Jewelry Care
Our 316L Stainless Steel based jewelry is tarnish and water resistant. Avoid contact with strong chemicals and cleaning agents (detergent, bleach, perfume) as these solutions may damage the layer of gold or silver plating and will cause tarnishing or discoloration.
Keep your jewelry pristine and clean by wiping them down with a scratch-free cloth for a smudge-free shine. You can use mild soap and room temperature water with a soft cloth to cleanse your jewelry. Dry completely before storing. To remove tarnish from 925 Sterling Silver jewelry, use a mild solution of baking soda and water.
Your jewelry will be delivered in a Mint & Lily box perfect for gifting!
