Jewelry Care
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY PIECES:
GOLD FILLED:
Go head, get it wet, wear it for life! We do recommend you remove these pieces in saltwater or chlorine as they can be harsh on metals. Wearing it while using basic lotions is okay, remove it when putting on anything strong- retinol, peels, glycolic acid etc.
GOLD-PLATED, GOLD VERMEIL AND STERLING SILVER PLATED:
We recommend you keep it dry and away from skincare products. Remove your pieces to shower, swim, and avoid coming into contact with lotions and creams.
We plate our pieces with a layer of gold that is 20x the industry standard and use a protective coating to prevent tarnishing. These additional steps will help extend the life of your piece. Storage tip- keep it in a plastic bag to help avoid moisture in the air.
STERLING SILVER:
When exposed to oxygen, Sterling Silver naturally oxidizes over time. We recommend you store your jewelry in an airtight baggie- your Electric Picks bag is a great choice! If your pieces oxidize, use a silver polishing cloth to bring back their original shine.
FRESHWATER PEARLS:
Freshwater pearls are extremely durable, and if cared for properly, will retain the original color, luster and orient for decades to come. Pearls should never be submerged in water and should be removed before applying lotions, creams and perfumes. Pearls actually benefit from body moisture so wear them often to keep them looking their best!
