To get the longest wear from your piece we recommend a few of the following care tips: - store in a cool, dry place. Jewelry box or pouch is prefered- always clasp your items closed when storing to avoid tangles and knots- although our 14k gold piece can be exposed to water and various elements without tarnish it is always best to remove when bathing, swimming, working out and participating in any physical activity that may expose your piece to excessive pressure, or force as it may compromise the links, stone setting or scratch your piece. - To keep your Zoe Lev Piece looking its best, we recommend cleaning your items with mild soap and water or with a polishing cloth.
