Pure water is generally safe for your sterling silver, 10k, and 14k gold pieces. However, the water encountered daily often contains chemicals and contaminants that can lead to tarnishing and a dull appearance on precious metals.
To best protect your jewelry, it is highly recommended to remove it before engaging in activities like swimming in chlorinated pools or spas, washing dishes, or performing work that involves harsh chemicals, detergents, or risks accidental damage.
If you notice your silver jewelry has become dull or tarnished, restoration is simple: you can easily polish it using a silver polishing cloth, available at most jewelry stores. We also include a complimentary polishing cloth with every order.
While opals and pearls possess a natural elegance, they are inherently more delicate than many other gemstones. With conscientious care, however, your jewellery featuring these stones is designed to last a lifetime.
To maintain their beauty, it is vital to keep your opal and pearl pieces safe from impact and chemical exposure. Always remove this jewellery before activities like engaging in sports, swimming (particularly in chemically treated water like chlorine pools), or cleaning with harsh detergents.
An Important Note on Opals: I exclusively use solid opals, avoiding doublets or triplets. This ensures the opal stone itself is durable enough to be fully immersed in naturally chemical-free water, such as the ocean, without risk of damage.
