CARE TIPS
- Always remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, doing household chores, strenuous activities, exercising or using abrasive cleaners.
- Gold-plated jewelry should be wiped down with a damp cloth after use to remove smudges and stains. We recommended to do a more thorough cleaning after exposure to alcohol, acids and sulfur compounds that could potentially cause the metals to tarnish and change their color. Allow the pieces to briefly air-dry before storing.
- Remove lotions, make-up and soil from your hands before touching your gold-plated pieces, and avoid direct contact with beauty products such as perfume, essential oils, hairspray, lotions, body oils and other cosmetics while wearing your favorite jewelry.
- When your jewelry is not is use, we recommend storing it in an airtight plastic zip-lock bag, and put it inside the cloth bag provided with each purchase to avoiding tarnishing. In addition, store your jewelry separately from each other to minimize scratching and tangling.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
- Cleaning Your Jewelry
If you need to clean your jewelry, we recommend using a mild soap, water and a soft bristled brush (such as toothbrush). Rinse clean and pat dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT clean your jewelry daily as it can caused the gold plate to wear off faster, and eventually tarnish in a short time.
- Create a Cleaning Solution
If the jewelry has visible soil or feels sticky or stained, we recommend cleaning it with a warm, soapy solution. Mix 1 cup of warm water, 1 cup of cold water, and 1 – 2 squirts of dishwashing liquid in a small bowl. - Tackle Embedded Soil
For pieces that are intricately carved, we recommend using a cotton swab to remove any soil from small crevices and corners. Never use a sharp tool (like a knife or paper clip) to remove the dirt because they can scratch away the gold plating.
Alternatively and for more persistent stains, use simple white toothpaste and a soft toothbrush to clean your jewelry pieces. Make sure to rinse with running water.
- Rinse, Dry and Buff
When the piece is clean, rinse the jewelry in warm water. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth and buff gently to return the shine. Et voila! Enjoy your sparkly clean jewelry piece! - What not to use
Do not use metallic brushes, corrosive cleaning solutions (such bleach and chlorine), or paper towels and tissues.
STORING YOUR JEWELRY
- Securely store in non-abrasive or velvet like pouches and fabric lined jewelry boxes
- Avoid keeping multiple pieces together
HOW TO CORRECT CLEANING MISTAKES ON GOLD-PLATED JEWELRY
If the worst has happened, and the gold plating has worn away so that the base metal is exposed, you can have your jewelry replated. Contact us at support@sanandakryst.design and ask about replate.
