General Jewelry Care Tips
-
Remove before activity: Take off your jewelry when exercising, swimming, showering, cleaning, or doing any strenuous activity.
-
Store properly: Use a soft cloth bag or jewelry box to prevent scratches and preserve finish.
-
Avoid chemicals: Keep your pieces away from perfumes, lotions, household
cleaners, and solvents.
Micro Inlay Jewelry
Delicate and intricate, Micro Inlay jewelry needs extra care:
-
Avoid exposure to heat, water, and oils—these can weaken the epoxy bond.
-
Never dip inlay jewelry in tarnish remover; instead, use a polishing cloth.
-
Always store it separately to avoid dings and scratches.
Prong-Set Gemstone Jewelry
These dainty designs shine best with mindful handling:
-
Remove when sleeping, exercising, washing hands, or doing any physical work.
-
Be cautious not to snag the prongs—this can loosen the stone.
-
Inspect prongs regularly for wear.
Meteorite Jewelry (Pallasites & Iron Meteorites)
Meteorites are cosmic treasures and require special care to prevent rust:
-
Most pieces come with a rhodium or clear protective coating—handle gently.
-
Avoid high humidity and moisture exposure.
-
Store uncoated meteorites in dry, airtight containers and handle only with gloves.
-
Clean gently with a dry cloth—never use water or soap.
Gemstone Beaded Bracelets
To keep your gemstone bracelets energetically and physically vibrant:
-
Clean with warm water and mild soap using a soft cloth.
-
Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
-
Restringing: If the elastic starts to loosen or fray, contact us! We’ll restring your bracelet—often for free if intact, or for a nominal fee ($5–$10) depending on the style.
-
Recharge: Cleanse and charge your stones regularly to maintain their healing properties.
Adjustable Silver Chains
These versatile essentials require a gentle touch:
-
Adjust by holding the sphere gasket and pulling the chain tail—do not tug on the front chain or split ring.
-
Polish regularly with a silver-specific polishing cloth.
-
Store in a dry, low-humidity area to reduce tarnish.
-
Fun fact: Wearing silver often actually helps prevent tarnish through natural friction!
Sterling Silver Care Tips
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes, especially when exposed to salt air or products containing sulfur (like rubber bands and certain papers). However, silver that is regularly worn or used tends to tarnish less — so we encourage you to enjoy your silver every day.
Cleaning Your Silver
-
Hand wash only in warm water with mild detergent.
-
Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
-
Avoid harsh chemical dips and electrolytic cleaning methods (like baking soda, salt, and foil).
-
Use our Rare Earth Gallery polishing cloth for safe, effective shine.
Storage Tips
Once clean and dry, store silver in a dry place, away from moisture and sulfur-rich materials.
