JEWELRY CARE
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’ll 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
will come with a small sunshine cloth to keep your earrings looking new. Holding the earring by the post, put it face down on the cloth and swipe a few times from side to side. It really only takes a few seconds and your studs can look shiny & new everyday.
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.
