Jewelry Care

 

 To preserve the look of your jewelry and to keep it looking like new for years to come, here are a few basics that should be followed. 

  • Chlorine and metal do not play well. The chlorine will in fact damage the metal as it is acidic, same goes for bleach. Clean with toothpaste and/or baking soda with a soft cloth or old toothbrush and your jewelry will be as good as new.
     
  • Long term exposure to Chemicals will cause "pitting". Preventing tarnish or pitting is easy. Remove all jewelry before showering, swimming or washing dishes. 
     
  • Don't wear during sports activity since you could risk damage.
     
  • The PH levels in your skin can actually cause discoloration when wearing metals and could indicate high levels of acid in your skin. 
  • All jewelry will tarnish to some degree if not properly stored. If using long term storage, place in a plastic bag with a tarnish strip or a tarnish free pouch to slow down the oxidizing process.
