FAQ
How do I care for my jewelry?
Use a polishing cloth designed for sterling silver jewelry to clean the metal surface. please avoid polishing over oxidized, darker sterling silver as this may rub off the patina. after polishing, rinse with warm soapy water and towel dry. make sure jewelry is clean and completely dry before you store it away. wrapping your jewelry in a soft cloth will keep it clean and prevent it from tarnishing.
any jewelry with rubber should be stored in a box and not in an airtight bag to avoid accelerated tarnishing. rubber can be washed in soapy warm water and towel dried.
please take your jewelry off to sleep, shower, swim, etc. and remember to apply your hairspray, perfume, lotions, and cosmetics before putting your jewelry on.
avoid any harsh or abrasive cleaners.

I’m allergic to nickel. Can I wear sterling silver?
Yes. the alloy i use is fine silver with copper. sterling silver refers to a 92.5% silver content with an alloy to make it stronger.
What is the black metal that you use?
The black metal is oxidized sterling silver. i use a patina to create the reaction that turns the sterling silver black. It will wear over time and may need to be touched up. You can contact me to re-oxidized your piece if needed.
