Jewelry Care
Gold & Rose Gold-Filled
Gold-filled does not peel or flake off like plated or dipped products. Nor does it tarnish as readily as silver.
Many owners find that they never have to clean gold-filled items at all. However, from time to time your jewelry may become dirty from everyday wear.
To clean gold-filled it is best to use dish soap or a mild soap and water. Hot water will not damage your jewelry.
Although, like any precious jewelry, chemicals may harm the pearls and precious metals (For Example: some types of glues, nail polish, fumes..) are capable of causing damage.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver can tarnish when exposed to air elements like oxygen and sulfur. To keep it gleaming, wear your silver jewelry regularly—the natural oils from your skin help maintain its luster. It's best to avoid contact with harsh chemicals, sweat, chlorinated water, and substances containing sulfur.
For storage, seal your silver in an airtight bag alongside anti-tarnish agents such as chalk, activated charcoal, or silica gel to prevent tarnishing. If tarnish does appear, a gentle cleanse with warm water and mild dish soap free of ammonia and phosphates can restore its shine.
Warm water and a mild, ammonia and phosphate free dishwashing soap is a great homemade cleaner if your piece is looking tarnished.
