Whether your piece is silver, gold, platinum, tungsten carbide, titanium, or stainless steel, these simple steps will help it stay beautiful and sparkling for years.

925 Silver Jewelry

• Store pieces separately in soft cloth pouches or boxes to prevent scratches.
• Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals (household cleaners, chlorine) and beauty products (perfume, lotions, hairspray).
• Remove jewelry during sports, chores, gardening, and swimming.

Cleaning Tips:

• Polishing cloths or mild soap + warm water work wonders.
• DIY options:

1. 1. Hot water + baking soda + salt
   2. Water + white vinegar + baking soda
   3. Toothpaste + soft toothbrush

• Dry thoroughly and polish gently after cleaning.

Solid Gold Jewelry (Yellow, White, Rose)

Prevent Scratches & Tarnish:

• Store separately in soft pouches or velvet-lined boxes.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, including chlorine, bleach, and strong cleaning products.
• Remove before exercising, cooking, swimming, or applying beauty products.

Cleaning Tips:

• Mild soap + warm water with a soft cloth or soft-bristle brush is ideal.

Platinum Jewelry

Prevent Wear & Tear:

• Platinum is durable but can develop minor surface scratches over time, store separately.
• Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Remove during activities that may cause heavy impacts.

Prevent Damage:

Diamond Care (Natural & Lab-Grown)

• Take Off During: Hot showers, saunas, swimming, beauty treatments, makeup application, cooking, gardening, or gym workouts.

Important Disclaimer for Plated Jewelry

Jewelry with gold or black plating may fade over time. Longevity is not guaranteed and can vary from days to months or even years, depending on factors such as skin acidity, frequency of wear, and overall care.

Plated jewelry is intended for occasional wear. Please do not purchase these pieces if finish fading would be a concern, as changes to the surface finish are a natural and expected characteristic of plated jewelry.
