How to Care for your Jewelry


Maintain the beauty of your Jewelry by taking the appropriate care.


Gold - Jewelry that is designed with 14k Gold or higher can easily be cleanedwith warm soapy water and a soft cloth.  Most Golds will do fine in an Ultrasonic bath; however, use caution with these machines.  Many gemstones are not recommended for an Ultrasonic machine.


Argentium Silver - Argentium Silver is purer than traditional Sterling Silver with 94.0% fine silver.   Argentium is low maintenance silver. Simply wipe away any dust or finger marks with a soft cloth or, for more intricate pieces, wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry immediately. An occasional wipe with a clean silver polishing cloth will help to maintain Argentium Silver’s beautiful shine and lustre.  Never use Silver or Tarnish Dip cleansers on Argentium.


Keum-Boo Jewelry - Keum-Boo is a gilding process where a thin layer of gold is applied to a fine silver surface.  Keum-Boo jewelry should not be put in an Ultrasonic cleaner.  The best cleaning application is by using luke warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush.  Be careful not to scrub to hard and make sure to rinse well.  Hot water should not be used.  A special polishing cloth made specifically for Keum Boo is also a good alternative if the piece has become very dirty.  Do not dip in chemical tarnish removers.
