Jewelry Care & Maintenance

When cared for properly, 18K gold pieces can be cherished and passed on forever!

Pure gold is too soft for everyday wear, so it’s alloyed with high-quality metals to enhance its strength and durability. This process hardens the final product enough to last a lifetime.

We recommend removing your pieces when exercising or engaging in physical activities that could cause impacts with hard materials, which can scratch or dent the surface of your jewelry.

Please refer our Jewelry Care Guide: How to Maintain Shine and Longevity for more details.

Store your pieces in a dry pouch, clean them gently with a soft cloth or a mild silver cleaner, and wear them regularly to preserve their natural luster. For heavier tarnish, the baking soda and foil method can safely restore shine.

Sterling silver naturally reacts with sulfur compounds in the air, forming a surface patina that appears darkened or dull over time.

This process is completely normal and harmless. In fact, wearing your silver often slows tarnishing because natural skin oils help keep it polished.
