Jewelry Care
Once you invest in cutting edge jewelry that speaks to you, you want to be able to hold on to it forever. Whether it is gold plated jewelry, 925 silver or any other designer silver jewelry, our guide will help you preserve the pieces for as long as possible.
Sterling Silver/ 925 Silver
925 silver jewelry can last a lifetime with the correct care. Although our silver jewelry is treated with high quality anti-tarnish, it is still susceptible to tarnishing in the long term. This is possible especially when exposed to cosmetics, household chemicals, high humidity, and perspiration. To keep your silver earrings, silver necklace, and silver rings safe from damage, follows these tips.
How to prevent tarnish:
- Remove silver jewelry when doing chores.
- Remove while swimming, showering/ sunbathing.
- Remove while exercising.
- Do not expose to high/extreme temperatures such as saunas, steam rooms, or cold plunges.
- Use cosmetics such as lotions, cosmetics, hair spray/products and perfumes before wearing your Etiq pieces.
How to clean:
- A soft microfiber cloth will effectively clean your jewelry.
- Do not use any harsh cleaners, brushes, or washes to clean your jewelry.
How to Store:
- Store your silver designer accessories in a cool, dry place, or in the provided storage pouch.
- We recommend storing each piece of silver jewelry separately so that the pieces don’t get damaged via contact.
Gold Plated Jewelry
Etiq’s gold plating is genuine 18k gold and is certified in Italy for being thicker than conventional vermeil. Our gold-plated silver jewelry displays a new world charm of its own. Carefully crafted with utmost precision and grandiose, each design is well thought of to connect with the discerning people of today. To maintain and prevent gold plated jewelry from fading, follow these tips.
How to prevent tarnish:
- Don’t spray perfumes/sprays while wearing your gold plated rings, earrings, necklaces or bracelets
- Wait till your lotion and cream has been absorbed, before wearing your jewelry
- Remove before bathing/ showering, exercising, swimming etc as water and perspiration can damage the plating
- Keep your gold plated designer jewelry collection away from oil, nail polish, nail polish remover or chlorine
How to clean:
- After every use, clean your gold plated jewelry with a cotton ball or a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust/ fingerprints.
- Avoid heavy polish cloths, jewelry cleaners and antibacterial soaps, as they might cause the plating on your branded jewelry to fade quicker.
How to Store:
- Wrap in a soft cloth
- Store in a dry area
- Keep away from other designer jewelry. A separate box or pouch would be ideal
- Silver plated and gold plated jewelry should not be stored together
- Keep away from moisture
