Sterling Silver maintenance
Sterling Silver is a precious metal that naturally tarnishes over time. This chemical process is unrelated to quality and easily reversible.
Cleaning
Sterling Silver may tarnish faster when exposed to detergents, cosmetics, humidity, or sweat. Use a silver polishing cloth regularly to remove tarnish and restore shine. Silver polishing cloths are available at most jewelry stores. Professional polishing may be required for deeper tarnish. Do not hesitate to ask your jeweller or jewelry store for assistance.
Usage
Avoid contact with rough surfaces and abrasive materials. Apply makeup, cosmetics, lotions, and perfumes before putting on your jewelry. Avoid wearing your Sterling Silver jewelry in swimming pools and spas. Jewelry should be removed for sports, manual labour or housework.
Storage
Keep Sterling Silver in an airtight container (plastic bag) to slow oxidation and prevent scratches. Do not stack or pile pieces together.
Gold maintenance
14k Gold is a durable precious metal, resistant to tarnish, water, and sweat.
Cleaning
If necessary, clean 14k Gold with warm water and a small amount of mild soap. Gently rub the pieces with your fingers or a soft cloth to remove dirt and residue. For a more thorough clean, soak your jewelry in warm water with a small amount of mild soap, and gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Usage
While 14k Gold can withstand daily wear, avoid contact with rough surfaces and abrasive materials.
Storage
Keep 14k Gold in an airtight container (plastic bag) to prevent scratches. Do not stack or pile pieces together.
Pearls maintenance
Freshwater pearls of organic origin are delicate, natural gems.
Cleaning
Gently wipe your pearls with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt.
Usage

Storage
Keep your pearls jewelry in a dry, clean place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in an airtight container (plastic bag). Do not stack or pile pieces together.
