Jewelry Care

Jewelry Care

For our Gold Jewelry:
Our gold jewelry requires periodic cleaning, once every 2-3 weeks, and will not tarnish or corrode. Avoid exposing gold jewelry to bleach, which will quickly cause gold to discolor and possibly damage. Rare chemical reactions can occur with lotions, oil, perfume, etc.

For our Plated Gold over Sterling Silver Jewelry:
For our plated gold over sterling silver jewelry: 1. Avoid getting the jewelry wet with water, soap, perfume, lotion and other chemicals. If the jewelry does get wet, wipe it immediately with a soft cloth2. Avoid getting the jewelry wet with sweat. Remove the jewelry when you are going to engage in strenuous physical activity.3. Remove the plated jewelry when you sleep at night to reduce contact with bare skin.4. Store the jewelry in a dry place. Also, it is best to store the plated jewelry separate from other plated jewelry (either you keep them in individual plastic pouches or separate them in the jewelry box).Note: In general, plating can last for up to two years with proper care. The best way to deal with tarnished pieces is to have the piece re-plated when required.Please inquire as we can offer courtesy re-plating of jewelry within 1 year of purchase, you would just cover the shipping fees to and from our offices.
