PRODUCT CARE

Each piece of jewelry in our collection is handcrafted with care using quality materials such as gold, sterling silver, copper, and natural & lab created gemstones. To preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewelry, we recommend the following guidelines:

General Handling

  • Always handle your jewelry with clean, dry hands.
  • Avoid wearing jewelry while bathing, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
  • Remove jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, hairspray, or household cleaning products.

Tarnish & Oxidation

Silver and copper naturally oxidize over time. This is a normal process and not a defect. To slow this down:

  • Store jewelry in a dry, airtight container with anti-tarnish pouches or bags
  • Keep pieces separated to avoid scratches and tangling.
  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth  to gently clean after each wear.
  • Use a "Sunshine Polishing Cloth" and lightly rub surface. Available in our store HERE.
  • For any pieces containing delicate stones like opal, turquoise or pearl, a mixture of warm water and baking soda in an aluminum pan will remove tarnish.

Gold is less prone to tarnish, but still benefits from regular gentle cleaning and safe storage.

Cleaning Guidelines

  • Use only a soft, dry cloth or a mild jewelry-specific cleaner for metal components.
  • Avoid ultra sonic cleaners or harsh chemicals, especially with gemstones or oxidized finishes.

Gemstone Care

Some gemstones used in our jewelry are particularly sensitive and require extra caution: 

  • Corundum (Sapphire & Ruby), Spinel, Garnet & Alexandrite
    • Protect from sharp blows and extreme heat.
    • Clean with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners.
  • Jade (Nephrite or Jadeite)
    • Avoid heat, acids, and abrasives. Clean gently with a soft damp cloth without soaking.
  • Malachite
    • Very sensitive to acids, moisture and heat. Never use commercial cleaners. Wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth only.

Storage

  • Store each piece separately to avoid scratches or tangling.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • When traveling, use a padded jewelry case or wrap each item in a soft cloth.

Following these guidelines will help maintain the beauty and integrity of your handmade jewelry for years to come. If you have questions about caring for a specific piece, feel free to contact us directly — we’re happy to help.
