PRODUCT CARE & REPAIR
General Care
To protect the plating of your jewelry please remove it when washing your hands, swimming, exercising or cleaning and before applying any kind of personal body products.
To maintain your jewelry’s shine by avoiding contact with soaps, perfume, lotion, makeup, hair products, etc.
Storing jewelry in a pouch or dark area will prevent the opportunity to be exposed to daily humidity that could also alter the initial plating and filling.
Always wear your rubber or metal safety backs with your earrings to prevent loss.

For gold filled, gold plated, stainless steel, rhodium jewelry;
Perfumes, colognes, lotions, creams and make-up products contain chemicals that can react with plating and discolor or fade jewelry. Body chemistry and moisture can also effect a plated piece – a high skin PH balance will greatly speed up tarnishing on a plated item.
Plated jewelry should never be worn during activities that involve water such as showering or pool/beach activities as chlorine and salt water will effect plating. When removing jewelry for these purposes be sure to store in a dry area. Friction or contact with a hard surface can produce scratches or scratch to the piece.
If necessary, use warm water with a mild, fragrance-free soap to clean plated, gold filled items. Gently pat dry with a clean cotton or microfiber cloth. Most jewelry cleaners contain chemical elements that will slowly wear and fade plating or filling over time.
We recommend washing your jewelry with warm water and dish soap for 30 seconds, drying them completely and then drying with a microfiber cloth.
