Thick gold plating (minimum 2.5 microns) over nickel-free sterling silver. More hypoallergenic than standard gold plating. Avoid exposure to perfume, chlorine, and water to extend its life.

Gold filled has an actual layer of gold pressure bonded to another metal. It contains 5% gold, is tarnish resistant, durable, safe for metal allergies, and lasts 10–30 years. Much more valuable than gold plating.

Warm water and mild, ammonia- and phosphate-free dishwashing soap. Use as first line of defense and before any other method.

Mix 1/2 cup lemon juice with 1 tsp olive oil. Dip a microfiber cloth, wring out, polish the silver, rinse, and dry.

Place aluminum foil in a pan, add 2-3 inches of water, 1 tsp baking soda & 1 tsp salt, bring to a boil. Add silver pieces, boil 1-2 minutes. Remove, rinse, dry and buff with a soft polishing cloth. Do NOT use this method on silver with stones.

Never use chemicals on rhodium plated items. Never use toothpaste or a hard toothbrush.

Coating silver with a fine layer of rhodium increases durability and brilliance — your silver will look like white gold. Rhodium plating prevents tarnishing and scratching.

Some silversmiths intentionally darken parts of jewelry to make details stand out. This detailing can be lost with excessive cleaning. Identify oxidized pieces and clean them separately.

Never use any chemicals on rhodium plated items. Never use toothpaste and never brush with a hard toothbrush.

Store sterling silver and precious jewelry in a dry place — a jewelry box or silver pouch. For added protection, use air-tight, anti-tarnish bags to block air exposure and preserve shine.

Use a special jewelry case to keep pieces safe. Bring a polishing cloth to touch up jewelry on the go.

While it's not recommended to shower with your jewelry on, an occasional shower won't cause significant damage. Dry your jewelry thoroughly afterward to avoid moisture buildup, which can tarnish some materials over time.

Remove your gold and silver jewelry before swimming. Chlorine in pools can weaken ring prongs and damage metal. If you forget, rinse and clean immediately.

Higher chlorine concentrations and heat accelerate tarnishing and damage. Avoid wearing jewelry in hot tubs.

Hot Springs: Sulfur in natural hot springs can discolor and oxidize silver jewelry. Avoid wearing silver in hot springs unless you want a dark oxidized look.

Chemicals (Lotions, Perfumes & Sprays): Apply these products first, let them dry completely, then put on your jewelry to prevent tarnishing and discoloration.
