Considerate care of your jewelry will preserve its beauty over time. Each material requires specific treatment. Gold and solid silver are naturally resilient materials, yet all jewelry benefits from attentive handling. Gold-plated pieces are especially sensitive and require particular care, as the plated surface is more delicate than solid metal. Many of our pieces also feature hand-painted enamel and natural gemstones, which require gentle treatment to maintain their color, brilliance, and integrity.

To maintain your jewelry’s finish and longevity, always keep your pieces dry. Moisture, humidity, and prolonged exposure to water can cause silver to oxidize and may cause gold plating to fade, discolor, or wear down more quickly. Humid environments can significantly shorten the lifespan of gold-plated jewelry and may affect enamel surfaces and certain gemstones. Store your pieces in a dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or jewelry box, away from moisture, direct air exposure, and direct sunlight.

Avoid wearing your jewelry in the shower, bath, swimming pool, or sauna. Do not wash your hands while wearing gold-plated jewelry. Water, soap and steam gradually weaken gold plating, can dull enamel and gemstones.

Avoid direct contact with perfume, body lotion, oils, hairspray, sunscreen, and household cleaning products. Always apply cosmetics and fragrance before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals and alcohol-based products can damage gold plating, dull gemstones, and cause discoloration or deterioration of enamel.

Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight and heat may alter the color and finish of gold plating, enamel, and certain gemstones over time.

Do not sleep while wearing your jewelry.

Gold-plated jewelry requires particular attention. Gold plating is a fine layer of gold applied over silver or brass and should be handled gently. Gold-plated pieces must not be polished, as polishing will gradually remove the plated layer. Do not use silver polish, polishing cloths intended for silver, or abrasive materials on gold-plated jewelry. After wearing, gently wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and moisture before storing.

Solid silver may naturally oxidize over time. This is a normal reaction to air and humidity. To restore its shine, use a high-quality silver polishing cloth or a silver polish specifically designed for sterling silver. Follow the product instructions carefully and avoid excessive polishing.

Enamel is hand-painted and should be treated with care. Avoid impact, pressure, or sharp blows, as enamel can chip or crack. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth only.

Gemstones vary in hardness and sensitivity. Protect them from impact and avoid exposure to chemicals and extreme temperature changes. Handle gemstone pieces with care to prevent scratching or loosening of settings.

With proper care and mindful handling, your jewelry will maintain its beauty and character for years to come.
