Care Instructions

Our pieces are created to either look vintage or high shine.  Our Vintage finished pieces are better for everyday wear and our Polished pieces should be handled with care.

We like to mix up our look and offer a wide variety by making our jewelry with different types of metals and finishes.  Sterling Silver, Solid Gold, and Brass bathed in Solid Gold are our metals of choice.  All can act differently from exposure to different types of elements like the ones mentioned below.

DO:

If you want to keep the original beauty of our pieces, please take off your jewelry before activity or use with any substances (especially for our high polished finish and our heavy gold plated items).  You may notice that over time our pieces can change due to wear and tear and exposure from substances like chlorine, salt, sulfur (leather products), rubber, water and air.  To ensure longevity, take off your jewelry as much as possible after use and do not toss your pieces all together in a pile. Store them separately so they’re not rubbing up against one another. Also, consider wrapping them in tissue paper or a soft cloth when you’re not wearing them. When you want to clean your jewelry, soak them in warm, soapy water and use a cloth or very soft brush to gently rub away any gunk, dirt, or tarnish. 

All of our gold plated pieces are subject to fading if not handled with proper care. If you would like to avoid plated pieces entirely, we offer Solid 14k Gold and Solid .925 Sterling Silver options.

Please take certain precautions when it comes to how you handle your jewelry if you like the way it looks when new.  Proper care is an important part of keeping your jewelry looking its best.  

DO NOT:

Do not wear your necklaces, rings, and bracelets when you’re cleaning or working with harsh chemicals; when you’re in chlorinated pools/spas; or while you’re playing sports or doing any type of physical activity. 

For Cuff bracelets, DO NOT bend the metal of the cuff to take it on and off your wrist, the cuff can deform and will break (we are not responsible if you break your cuff).  Instead, carefully and gently, size the cuff once to your wrist so it is able to be tightly rotated on and off without further bending.
