SOLID GOLD & STERLING SILVER:

  • You can wear it anywhere, anytime.
  • To clean it, you have three options:
    • Use a polishing cloth
    • Mix a few drops of detergent-free soap with warm water. One piece at a time, soak your jewelry and the use a very soft brush to lightly clean each piece. Rinse with care and lightly dry the jewelry with a lint-free cloth or paper towel.
    • Go to a jewelry shop to get it polished.

 

18K GOLD VERMEIL:

  • Do not shower with the jewelry while using wash products
