Wearing your jewelry: We don’t recommend wearing your pieces in chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or the ocean. However, wearing your pieces in the shower/bath occasionally is fine as long as you are drying them off afterwards. We suggest removing your jewelry before sleeping to avoid any accidental yanking from tossing and turning that may happen while sleeping. Apply any cosmetics, creams, oils, etc. prior to putting your jewelry on. Avoid excessive contact with sunscreen as the chemicals in most sunscreens can be pretty harsh on most metals. Cleaning your jewelry: All metals can be cleaned regularly by letting them soak in a mixture of lukewarm water and mild dish soap for 10-15min and the wiping them off gently with a soft cloth. Pat dry and then lay out until fully dry before wearing or storing your jewelry. You can also wipe them down with the microfiber cloth included in your order if you need a quick clean, but don’t have the time to soak them. The cloth will help remove oils from skin or any skincare products that were transferred to your jewelry during daily wear.
