WHEN TO REMOVE YOUR JEWELRY
Unlike permanent jewelry, everyday pieces should be removed during certain activities.
We recommend removing your jewelry before:
-
Showering or bathing
-
Swimming
-
Exercising or heavy sweating
-
Sleeping
-
Cleaning or using household products
While some metals are more water-resistant than others, removing your jewelry helps preserve finish, shape, and longevity over time.
WHAT TO AVOID
Chemicals and certain products can cause dulling, discoloration, or residue on all metals.
Try to avoid direct contact with:
-
Self-tanner
-
Sunscreen
-
Lotion
-
Perfume
-
Hair products
-
Chlorine
-
Bleach or household cleaners
-
Harsh chemical products of any kind
Put your jewelry on last, and remove it first — this simple habit makes a big difference.
CLEANING YOUR JEWELRY
Regular cleaning keeps your pieces looking their best.
The best way to clean most everyday jewelry:
Dawn + warm water + a soft baby toothbrush
-
Gently scrub the chains, clasps and settings
-
Rinse thoroughly
-
Pat dry with a soft cloth
This removes product buildup and restores shine without damaging your jewelry.
FOR STERLING SILVER JEWELRY
Silver naturally oxidizes over time — it’s completely normal.
To care for your silver:
-
Clean with Dawn + warm water + baby toothbrush
-
Dry fully before storing
-
Use a silver polish cloth as needed
-
For deeper tarnish: a tiny amount of silver polish, wiped carefully (avoid stones)
With regular wear and care, silver stays bright and beautiful.
STORAGE TIPS
How you store your jewelry matters.
When not wearing your pieces:
-
Store in a dry place
-
Keep pieces separated to avoid tangling or scratching
-
Avoid humid areas like bathrooms
Proper storage helps extend the life of your jewelry between wears.
