Jewelry Care Guide
Vintage-inspired and gold-tone costume jewelry should be cared for as styling pieces. A little attention to storage, moisture, and daily wear can help protect the finish, shape, and details of each piece.
Keep Your Jewelry Dry
Keep jewelry away from water, perfume, lotion, hairspray, sweat, cleaning products, and harsh chemicals. Moisture and residue can affect gold-tone finishes, plated surfaces, enamel-style details, and stone-style accents over time.
Store Each Piece Separately
Store statement earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, and clip-on styles separately in a dry place. Soft pouches, divided trays, or individual boxes can help prevent friction, tangling, pressure, and scratches.
Protect Detailed Finishes
Costume and vintage-inspired jewelry is selected for character, silhouette, and styling value. Handle pieces gently, especially designs with stone-style accents, enamel-style details, pearl-style elements, openwork shapes, or sculptural gold-tone surfaces. If a piece needs wiping, use a soft dry cloth only and avoid polishing liquids or abrasive cleaners unless product care details clearly say otherwise.
What to Avoid
Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, sleeping, exercising, cleaning, or applying perfume, lotion, sunscreen, or hairspray. Avoid pulling on chains, pressing large earrings into bags, or storing detailed pieces where they can rub against harder items.
Travel & Storage Tips
When traveling, place each piece in a separate pouch or small compartment. Keep jewelry dry, avoid packing heavy items on top of delicate pieces, and check clasps, clips, and backs before wearing.
