The best advice for keeping your jewelry looking fresh;

DO NOT SLEEP IN YOUR EARRINGS

DO NOT SHOWER IN YOUR EARRINGS

DO NOT STORE YOUR EARRINGS IN THE BATHROOM

I know you’re going to ignore this easy advice because you’re busy living but hey, at least I tried.

POLISH ONLY THE METAL // DO NOT POLISH OR DIP STONES

Seriously, this is important; DO NOT POLISH THE STONES! If you’re using a cleaner, liquid or cloth, avoid polishing the rock part because this will actually do the opposite and dull the stone.

Sterling Silver 

Sterling has a bad habit of tarnishing over time with exposure to moisture & chemicals. If your sterling jewelry is looking dull, simply clean with warm water + gentle dishwashing soap. Add a little elbow grease if needed and brush with a soft toothbrush, gently. Be sure to rinse well and dry with a polishing cloth or a soft piece of cotton. To prevent permanent dulling of your Wild Balance jewelry, avoid polishing with paper towels or tissues, which causes tiny marks that dull the metal over time. Reminder: DO NOT polish stones.

STUDS

come with a small sunshine cloth to keep your earring looking like new. Holding it by the post, put the earring face down on the cloth and swipe a few times side to side. It seriously only takes a couple seconds and your studs can look shiny + new everyday.

Remember to store studs on their side, or just not face down, this will help slow the tarnish process. When they are looking a little rough, polish with a soft polishing cloth OR cotton cloth + jewelry cleaning solution or try windex/ammonia.  

14K Gold Fill

Gold Fill is a thick layer of gold mechanically bonded to sterling silver. This material is not plated. It will not flake or rub off and can be gold forever with correct care.When it gets dingy or dull, simply rinse with soap and water. Or take it to the next level and spritz with rubbing alcohol, ammonia or Windex, then give it a rinse in cold water. Polish with a shredded piece of your ex boyfriend’s flannel or any other soft, cotton cloth. Reminder: DO NOT polish stones.

ANTIQUE Brass   

is brass that has been oxidized for a rustic finish. This patina will fade over time if exposed to water or irritation ( sleeping, showering, sweating, swimming.) If you would like to keep this rustic look avoid wearing your jewelry during the aforementioned activities.
