Keep your jewelry looking its best with these tips and tricks:
MOISSANITE CARE
Moissanite is resilient and easy to care for. Clean your Moissanite just as you would a diamond or any other fine gemstone. An ultrasonic cleaner is safe for use with most fine jewelry items. However, always handle your treasured pieces with care. Alternatively, you can clean your Moissanite jewelry using a non-acidic commercial jewelry cleaner or mild soap and water with a soft toothbrush.
GENERAL GEMSTONE CARE
Keeping your gemstones sparkling is simple! Most gemstones can be cleaned with warm, soapy water and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that can be found in everyday products such as lotion, perfume, and hairspray, as well as household cleaners like bleach. Store your jewelry in a safe, dry place when not being worn to protect it.
925 STERLING SILVER
Crafted from 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, 925 sterling silver is celebrated for its durability and suitability for intricate jewelry designs, offering greater strength than pure silver.
Care Tips: Avoid water exposure, as most water contains impurities that can tarnish silver. Store jewelry in an airtight bag with anti-tarnish strips to maintain its shine. Handle gently to prevent scratches and polish using a jewelry or microfiber cloth for a brilliant finish.
GOLD VERMEIL
Gold Vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a special style of gold plating, also known as silver gilt. It features a gold coating over a sterling silver base, offering the luxurious look of yellow or rose gold jewelry at an exceptional value. Vermeil is known for its long-lasting color and shine.
Care Tips:To keep your gold vermeil jewelry looking beautiful, avoid contact with chlorine, bleach, and sweat. Clean it gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they can strip the jewelry of its gold finish.
RHODIUM PLATED
Rhodium plating is used to maintain the brilliant white in silver and white gold. Rhodium, a member of the platinum family of metals, is applied over sterling silver or alloyed gold, making the jewelry more resistant to corrosion and tarnish while providing long-lasting color and shine.
Care Tips:Wash your rhodium-plated jewelry in a solution of warm soapy water using a soft-bristled brush. Rinse off any soapy residue and dry with a soft microfiber cloth.
