JEWELRY CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Gold Filled & Silver Filled Jewelry

Gold Filled and Silver Filled jewelry are made by bonding a thick layer of precious metal over a base metal, creating durable and beautiful pieces when properly cared for. Like all plated or layered jewelry, they require routine care to preserve their appearance over time.

Following the guidelines below will help extend the life and beauty of your jewelry.

GENERAL CARE GUIDELINES

1. Avoid contact with chemicals
Remove your jewelry before exposure to chemicals such as cleaning products, chlorine, bleach, alcohol, lotions, hair products, and cosmetics. These substances can accelerate wear and affect the surface finish.

2. Apply products before wearing jewelry
Perfumes, creams, and sprays should be applied and allowed to dry completely before putting on your jewelry. Direct contact with alcohol-based products may contribute to premature wear.

3. Remove jewelry before water exposure
Avoid wearing jewelry while showering, swimming, washing dishes, or exercising. Water, sweat, and humidity may reduce longevity over time.

4. Clean gently and regularly
Clean your jewelry using mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing agents.

5. Dry completely before storing
Moisture is one of the main factors that affects plated and filled jewelry. Always ensure pieces are fully dry before storage.

6. Store properly
Store jewelry in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat. Ideally, keep pieces separated to avoid scratching or friction between items.

IMPORTANT CARE FOR RINGS

Rings naturally experience more wear than other jewelry due to frequent contact with hands, surfaces, and chemicals. Proper care is especially important.

1. Remove rings during daily activities
Always remove rings before:

Washing hands
Cleaning
Cooking
Exercising
Sleeping
Using hand sanitizers or soaps

Frequent exposure to water and friction is the most common cause of premature wear on rings.

2. Avoid impact and friction
Rings are more susceptible to scratches and surface wear due to constant contact with objects. Avoid knocking or rubbing rings against hard surfaces.

3. Hand sanitizer and soaps
Alcohol-based hand sanitizers and repeated hand washing can significantly reduce the lifespan of Gold Filled and Silver Filled rings. Removing rings before use is strongly recommended.

4. Storage for rings
When not in use, store rings separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratching and unnecessary friction.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Gold Filled and Silver Filled jewelry are not solid gold or solid silver. While they are designed for durability, normal wear over time is expected, especially for rings and frequently worn items. Proper care significantly helps preserve the finish, but longevity depends on individual use and maintenance.
