Jewellery Care and Materials

STAINLESS STEEL (316L)

Why we love it: Hypoallergenic, incredibly durable, and naturally resistant to tarnish and rust. Perfect for everyday wear.

Daily Care

  • Wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after wearing

  • Remove before swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs

  • Put on last—after makeup, perfume, and hairspray

Monthly Cleaning

  1. Mix lukewarm water with mild dish soap

  2. Gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush

  3. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely

  4. Polish with a non-abrasive cloth for extra shine

STERLING SILVER (.925)

What makes it special: 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength. Develops a unique patina over time—many cherish this character, while others prefer bright polish.

The Golden Rule

"Silver that is regularly used typically needs less care. We encourage you to wear your sterling silver every day."

Daily Care

  • Wear it often—your skin's natural oils help prevent tarnish

  • Remove before exercising (salt in sweat accelerates tarnishing)

  • Avoid contact with household bleach, chlorine, and rubber bands

When Tarnish Appears

  1. Use quality silver polish on a soft cloth

  2. Rub gently several times

  3. Rinse in warm water and dry immediately

  4. Avoid "dip" polishes—they contain harsh chemicals

For heavy tarnish: Use the aluminum foil method—line a bowl with foil, add baking soda and hot water, let the chemical reaction lift tarnish naturally.

Storage

  • Cool, dry place in individual anti-tarnish pouches

  • Include anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets

  • Remove excess air from storage bags

FAQ

Can I shower with my jewelry?
Stainless steel: Yes, though we recommend drying thoroughly. Sterling silver: Occasional exposure is fine, but consistent water contact accelerates tarnish.

My silver turned black—can I fix it?
Yes. This is natural tarnish from sulfur exposure. Follow our cleaning guide above or visit us for complimentary professional cleaning.

How do I prevent scratches?
Store pieces separately in soft pouches. Stainless steel resists scratches well; sterling silver is softer and benefits from gentle handling.
