How to Wear
The more intentional you are about caring for your jewelry, the longer it will last.
Remove your jewelry before doing any activity that risks physical damage.
As a general care tip, your jewelry should be the last thing you put on before going out and the first thing you remove upon coming home.
How to Store

Store pieces separately to avoid damage.
Ensure pieces are completely dry before storing.
Certain metals, like vermeil and sterling silver, can be prone to tarnishing. Rather than the packaging that came with your purchase, we recommend storing your pieces in our Leather Jewelry Boxes, which are lined with an anti-tarnish microsuede fabric that makes care and cleaning even easier.
How to Clean
Proactive maintenance is the easiest way to care for your jewelry.
Regularly cleaning your pieces helps to avoid the residue buildup that can dull the original shine.
