Care & Cleaning

• Our handcrafted jewelry features either a Nano-Ceramic E-Coating (on natural silver pieces, to protect them from tarnishing) or a clear high-end lacquer (blackened pieces, to protect their patina).

      Our chains are un-coated and un-lacquered.

 

• Simply clean with a damp soft cloth. To remove buildup, use warm water, a squeeze of mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush.

​

• Do not use any commercial jewelry cleaners or harsh chemicals. They are not needed and can harm the e-coating and lacquer.

​

• Do not place coated, lacquered, or blackened jewelry into an ultrasonic cleaner! The vibration will likely damage the protective coating, lacquer and patina.

​

• Since salt, chlorine, and some solutions can damage precious metals and lacquer, please remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, using a jacuzzi, or washing your hands.

 

• Avoid hitting jewelry against hard surfaces (at the gym, file cabinets, etc.).

​

• Coatings can wear thin over time, depending on how the coated jewelry is cared for and maintained,    and may need to be re-applied.

​

• Please note, the black patina featured on our jewelry is a surface finish, like a deep tarnish. It needs a little extra protection. Avoid hitting and scratching the pieces, which can remove the blackened layer. Please keep the pieces in their supplied small pouches when storing them or traveling.

•  We ship a polishing cloth with every order containing a natural color chain. Readily available silver cleaners can also be used to remove tarnish from the chains. We like "Wright's Silver Cream", available at most hardware stores, or online.
