Care
Everyday care
-
A soft cloth
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
-
Jewelry goes on last
Apply perfume and lotion before you put your pieces on, not after.
-
No chlorine or harsh cleaners
Keep them away from chlorine and harsh cleaners.
-
Water is fine
It's fine to get them wet. Dry them afterward to keep the finish at its best.
Storage
Between wears
- Store dry, ideally in the keepsake pouch your order arrives in.
- Keep charms clasped rather than loose, so the enamel faces do not rub against each other.
- If you rotate sets, give the one you are not wearing its own pouch or pocket.
The gold finish
Caring for the gold
Real 18k gold plating, a warm rich tone over 316L stainless steel. It's real gold plating over stainless steel rather than solid gold, so treat it the way you'd treat fine jewelry and it keeps its glow for years.
Looking after it's simple. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wear, put perfume and lotion on before your jewelry rather than after, and keep it away from chlorine and harsh cleaners.
If you'd rather have the bare metal, choose silver, which is the same 316L steel with nothing over it.
