to care for your gold jewelry, a good gold polishing cloth or mild soap
works great. it is best to avoid abrasive materials like a terry cloth, bath towel or a t-shirt to polish your jewelry. always pat dry- do not rub!
we recommend avoiding direct contact between your jewelry and any harsh chemicals, which can be found in perfumes, cosmetics, and soaps, as they can cause the finish to darken much more quickly than they should. we do not guarantee that once a piece has darkened due to exposure it can be saved, which is why we strongly encourage and recommend proper care to enjoy your jewelry for years to come.
silver jewelry should be removed before being exposed to water. any
exposure to chemicals and certain environments can also cause the silver to darken. we recommend using a mild soap and water mixture or a silver cleaning solution to polish and restore luster. for a more advanced cleaning you can use a soft polishing cloth.
*although it is rare, sometimes individual body chemistries can react
with the metal and cause reaction. pregnancy, hormone levels, and medications can affect our body alkalinity versus acidity, and could cause a reaction to your jewelry.
to keep your more than me jewelry looking beautiful for years to come we recommend storing your jewelry in the pouch you received with your order.
make sure to thoroughly dry your gold items after getting them wet. you can do this with a soft non abrasive cloth.
*note that gold filled items can tarnish when coming in contact with lotions, perfumes and other products containing certain chemicals. grace + goldie is not responsible for any tarnishing that may occur due to improper care.
