Every piece of jewelry tells a story. With proper care, your pieces will maintain their beauty and continue to be part of your daily narrative. Here's how to care for each metal in your collection.

14k Gold Care

Our solid gold pieces are made to last, but proper care ensures their enduring luster:

• Remove before swimming, showering, or applying products
• Clean with warm water and mild soap when needed
• Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Consider removing during sleep for optimal preservation

Gold Fill Care

Gold fill jewelry offers remarkable durability, but mindful care extends its life:

• Remove before swimming or bathing
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and chemicals
• Clean gently with a soft cloth after wear
• Store separately to prevent scratching
• Remove before exercising or sleeping

Sterling Silver Care

Sterling silver develops a natural patina over time, but you can maintain its bright finish:

• Store in an anti-tarnish bag when not wearing
• Wipe with a polishing cloth regularly
• Keep away from chlorine and salt water
• Remove before applying personal care products
• Clean with mild soap and water as needed

Brass Care

Brass naturally develops a warm patina that many collectors cherish:

• A lemon juice and salt paste can restore original shine if desired
• Remove before swimming or bathing
• Store in a sealed bag to slow natural oxidation
• Wipe with a soft cloth after wear
• Apply a thin coat of clear wax to maintain finish (optional)

General Care Tips

Storage Essentials:

When to Remove Your Jewelry:

Professional Care

While regular home care maintains your pieces, consider professional cleaning:
