Our 925 sterling silver, 999 pure silver, 10K, and 14K gold jewelry is designed for daily wear. Proper simple care will keep your pieces shiny, intact, and long-lasting. Here is our essential care guide.

When to Remove Your Jewelry

Always take off your jewelry during the following activities to avoid scratches, deformation, tarnish, stone loosening and permanent damage:

Sports & Workouts Sweat accelerates silver tarnish. Friction and impact can bend soft 999 silver and loosen gem settings.

Gardening & Housework Dirt scratches polished metal surfaces. Harsh cleaning chemicals cause silver oxidation and gold discoloration.

Cooking Food grease and residue form a dull film on jewelry and weaken its luster.

Swimming, Pools & SpasDo not wear jewelry in water. Saltwater corrodes silver, while chlorine causes permanent damage to both silver and gold. Cold water may also shrink fingers and lead to lost rings.

Showering & Bathing Soap and shampoo residue builds up on metal, leaving a cloudy finish and speeding up silver tarnish.

Avoid Cosmetic Product Buildup

Lotion, sunscreen, perfume and makeup leave oily residue that dulls metal shine and triggers oxidation. Always apply all beauty products first, wait for full absorption, then put on your jewelry.

Specific Care

999 Pure Silver

999 pure silver is ultra-soft and easy to deform. Mild tarnish from air and sweat is normal. Avoid extrusion, dropping and strenuous wear. Clean only with a professional silver polishing cloth; do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.

925 Sterling Silver

Harder and more durable than pure silver, but still prone to tarnish. Wipe with a silver polishing cloth after each wear. For light dirt, clean with warm soapy water and dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.

10K & 14K Gold

10K and 14K solid gold are tarnish-resistant and durable. They turn dull mainly from oil and dust buildup. Avoid chlorine contact to prevent permanent discoloration. Clean monthly with warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush to restore shine.

Daily Storage Tips

Store jewelry in a dry, sealed box or soft individual pouch. Keep silver and gold separated, as hard K-gold may scratch soft silver surfaces. Always keep your storage area dry — humidity is the main cause of silver tarnish.

Regular Inspection

Check gem settings, clasps and bands every six months. Regular inspection effectively prevents loose stones and accidental loss.

Safe At-Home Cleaning

General Cleaning (All Metals): Soak jewelry in warm mild soapy water for 3–5 minutes, gently brush gaps and surfaces, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry completely. Do not air-dry.

Silver Tarnish Removal: Polish lightly with a silver cloth in straight strokes. For heavy tarnish, use mild silver cleaner, then rinse and dry at once.

Note: Use a sink strainer during cleaning to avoid losing small jewelry pieces.

  • Remove jewelry for exercise, cleaning, cooking and all water activities
