♥︎ .925 STERLING SILVER
INFO
.925 silver means that your piece is 92.5% pure silver, and the remaining 7.5% is made up of other metals to give it hardness
none of our silver jewelry is made with plated silver
CARE
Sterling silver will last a lifetime.
After wearing, keep your silver pieces in a cool, dark, airtight place like a jewelry box or plastic bag.
Silver can tarnish if exposed to moisture in the air, turning it black or dark. This is normal!
Once tarnished, don't worry, it can always be polished back to the original shine.
CLEAN
Soak your tarnished sterling silver jewelry in a ½ cup of white vinegar + 2 tablespoons of baking soda. It should fizz! Leave it in this solution for two to three hours, then rinse and pat dry.
For heavily tarnished or intricate sterling silver, buy a soaking solution (look for Hagerty's Silver Polish, which you can find online or at your local hardware store).

♥︎ GOLD VERMEIL
INFO
.925 sterling silver base underneath, coated with a thick layer of 14k gold
14k gold layer is 2.5 microns of thickness
14k gold vermeil is a high quality material that is an economical alternative to solid gold
CARE
The lifetime of your gold vermeil jewelry depends on how often it is worn and exposed to humidity, water, soap, perfumes, makeup, + sunscreen.
Pieces will last forever when worn with care. To extend the vibrancy of your jewelry, remove gold vermeil jewelry when showering or swimming.
Avoid direct application of makeup or sunscreen on top of jewelry.
With hard-wearing and frequent exposure to water, the gold may eventually wear off, revealing the sterling silver base material underneath.
CLEAN
Wipe with a soft cloth after wearing. Soak it for a few minutes in warm, soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth as needed.

♥︎ SOLID 14k GOLD (available upon request)
INFO
14k yellow gold consists of 58% gold, 31% copper, 10% silver, and 1% zinc
14k gold is a forever material that only gets better over time
CARE
Solid gold is one of the most long-lasting materials available for fine jewelry. With care, 14k solid gold will last forever.
If you have an active lifestyle, solid gold is a great choice. It can withstand most elements, including being worn daily in the shower or while swimming.
It will retain the warmth and color and only gets better with time. Avoid sharp or abrasive surfaces, as gold can scratch or dent with rough usage.
CLEAN
Soak it for a few minutes in warm, soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth as needed.
