Carefully maintained
925/- Silver
I treat every piece of jewelry made from 925 sterling silver with an anti-tarnish coating to help it retain its bright color for as long as possible. However, since silver is a natural precious metal, some tarnishing over time is unavoidable.
storage
Please do not expose your jewelry to humid bathroom air for extended periods. It is best to store silver jewelry in a dry, airtight container, such as a jewelry box or the pouch provided.
cleaning
Silver jewelry (without pearls) can be briefly dipped in a silver cleaning solution and then rinsed with water. Cleaning in an ion bath at a jeweler's is particularly gentle.

925 sterling silver, gold plated
storage
Careful maintenance is especially important for gold-plated jewelry. I recommend removing it before showering, cleaning, or even at night to prevent excessive abrasion.
cleaning
Please handle gold-plated jewelry with extra care. A soft cotton cloth is best for cleaning. Avoid rough cloths such as kitchen paper, microfiber cloths, or polishing cloths, as they can damage the gold plating.

storage
Do not place your jewelry on hard surfaces or store it with other jewelry. The velvet lining of a jewelry box or a soft cloth will best protect it from scratches.
cleaning
For heavier soiling, you can place my gold jewelry in a warm, pH-neutral cleaning solution (e.g., mild detergent or neutral dish soap) for about 10 minutes. Then gently clean it with a soft toothbrush, rinse under lukewarm water, and dry with a soft cloth.
