💛 Gold-Filled Jewelry Care

Gold-filled jewelry is durable and tarnish-resistant, but it still deserves some TLC.

DO:
✔ Clean gently with a soft cloth or mild soap and warm water
✔ Pat dry thoroughly after showers or swims
✔ Store separately if removed (to prevent scratching)

AVOID:
✖ Harsh chemicals (chlorine, bleach, cleaning products)
✖ Prolonged exposure to saltwater or sweat
✖ Abrasive scrubs or rough polishing cloths

TIP:
Your natural skin oils actually help maintain gold-filled jewelry’s shine! Wear it with confidence.

🪞 Sterling Silver Jewelry Care

Sterling silver may darken over time (this is natural!), but with proper care, it stays gorgeous.

DO:
✔ Gently clean with a silver-safe polishing cloth
✔ Use mild dish soap and warm water for buildup
✔ Dry thoroughly—moisture speeds up tarnishing

AVOID:
✖ Sulfur (found in hot springs and some beauty products)
✖ Harsh chemicals and perfumes
✖ Storing in damp environments

TIP:
Wearing your silver jewelry often actually helps reduce tarnish. Just give it a quick clean now and then!
