JEWELRY CARE GUIDE

 

 

All pieces are handmade in unique or small editions here on Maui, Hawaii.

Please store your piece in the small, airtight plastic pouch you receive with your purchase. Over time, this will prevent the natural oxidation that darkens precious metals, especially silver under gold in “Vermeil” pieces.

We use natural gemstones, which will break if you drop them, so treat them carefully, especially the larger stones. We do not accept returns on stones that are damaged due to breakage.

Natural gemstones and pearls should not be exposed to chemicals such as chlorine, perfume, hairspray, body lotion, soap, and sunscreen. Apply these first, then wait a few minutes before putting on your jewelry.

Some gems, such as coral and turquoise, are sensitive to sun exposure and will change or lose color when exposed to it for long periods. Therefore, it is recommended that they be stored in a closed jewelry box away from light sources.

We do not recommend wearing any jewelry in the ocean or pool.

 

PEARLS

Pearl jewelry should never come into contact with chemicals like hairspray, perfume, cleaners, and pool chlorine, as these can damage their surface luster. Always remove jewelry before washing your hands, showering, or swimming. The acidic pH levels in sweat and these other factors can dull pearls. Clean pearls using mild, non-chemical soap and polish them with a soft cloth.

Always remove opal jewelry before it comes into contact with water or hard surfaces. Avoid sudden changes in temperature and humidity. Clean it only with a soft, clean cloth, and never submerge opals in any water, including saltwater. Do not place them in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner, and avoid exposing them to chemicals or alcohol.

By following our care instructions, you will enjoy your new jewelry for a long time!
