Jewelry Care Instructions
Below you will find some simple instructions to follow to keep your jewelry looking its best:
Gemstones:
Store gemstones away from high temperatures (heating vents, window sills, or in the car, for example) and sunlight as these factors may fade some stones. Commercial metal cleaners may not be compatible with certain gemstones, such as malachite, coral and turquoise. Always check before applying a cleaner.
Gold Filled:
If cared for properly, the gold filled metals used in Azki Jewelry will wear just like solid gold. It resists tarnishing just like solid gold, but should still be gently cleaned from time to time to keep it looking its best. To keep your gold filled piece looking its best, avoid exposure to perfumes, lotions, hair products, profuse sweating, chlorine, and harsh detergents. Use any skin or hair products before putting on jewelry, and always remove jewelry before swimming, exercising, or washing. You can use gold polish on gold filled, but read the label first and check whether the stones in your piece can safely come into contact with the cleaner.
Sterling Silver:
Sterling silver will tarnish if exposed to perfumes, lotions, hair products, profuse sweating, chlorine and/or harsh detergents (like dishwashing soap). To minimize tarnishing, use any skin or hair products before putting on your jewelry, and always remove jewelry before swimming, exercising or washing. Although sterling silver will tarnish, its lustre can be restored by polishing using a special sterling silver polish, but read the label first and check whether the stones in your piece can safely come into contact with the cleaner. For daily care, wipe sterling silver jewelry clean at the end of the day with a soft cloth and store in an airtight container or baggie.
Handknotted Pieces:
I recommend avoiding contact with water or detergents as this could weaken the silk thread. As handknotted silk pieces tend to be more delicate than those strung on a metal based thread, I also recommend removing the piece prior to sleeping, showering, or exercising.
Gold-plated:
Gold plated jewelry should not tarnish as long as the plating is kept intact. Cleaning it is as simple as washing occasionally with a soft toothbrush and a mild dishwashing detergent, and drying it thoroughly before storing. In between washing, wipe jewelry with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth — never use tissues or paper towels as they could scratch and damage the surface of the gold plating. You may use a commercial gold cleaner on gold-plated jewelry, but read the label first and check whether the stones in your piece can safely come into contact with the cleaner. Gold plating will tarnish if exposed to perfumes, lotions, hair sprays, chlorine or excessive perspiration, so only put on your jewelry after you have applied any skin or hair products, and remove jewelry before swimming, exercising, or washing. Storing jewelry in an airtight container or baggie will help to preserve its shine.
