Material Care Guide

18K Gold Vermeil

Gold vermeil features a thick layer of 18K gold over sterling silver, offering the luxurious appearance of solid gold with excellent everyday durability.

To preserve its finish:

• Avoid prolonged exposure to water and moisture.
• Keep away from perfumes, lotions, and chemicals.
• Clean gently with a soft polishing cloth.
• Store separately to minimize friction and wear.

Gold-Plated Sterling Silver

Gold-plated sterling silver combines the beauty of gold with the strength of sterling silver.

To extend the life of the gold plating:

• Remove before swimming, showering, or exercising.
• Avoid contact with chemicals and cosmetics.
• Clean with a dry microfiber cloth.
• Store in a dry, airtight jewelry pouch whenever possible.

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver naturally develops a patina over time through exposure to air and moisture.

To maintain its shine:

• Polish with a silver polishing cloth as needed.
• Store in a dry environment.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and household chemicals.

Natural oxidation is normal and can easily be restored with proper polishing.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to tarnishing, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear.

To keep it looking its best:

• Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
• Dry thoroughly before storing.
• Although highly durable, avoid unnecessary scratches from abrasive surfaces.

Freshwater Pearls

Freshwater pearls are naturally formed, and each pearl is beautifully unique.

Pearls are softer than gemstones and require gentle care.

• Avoid perfumes, cosmetics, and hairspray.
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear.
• Store separately to prevent scratching.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water and excessive heat.

Moissanite

Moissanite is known for its exceptional brilliance and durability.

To maintain its sparkle:

• Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Zirconia & Cubic Zirconia

Our zirconia and cubic zirconia stones are precision cut for lasting brilliance.

To keep them sparkling:

• Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• Avoid abrasive materials that may dull the surface.

Natural Gemstones

Natural gemstones may vary slightly in colour, pattern, and texture, making every piece unique.

To protect your gemstones:

• Avoid harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes.
• Clean gently with a soft cloth.
• Store separately to prevent scratching.

Enamel

Enamel provides beautiful colour and should be handled with care.

• Avoid dropping or striking hard surfaces.
• Protect from harsh chemicals.
• Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth.

Storage

Proper storage helps preserve your jewelry's finish and shine.

We recommend:

• Storing each piece separately.
• Keeping jewelry in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box.
• Avoiding humid environments such as bathrooms.
• Keeping chains fastened while stored to reduce tangling.

Cleaning

For routine care, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft polishing cloth after each wear.

For a deeper clean, most pieces (excluding pearls) can be cleaned using:

• Warm water
• Mild soap
• A soft cloth or soft-bristled brush

Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.

A Note About Wear

All jewelry naturally experiences signs of wear over time. Factors such as daily use, skin chemistry, humidity, cosmetics, and environmental exposure can affect the appearance of precious metals and finishes.

With thoughtful care and proper storage, your jewelry is designed to remain a cherished part of your collection for years to come.
