Caring for your jewelry
-
*Solid gold rings (10k, 14k gold) are forever pieces that do not tarnish. Clean with soapy water and a soft brush in between crevices to wash away any accumulated dirt from daily wear. Your order comes with a microfiber jewelry polishing cloth - use this to brighten and shine as desired.
*925 silver requires little to no care as they are forever pieces. Follow the same instructions for silver ring cleaning care above. Your order comes with a microfiber jewelry polishing cloth - use this to brighten and shine as desired.
Gold plated rings have a 925 silver base that is ‘double plated’ with a 3 micron layer of 14k gold. Treat these as costume jewelry. They will not tarnish though over time the layer of gold will fade in the most exposed areas. Take them off when sleeping, washing hands, and engaging in activities that can excessively scratch your rings. Re-plating to re-birth your gold finish is a wonderful service to take advantage of.

All earrings may be worn daily. Take them off every now and then to brush away sweat and dirt that can naturally accumulate at the back of the ear.

Gold and silver chains may be worn daily, including in water, though should be cleansed of accumulated sweat every once in a while. Do this with a soft toothbrush or a polishing cloth. Daintier chains should be taken off while exercising to avoid pulling. All wire elements in Mala’s are solid 14k gold and will not tarnish.
-
Custom hand chains may be worn daily, though this is the area of the body that experiences the most fluctuations throughout the day, as we regularly wash our hands, sweat, and apply products. Specifically, if your gem beads are clear or translucent, sweat and dirt from washing hands will accumulate in their holes and will gather dark dirt inside over time. To avoid this, treat your hand chains like they are precious and remove them while exercising, cooking, and cleaning.
