Tips on Wearing Jewelry
- Take off your jewelry when playing in the water—chlorine and other chemicals don’t play well with precious metals, and salt water can also cause damage.
- Depending on your body chemistry, sweat can take a toll on your pieces—we recommend that you take ‘em off before working out and other strenuous activity. If you forget, just make sure to clean off your pieces with a bit of mild soap and water and dry it off with a soft cloth afterward.
- Sunscreen can be especially damaging to your pieces. Make sure you take them off when applying sunscreen, and then wait a few minutes for it to soak in before putting them back on. (And don’t forget to wash your hands!) Be sure to give your pieces a good wash after a day of wearing sunscreen to remove any residual product.
- Taking a minute to give your pieces a wash at the end of the day will help remove anything harmful resting on the surface and help extend the life of your jewelry.
Everyday Maintenance (Highly Recommended)
After each wear, gently remove makeup and oils that can transfer from your skin to your jewelry by wiping it clean with a soft cloth. If you know you’ve been sweaty that day or think the piece might have product on it (especially sunscreen!), we highly recommend giving it a quick rinse in lukewarm water and then drying it with a soft cloth. Taking your jewelry off and storing it while you sleep will also increase its longevity, as it reduces exposure to air and natural skin oils.
