Care Guide
Jewelryâs only job is
to bring people joy.
Taking care of it makes the job easier for us both.
So this is a plea, directly from
jewelry to you, to be its assistant.Â
A partner in crime. A caretaker.

Letâs get into it, shall we?
Silver, Gold & Platinum
We enjoy a good wipe-down with âša polishing cloth, especially when exposed to evil forces like sunscreen âšor heat or alcohol in some cosmetics, even your PH balance (sorry, weâre honest to a fault)
Pearls
If thereâs one thing that matters to me, itâs the state of my skin. Iâm highly allergic to perfume and lotion. It eats at my nacre, which is my glowing outer layer. If you take me out on the town often, I should really be restrung once a year.
Diamonds
I am remarkably low maintenance. I am strong. I am practically invincible. Spritz me with some warm water and âšwipe me down. If you really love me, âšyou can use a soft toothbrush.
Inlay
Some of the other pieces think Iâm overly sensitive, but really Iâm just an artist. My stones â turquoise, opal, lapis, and âšthe like, are soft â and I need to be alone. âšI canât be stacked next to anything.Â
I donât like sports; in fact, I despise them. And Iâm a naturalist. No perfumes or lotions, please.
Enamel
Iâm tough. I can handle a lot. But alcohol (like the kind in perfume) and high-temps make me crack and peel, and thatâs not good for anyone. So do me a favor, and keep me cool and dry and give a polishing cloth rubdown every once in a while. Thatâs it.
Brass
A ketchup bath is what keeps me clean. Because Iâm really into clean. Into acid(ity). Thatâs all you need to know.
Donât...do water sports with us
Whether a jet ski, a jacuzzi, or even a shower â itâs not a good idea.
Donât...let us touch
Store us in what we came in or a cozy, âšlined jewelry box. Also be careful how âšyou stack us â especially soft stones like emeralds and opals.
Donât...let us get âš(too) hot
No throwing us in the dryer. No leaving us on the window sill. No baking us in the sun.
Donât...moisturize us
We are already beautiful enough. Please donât apply cosmetics, perfume, or lotions of any kind to us.
Donât...garden with us
Not our thing. Itâs dirty. And messy.
In spite of your best efforts, we know youâre going âšto do some of these things to us, so if you need a repair, contact:
Thatâs their job. Some repairs are free, others are not. We donât know anything about that, weâre just the jewelry.
...or is it the beginning?
Now you are armed with all of the information you need to take care of us.
