Everyday Jewelry Care

FOR THE PIECES YOU WEAR, REMOVE, AND REACH FOR AGAIN

Your everyday jewelry is designed to be lived in — layered, styled, taken on and off, and worn your way. With a little intentional care, your pieces will stay beautiful, wearable, and ready for whatever your days look like.

​​

​

​​

  • Gentle daily wear

  • Handwashing (when removed)

Jewelry lasts longest when it’s treated with care between wears.

​​

​

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.

​

​

A LITTLE MAGIC, A LITTLE CARE

 

Your everyday jewelry is meant to move with you — layered into routines, styled for moments, and chosen intentionally.

​

Treat it with care, and it will continue to feel just as special every time you put it on.with a little intention, and it will shine right back at you.
