FAQ's

How to care for my jewelry?

Caring for your jewelry:

• Do not throw or drop jewelry onto hard surfaces
• Avoid direct contact with sprays—hairspray, perfume, etc.
• Remove your jewelry while showering, swimming or exercising
• Do not place directly in water for an extended period of time
• Never use chemical cleaners or polishes, these are not intended for plated pieces and will strip the finish.
• Clean and polish with a soft, dry cloth
• Store jewelry flat in its organza bag to prevent bending or scratched crystals

Cleaning your jewelry:

• A simple cleaning technique is to gently brush your jewelry with a soft brush (try an old toothbrush!) and warm, soapy water. We suggest using a mild dish soap when cleaning.
• Make sure you dry your jewelry thoroughly, and do not leave it sitting in water, or sitting wet for more than a few minutes.
• Do not use an at-home jewelry bath/machine for cleaning your jewelry. Prolonged exposure to water and cleaning solutions will dull and darken the special coatings we use on our crystals.

Can I use a polish cloth on my jewelry?

We suggest you avoid using polishing cloths on your jewelry. These cloths are embedded with an abrasive polishing compound that can damage the plating of our pieces and the coatings on our crystals.

Is your jewelry hypo-allergenic?

Our jewelry meets all modern standards for adult jewelry in the USA. 

Everyone has a different body chemistry, and some people may be allergic, or uniquely irritated by certain metals.

The crystals used are not lead free, however our settings that touch the skin are lead and nickel-free.
