How do I best take care of my 18K Gold plated jewelry?

 

All Uvær jewelry are made of precious metals - Sterling Silver, Pure Silver and/ or plated with 18K Gold. We recommend taking good care of your treasures by:

 

- Removing your jewelry before you swim in chlorine or salt water.

- Removing your jewelry before participating in activities that will cause you to sweat a lot.

- Waiting to put on your jewelry until after you have applied lotion, makeup or perfume.

- Removing jewelry if you will be bringing it into contact with something hard. (For example, take off your ring before lifting weights.)

- Storing your plated jewelry where it won’t rub against other hard substances (a soft bag—one per piece of jewelry—is ideal).

 

Wipe your gold plated jewelry after each use, using a soft cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You may also soak it for a few minutes in warm, soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth as needed (or a soft toothbrush to clean small cracks and crevices).

All Uvær designs with silver appearance are made of Sterling silver (925) and/ or Pure silver (999) and with or without 15k gold plated. Silver jewelry requires special care to preserve its appearance and longevity.

 

We recommend taking good care of your silver treasures by:

For silver that is tarnished, clean with a good quality silver polish and avoid "dip" polishes.
