Maintenance and Care
/

To keep your jewelry looking new, we encourage you to store your pieces in an air tight container like a plastic bag or box. Because our items are .925 sterling silver, they are prone to natural oxidization by exposure to air. Wiping down your jewelry with a cleaning cloth after use will help maintain the sparkle. Avoid soap, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals while wearing your items.

Materials & Plating
/

We only using .925 sterling silver as a base metal for all of our products. In addition, all items undergo an additional plating. For silver items, they are coated with an anti-tarnish finish that will help prolong the natural oxidization process. Our yellow and rose gold undergo an 18kt plating process and are heavily coated with 1.0 micron of plating, which is a higher quality than the standard plating process.
