Understanding Our Gold and Silver Jewelry
On our website, when you see jewelry labeled as "gold" or "silver," this refers to our thick and robust 18K gold or 925 sterling silver plating.Each solid brass piece is carefully plated with a substantial layer of gold or silver, ensuring a luxurious finish. Additionally, we apply an anti-tarnish coating to these items, which helps protect them from discoloration and wear, ensuring their quality and longevity. This extra layer of protection means that your jewelry will maintain its stunning appearance with the right care.
Fine Jewelry Collection
Our Fine Jewelry Collection features pieces made from Solid 925 sterling silver of the highest quality. This collection is designed for those who appreciate the enduring beauty and weight of genuine sterling silver. These pieces are crafted to last a lifetime, embodying both luxury and durability.
How to Care for Your Jewelry
To keep your jewelry looking its best, follow these care instructions tailored to each collection:
Gold and Silver Plated Jewelry
- Avoid Moisture: Keep your plated jewelry dry. Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising, as exposure to water and sweat can cause tarnishing and wear over time.
- Gentle Cleaning: Clean your plated pieces with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove any oils or residues. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishing cloths, as these can wear away the plating.
- Safe Storage: Store your plated jewelry in a cool, dry place, ideally in a jewelry box or pouch. Keeping each piece separate will prevent scratches and prolong the life of the plating.
- Avoid Chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, and household cleaning products can damage the plating. Apply any cosmetics or scents before putting on your jewelry, and avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals.
Fine Jewelry Collection: Solid Sterling Silver
- Regular Cleaning: Sterling silver can tarnish over time, especially when exposed to air and moisture. Clean your silver jewelry regularly with a silver polishing cloth to maintain its shine. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Conditions: While sterling silver is durable, it's best to remove your jewelry before engaging in activities that might expose it to chemicals, rough surfaces, or extreme temperatures.
- Proper Storage: Store your sterling silver jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in a tarnish-resistant pouch or lined box. Keeping your pieces in an airtight container can also help prevent tarnishing.
Whether you choose one of our robust plated pieces or solid sterling silver items from our Fine Jewelry Collection, following these care tips will help maintain their beauty and integrity.
We hope you treasure your pieces as much as we enjoyed creating them for you.
