Proper care and storage are crucial to keeping your jewelry beautiful for a long time. Whether it's stainless steel stud earrings, polymer clay earrings, or brass jewelry, a few tips will help your favorite pieces stay shiny for years to come.

Avoid contact with liquids

Water, cleaning agents, cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, oil, steam, or sweat can damage your jewelry. When exercising, showering, or visiting a sauna, you should remove stainless steel earrings and other jewelry to protect them from oxidation and discoloration.

Store jewelry in a dry place

Before going to bed, you should remove your jewelry and store it in a dry place. A jewelry dish, a soft pouch, or a box will protect stainless steel, brass, and polymer clay earrings from scratches and moisture.

Avoid impacts on hard surfaces

Scratches and damage can easily be avoided by ensuring that the jewelry does not come into contact with hard objects. This is especially true for delicate polymer clay earrings and intricate brass jewelry.

Cleaning your jewelry

• Stainless steel jewelry: Clean with a soft cloth to maintain shine and color.

• Brass jewelry: Can oxidize over time. Home remedies such as vinegar, lemon juice, or ketchup can remove oxidation. Alternatively, a special brass cleaner can be used with a soft cloth.

• Polymer clay jewelry: Waterproof and easy to clean. Wipe away stains with a damp cloth. Stubborn stains may require isopropyl alcohol or acetone (not nail polish remover). Take care to avoid damaging stainless steel and brass parts.

Pay attention to materials

Our ear hooks, ball stud earrings, and jump rings are made of stainless steel, as this material is particularly well-tolerated. If you prefer ear hooks or stud earrings made of 925 sterling silver, please contact us before ordering.

All the materials we use for our earrings can be found in the respective product description. This way you know exactly what care is required.
