PRESERVATION

Proper Storage

Premium storage preserves beauty and brilliance

Cool & Dry Environment

Store jewelry in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and humidity. These conditions prevent tarnishing and protect delicate finishes.

Soft Pouches & Boxes

Use velvet pouches, soft cloth bags, or compartmentalized jewelry boxes. These prevent scratches and keep pieces separated to avoid tangling.

Airtight Storage

For extended storage, consider airtight containers with anti-tarnish strips. These minimize oxidation and keep your jewelry pristine.

Individual Wrapping

Wrap delicate pieces individually in soft cloth to prevent scratches and tangling. This is especially important for necklaces and bracelets.

MATERIALS

Discover Your Jewelry’s Finish

Each coating offers distinct characteristics and care requirements. Choose the option that best describes your jewelry.

Rhodium Plated

BRILLIANT & LUSTROUS

Appearance

Bright, cool-white, mirror-like finish that reflects light with exceptional brilliance. More lustrous than natural silver.

Durability

Highly resistant to tarnishing. The rhodium layer protects the silver base from oxidation and discoloration.

Care Requirements

Use only warm water and mild soap. Avoid silver polishing cloths and ultrasonic cleaners, as they can wear away the plating.

Platinum Coated

TIMELESS & ENDURING

Appearance

Cool, white, lustrous finish with a sophisticated, timeless aesthetic. More subtle than rhodium but equally elegant.

Durability

Platinum is exceptionally durable and highly resistant to tarnishing. One of the most long-lasting coating options available.

Care Requirements

Clean with warm water and mild soap. Platinum is more resistant to damage, but still avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive tools.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked

Can I wear jewelry in the shower?

It is best to remove your jewelry before showering. Prolonged exposure to water and soap can gradually wear away plating and cause tarnishing.

Natural silver tarnishes due to oxidation when exposed to air and moisture. This is normal and does not damage the jewelry. Clean gently to restore shine.

Clean your jewelry every 2–4 weeks with regular wear. If stored, clean before wearing again. Gentle regular cleaning prevents buildup.

Yes, but only a very soft-bristled toothbrush. Use gentle, circular motions on delicate areas. Avoid hard bristles that can scratch plating.
