Basic Care
Base metals such as copper and brass can cause skin discoloration. Avoid water and excess moisture when wearing these metals.
Sterling silver may darken naturally over time. This is normal and can usually be brightened again by polishing gently with a soft cloth.
To help keep your jewelry looking its best, avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, lotions, oils, and harsh cleaning products.
When not worn, store your piece in a cool, dry place, preferably in a jewelry box or pouch.
