Jewelry Care
-
Most materials benefit from dry storage, gentle cleaning, and avoiding perfume & water.
-
Each material has its own character – whether it's natural patina, sensitivity to wear, or high resistance.
| Material | Shared Care Guidelines | Unique Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel Silver | • Avoid chemicals and perfume • Store in a dry place • Wipe with soft cloth |
Does not tarnish; low maintenance and highly durable |
| Sterling Silver 925 | • Avoid saltwater and harsh chemicals • Store airtight • Polish occasionally |
Naturally oxidizes over time; polishing helps restore shine |
| 14k Gold Plated | • Avoid water, perfume, sweat • Store in a dry place • Wipe gently |
Thin gold layer can wear off — extra care needed |
| Brass | • Avoid prolonged moisture and skin oils • Clean with cloth |
Naturally develops patina (darkens); some wearers enjoy this antique look |
| 14k Solid Gold | • Store separately • Clean gently with soap and water |
Won’t tarnish; soft metal — can scratch if stored with others |
| 14k Gold Filled | • Avoid perfume, sweat, and water • Store separately • Wipe with dry cloth |
More durable than gold plating, but still needs careful handling |
