Cleaning Your Jewelry
The Warm Soap Method (Recommended)
Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the stone and setting. Rinse thoroughly under warm running water and dry with the included polishing cloth. Repeat monthly or whenever the stone looks dull.
Ultrasonic Cleaner (Safe for Moissanite)
Unlike diamonds, moissanite can safely be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner. This is the most effective method for removing built-up oils and residue from the setting. Use with plain water or a jewelry-safe solution.
Never Use These
Bleach, acetone, toothpaste, baking soda, or any abrasive cleaner. These can damage the rhodium plating on sterling silver pieces and dull the metal finish over time.
Storage
Store each piece individually in the provided dust bag or the original gift box. This prevents scratching from contact with other jewelry. Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity when storing for extended periods.
For long-term storage (months), place a small anti-tarnish strip in the box to protect sterling silver pieces.
About Your Metal
925 Sterling Silver
Rhodium-plated for tarnish resistance. The plating may gradually wear in high-contact areas after years of daily wear — this is normal and can be replated by any jeweler for a minimal cost.
Gold Vermeil
A thick layer of 18k gold over sterling silver. More durable than gold-plated. Avoid prolonged exposure to water and perfume to maintain the finish for longer.
