NOTES ON CARE
Each piece is designed to be worn often and kept for years to come. With proper care, fine jewelry will naturally develop character while maintaining its beauty over time.
14K & 18K GOLD
14k and 18k gold are durable precious metals suited for everyday wear. To preserve their finish, we recommend avoiding direct contact with perfumes, lotions, oils, chlorine, and household chemicals.
Remove jewelry before exercising, swimming, showering, or sleeping. Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box to help prevent scratching.
To clean, gently polish with a soft cloth or rinse in warm water with mild soap. Dry thoroughly before storing.
STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver naturally oxidizes over time and may develop a darker patina with wear and exposure to air and moisture.
To minimize tarnishing, store silver pieces in a dry, enclosed space when not in use and avoid prolonged exposure to water, humidity, and chemicals.
Clean gently with a soft polishing cloth designed for silver. For deeper cleaning, use warm water and mild soap, then dry completely.
GENERAL CARE
Although our jewelry is designed to stand up to everyday wear, fine jewelry should be handled with care. Natural wear, surface marks, and subtle patina are part of the character of precious metals over time. Gold is especially notorious for being soft, so pieces with high gold content are more susceptible than other metals to showing surface marks. We recommend removing jewelry in general when participating in vigorous physical activities or anything involving harsh chemicals or heavy machinery, for the safety of the jewelry and the wearer both.
