How should I care for my CD jewelry?

When you are buying quality, handmade jewelry it helps to LOVE and take care of your new pieces!

For all jewelry in general try to keep out of pools, hot tubs, showers and away from perfume, sunscreen and sweat if possible. I understand this can be difficult so if anything try and keep your jewelry dry because moisture is what tarnishes metal. Store your jewelry in an organized and safe space. Constant tangling of chains can weaken them over time.

GOLD

14k and 18k yellow gold is beautiful yet durable for everyday wear. Gold requires a lot less upkeep than other metals, but with good care and occasional cleaning it will shine for generations. To keep your gold looking shiny and bright it is best to gently wash your jewelry with warm, soapy water and a soft toothbrush. Store individually in the pouch provided or an air-tight plastic baggie.

GOLD FILLED

Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of 14k yellow gold that is bonded to the core of a base metal. The layer of gold on gold-filled jewelry is at least 100 times thicker than gold-plated jewelry and it is bonded rather than plated meaning it will never rub off. It is the best affordable option for a solid gold alternative. With good care gold-filled pieces can last many years. To keep your bronze looking beautiful try to keep it as dry as possible. Store individually in the pouch provided or an air-tight plastic baggie.

BRONZE

Taking good care of your new bronze jewelry will keep it looking shiny and bright for years to come. The high copper content in bronze can cause it to darken over time, most often caused by exposure to humidity or water. To keep your bronze looking beautiful try to keep it as dry as possible. Store in the pouch provided or an air-tight plastic baggie. If tarnish begins to occur use your Sunshine cloth provided.

STERLING SILVER

Sterling silver can tarnish and darken over time, most often caused by exposure to oxygen in the air. The more you love and wear your silver jewelry the more bright and shiny it will stay. Daily wear is the best way to keep your silver jewelry looking its best. When you are not wearing your silver piece store in the pouch provided or an air-tight plastic baggie. If tarnish begins to occur use your Sunshine cloth provided.

OXIDIZED STERLING SILVER

Oxidized Sterling Silver jewelry is a patina that gives your new silver jewelry an antique look. The black patina naturally wears away over time, leaving the recessed areas of the design black while the raised areas will polish off revealing the silver underneath. Your oxidized piece will evolve overtime depending on the amount of wear. Oxidized jewelry is already tarnished so no cleaning is necessary. I am happy to re-oxidize your piece at any time for no charge.DO YOU OFFER GIFT CARDS?
