Jewelry Care Instructions
☞ We use high quality gold-filled chain on virtually all of our necklaces. Gold-filled is usually a lifetime product because the gold layer bonded to the brass core is quite thick. Gold-filled contains 5% gold by weight; all the gold is on the surface which offers product protection from tarnish and wear.
☞ For our silver necklaces we use 925 Sterling Silver chains. 925 sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. These chains may tarnish over time (darker silver or copper color) but they can easily be polished with a Silver Polishing Cloth and the shiny silver color can be restored.
☞ Gold Plated Chain is a less expensive alternative. We use a tarnish resistant chain with gold filled clasp. However, any gold plated chain will tarnish eventually with wear. The timing of it will depend entirely on the skin of the person wearing it, how it is worn and stored. Gold plated chain is also more yellow in color. We do also offer a longer lasting 14K Gold Filled chain which is the best alternative to solid gold chain and can last a long time with proper care.
☞ It's very important that to keep your jewelry dry (never bathe, swim or spray perfume on the jewelry; chemical reactions with chlorine and other elements such as perspiration can lead to tarnishing).
☞ Additionally, apply makeup, hairspray or any type of lotion before putting on your jewelry, as they may contain harsh chemicals that may damage your jewelry over time.
☞ Do not sleep with your jewelry on and do not leave it sitting out after you take it off. Store your clean, dry jewelry in an air-tight container as humidity can damage your jewelry.
☞ For extra care, after each wear gently wipe each piece of jewelry clean of make up and skin oils with a soft cloth.
