Stainless Steel Jewelry Care
MATERIAL
Our jewelry is made from high quality 316L stainless steel, with mirror polising, and every piece is carefully crafted with attention to every detail. We are using PVD ( vacuum plating) plating Rose Gold & Gold plating to ensure that the plating lasts for years and doesn‘t change color.
JEWELRY CARE
Taking care of your jewelry will help ensure its beauty, lustre and longevity. After some time Stainless steel can tarnish when exposed to the open air. Do not worry, tarnishing is a natural process and can easily be cleaned. We recommend to put off your jewelry before taking a shower, hot tub, pool or when washing hands. Also we advice you to remove jewelry when doing any physical activity. Contact with harsh chemicals will result in compromising the integrity of your jewelry. Chlorine, cleaning agents, salt water, perfumes and silver polish can speed up the oxidation process.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Jewelry
Stainless steel jewelry is pretty easy to clean. Simply follow these steps:
1. Pour some warm water in a small bowl, and add some mild dishwashing soap.
2. Dip a soft, lint-free cloth in the soapy water, and then gently wipe the stainless steel jewelry with the damp cloth until the piece is clean.
When cleaning it, rub the item along its polish lines.
3. Wipe the remaining soap off your jewelry using a moist cloth dipped in clean water.
4. Dry the jewelry well with a clean towel, and then leave your pieces to air dry.
After your stainless steel jewelry is clean, you can use a jewelry polish or a polishing cloth to shine it.
Some people use toothpaste to clean the especially dirty spots of their stainless steel pieces.
Keep in mind, however, that toothpaste is abrasive. If you decide to use it for cleaning, make sure it is a non-whitening brand that does not contain silica, and use a soft cloth to rub the paste onto your pieces.
Don’t forget to rinse the jewelry thoroughly after you are done.
An alternative to these cleaning methods is to purchase a stainless steel cleaner from the store and follow the instructions on the package. You can also buy a regular jewelry cleaner whose label says that it can be used on stainless steel — this brand seems to be suitable.
Although stainless steel jewelry doesn’t tarnish or corrode and doesn’t require special care, it can scratch.
That’s why you should wear and store your pieces in a way that minimizes any contact with other items that can damage your stainless steel jewelry.
If your jewelry does get scratched, you can always have it professionally polished by a jeweler.
Store your stainless steel pieces separately from jewelry made of other metals. It is best if you keep your stainless steel items in individual bags or pouches.
