How to Keep Your Pieces Beautiful
All Adorn to Rise jewelry is made from solid metal, no plating. Metals and stones are natural materials and, like us, change over time. With daily wear, your pieces may collect tiny marks or a patina. Many people love this character as a sign of a lived life.
If you prefer your jewelry to stay bright and shiny, here’s how to care for it.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a bright and beautiful silvery white precious metal.
Sterling silver is made of 92.5% fine silver alloyed with other metals, typically copper, to increase its strength for everyday wear. The small amount of copper is what causes sterling silver to tarnish when exposed to air and moisture. It's a natural chemical reaction and its original shine can be revived.
To Keep It Bright:
- Wear often. Light contact with your skin’s oils can slow tarnish.
- Storage: airtight bag or anti-tarnish strip when you’re not wearing it.
- Light cleaning: polish with a soft jewelry polishing cloth and replace it when the cloth turns dark.
Gold
Gold is highly valued for its anti-corrosive properties and timeless beauty.
Unlike other metals, gold maintains its luster with minimal tarnishing, making it a remarkably low-maintenance choice for jewelry.
To Care:
- Wipe after wearing. A soft cloth brings back shine.
- Occasional clean: soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes, rinse, dry.
- Avoid: chlorine, harsh cleaners, abrasive materials.
Over time, fine scratches will soften and create a gentle patina, not damage. I encourage you to appreciate the beauty of its evolving luster, a reflection of the memories and experiences it carries.
