do not use the polishing cloth, as it may alter the texture.

Plated / Oxidized / PVD-Coated Silver

• These surfaces may soften or darken with time, developing a gentle patina. 
• Many pieces in this category feature a brushed or silk-like finish that is especially delicate. 
• Do not use silver cleaner or polishing cloths, as they may strip the finish or damage the surface.
• Instead, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.

Pearls & Gemstones

• Handle with care and avoid exposure to any chemicals. 
• Do not use silver cleaner or polishing cloths.
• After wearing, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store separately to prevent scratches.
