Our chain and pendant are made with high-quality 14k gold plating over 925 sterling silver, making this necklace a durable, hypoallergenic piece of jewelry for everyday wear.
Gold plating naturally tarnishes over time. Exposure to moisture, sweat, perfumes, lotions, and sulfur speeds this up. With gentle care, your pieces will keep their shine much longer.
-
Keep it dry. Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or washing your hands.
-
Put it on last. Apply perfume, lotion, and hairspray first, and let them dry before wearing your pieces.
-
Store it dry. Keep each piece separately in a dry place with the anti-tarnish strip included in your order.
-
Wipe after wearing. Every piece is treated with an anti-tarnish finish. A quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth removes oils and sweat before they cause tarnish.
-
Skip polishing cloths. Gold plating is too delicate for abrasive cloths. Only use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with very light pressure.
-
Avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners. They can strip the plating.
