Our products are manufactured using high grade .925 sterling silver with anti-tarnish qualities. This significantly reduces the likelihood of tarnishing however occasional polishing is needed. Sterling silver will oxidize over time but with proper cleaning and polishing with a dry lint free cloth a couple of times a month, the jewelry should continue to look brand new and remain tarnish free.

We recommend that you do NOT wear your jewelry in water. Chemicals from swimming pools and hot tubs can compromise the integrity of the metal. Additionally, we suggest that you remove your jewelry before showering or bathing as soaps and lotions can contain chemicals that may harm or damage the surface of the jewelry.

We recommend that you refrain from using jewelry cleaners or abrasive chemicals that may damage the exterior surface of the jewelry and/or compromise the integrity of the jewelry. Instead, a solution of 1/2 cup of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water can be used to remove heavy tarnish. Dry thoroughly and polish with a jeweler’s cloth or a dry lint free cloth. Regular maintenance is the best way to clean your jewelry and will help to keep any oil or dirt build-up from happening on the surface of the jewelry.
