Let's talk about demi-fine jewelry & how to keep it looking its best!
Sterling silver and gold vermeil will tarnish gently over time. Oxidation is natural and is caused by many things such as exposure to air, our environment, cosmetics/lotions, and the chemical make up of our bodies. #SCIENCE. To protect your jewelry from exposure to air, we suggest keeping it in air-tight plastic bags when not being worn. If plastic bag storage is not realistic, keep it in a closed jewelry box. (Double points for doing both!) We include baggies & a pouch with jewelry purchases to give you these tools. Plus, storing jewelry individually prevents tangles and scratches!
We sell a jewelry cleaning pen & a jewelry cleaning foam that work on gold vermeil, sterling silver, and fine jewelry. Use them to keep your pieces looking like new!
Some general quick tips we always advise:
- Avoid sweating, swimming, and showering in your jewelry
- Wait until after you've applied lotions, perfumes, hairspray, etc. to put on your jewelry
- Separate jewelry into individual bags/pouches when storing and traveling
