Materials & Care Guide for Aeternam Jewelry
At Aeternam, we take great pride in crafting exquisite jewelry using a combination of high-quality materials, including gold plated, silver, gold filled, and natural non-precious or semi-precious stones. To ensure the longevity and beauty of your cherished pieces, please follow our Materials & Care Guide:
Materials Used:
1. Gold Plated Jewelry:
- Our gold plated jewelry features a thin layer of gold applied to a base metal. It offers a luxurious look at an affordable price.
- To maintain its shine, avoid exposing gold plated jewelry to moisture, perfumes, lotions, and chemicals.
- Gently wipe the jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove any residue.
2. Silver Jewelry:
- Our silver jewelry is made of high-quality sterling silver (925), known for its durability and classic beauty.
- Silver may naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. To prevent tarnishing, store your silver jewelry in an airtight container when not in use.
- Clean silver jewelry with a silver polishing cloth to restore its luster.
3. Gold Filled Jewelry:
- Gold filled jewelry consists of a thick layer of real gold bonded to a base metal, ensuring durability and long-lasting beauty.
- It is more resistant to tarnish and wear than gold plated jewelry.
- To clean gold filled jewelry, use a mild soap and warm water, gently scrubbing with a soft brush. Rinse and pat dry.
4. Natural Non-Precious or Semi-Precious Stones:
- Many of our pieces feature natural non-precious or semi-precious stones, each with its unique beauty and properties.
- Handle these stones with care to avoid chipping or scratching. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or sunlight.
- Clean stones gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Care Tips:
1. Storage:
- Store your jewelry pieces separately to prevent scratching and tangling.
- Use individual pouches or a jewelry box with compartments to keep your jewelry safe and organized.
2. Avoid Exposure:
- Remove your jewelry before engaging in activities that may expose it to harsh chemicals, including swimming, showering, and cleaning.
- Avoid wearing jewelry during physical activities that may cause it to get caught or damaged.
3. Perfumes and Lotions:
- Apply perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics before putting on your jewelry to prevent chemical reactions and residue buildup.
4. Regular Inspection:
- Periodically inspect your jewelry for loose stones, clasps, or any signs of damage. If you notice any issues, contact us for repair or assistance.
5. Professional Cleaning:
- For heavily tarnished or soiled jewelry, consider professional cleaning and maintenance by a reputable jeweler.
