Jewelery Care

Care Commandments

Care Commandments ✦ 1. Thou Shalt bathe bare: Late Night swims & skinny dips are for you, not your jewels. ✦ 2. Thou Shalt mind the chemistry: Precious metals & porous gems (such as turquoise) shalt not vibe with ammonia, chlorine, & other chemical solvents found in cleaners, perfumes, & Lotions. ✦ 3. Thou Shalt Buff with Love: Polish with a 100% cotton cloth or a special jewelry cleaning cloth. ✦ 4.

Thou shalt be easy, baby: vintage and hand-made gems are fragile. please wear with care. ✦ 6. Thou shalt keep it wild.

Jewelry Storage

To prevent your Gold-Filled, Gold-Plated, and Silver jewelry from oxidizing, we recommend storing in a sealed and contained glass or plastic jewelry box in a dry and cool climate, or in one of our Anti-Tarnish Bags. Avoid storing your jewelry in their black CW jewelry boxes as these can lock in and harness moisture and cause the metal to oxidize.

About metals

Everyone has different sensitivities to metals depending on their body’s chemistry. Literally, everyone is different. We list the type of metal and plating on every product page. If you are sensitive to metals we do not recommend plated jewelry. It is up to you to know if you have an allergy to base metals or brass. Not all types of jewelry are meant to be worn everyday, therefore jewelry can tarnish with wear. Plated jewelry should only be worn on occasion. We never recommend wearing jewelry in the shower, working out, washing your hands, sleeping or depending on the metal, on a daily basis. If you are looking to wear your jewelry everyday we recommend solid sterling silver, solid gold, gold filled or vermeil gold. We are not liable for plated jewelry tarnishing after extended wear.
