Jewelry Care Guide
All our Velvet Desert jewelry is carefully and expertly crafted using premium quality stainless steel, sterling silver, and high-grade stones.
It's important to remember that all metals are subject to natural wear and may eventually oxidize or fade.
This care guide is designed to help extend the shine and longevity of your jewelry.
How should I store my jewelry?
We recommend storing your pieces in the jewelry pouch they came in, or an air-tight container kept out of direct sunlight and heat. Avoid humid places like bathrooms.
How do I take care of my jewelry or make it last longer?
- Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or exposing it to moisture.
- Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and hair products as they contain chemicals that may cause tarnish.
- Handle gold-plated jewelry with clean, dry hands.
- Store gemstones carefully to prevent chipping or cracking.
Can I shower or swim with my jewelry?
No. Keep your jewelry dry and store it in a cool place when not worn.
What should I use to clean my jewelry?
- Use a flannel cotton cloth and high-quality jewelry cleaner. If unavailable, warm water is fine.
- Do not use microfiber or rough cloths as they can scratch the plating.
- Always dry your jewelry completely after cleaning.
My jewelry is turning color, why is this happening?
- Skin oils and body chemistry can cause natural wear or discoloration over time, especially on gold-plated pieces.
- Sometimes, a piece just needs cleaning rather than it actually being damaged.
I think I'm allergic to the jewelry!
If you experience irritation or redness, try applying a thin layer of clear nail polish to the part of the jewelry that contacts your skin. This can serve as a protective barrier.
