Care by Metal Type
316L Surgical Stainless Steel
- Waterproof and tarnish-resistant
- Safe for daily wear

Perfect for sensitive ears and long-term wear.
Niobium
- 100% hypoallergenic

Safe, simple, long-lasting.
.925 Sterling Silver
- May naturally darken over time (normal oxidation)
- Polish gently with a silver polishing cloth
- Store in a dry, sealed jewelry pouch
- Avoid chlorine, sulfur, and heavy moisture
Real silver brightens easily with polishing.
Gold Vermeil (Thick Gold Over Silver)
- Avoid water, perfumes, lotions, and sweat
- Remove before showering or exercising
- Clean gently with a dry soft cloth (no abrasives)
- Store separately to protect the gold layer
Fine-jewelry quality, but needs gentle care.
PVD Gold & IP Gold Over Stainless Steel
- Much more durable than regular plating
- Waterproof & sweat-resistant
- Clean with a soft cloth and gentle soap
- Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads
Long-lasting gold that holds up to daily life.
Storage
- Store jewelry in a cool, dry place
- Use soft pouches or separate compartments
- Keep away from direct sunlight, humidity, and dust
Tip: A small silica packet in your jewelry box helps prevent tarnish!
Quick Clean Method (Safe for Most Metals)
- Mix warm water with mild dish soap
- Let jewelry soak 1–2 minutes
- Gently wipe with a soft cloth
- Rinse & pat dry
- Buff lightly to restore shine
Avoid this method for gold vermeil — stick to a dry cloth for those pieces.
