Jewelry Care Instructions
JEWELRY CARE
PLEASE always be gentle with jewelry. Do NOT wear jewelry in the shower,
bathtub, or pool, etc., and keep them dry. If you clean your jewelry, gently and thoroughly dry all
pieces with a soft cloth afterwards. Take your jewelry off before bedtime, and store in a securely closed box or airtight baggie/container
when not worn.
Remember that oxidation (plated items, silver),
corrosion (aluminum), and tarnish (copper and brass) occurs naturally over
time.
Clean,
handle, and care for jewelry at your own risk:
I am NOT liable for items
once they leave my shop.
All sales are final; all
items are non-exchangeable and non-refundable.
CLEANING METALS
Please do not use chemical cleaners on any
jewelry from my shop.
Polish only argentium sterling silver, sterling silver, aluminum, and copper from my shop, as these
are non-plated metals (you can also clean these gently with mild soap and
lukewarm water, or with metal-specific, soft cleaning cloths). Gold-plated, gold-filled, and silver-plated wire can be wiped gently
with a soft cloth. To clean anodized (gold colored) niobium ear wires, use mild soap and
lukewarm water and rub gently--do not scrub, as scrubbing will remove the
anodized color. Clean all non-anodized ear wires with alcohol. For brass, wipe with a soft cloth—do not clean with
solvents like alcohol, or scrub with abrasive materials.
Remember
that all brass WILL tarnish to a dull
brown color NATURALLY over time, and requires some care to keep it looking like
new. Tarnishing will occur faster
in humid climates. Please read this for detailed BRASS JEWELRY CARE

CLEANING STONES
Gently wipe stones with a soft cloth if
necessary. Do not use solvents,
chemical cleaners, or cleaning agents (i.e.: ketchup)—they will damage
stones.
