1. Avoid Moisture and Chemicals: Sterling silver can tarnish, especially when it’s exposed to water, perfumes, and lotions. Take off your jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying products.
2. Store Safely: Keep in a soft pouch or anti-tarnish bag in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent tarnishing.
3. Gentle Cleaning: After wearing, use a soft cloth to wipe off any oils or dirt. For a deeper clean, gently polish with a jewelry cloth designed for sterling silver. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cloths as these can wear down the gold plating.

1. Limit Exposure to Harsh Chemicals: Stainless steel is durable, but the gold plating can still wear off with exposure to chemicals like perfume, lotion, or chlorine. Apply these products before putting on your jewelry.
2. Rinse and Dry: Stainless steel is more resistant to tarnishing, but occasional rinsing in warm, soapy water helps keep it clean. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
3. Storage Tips: Store separately to prevent scratches on the gold plating and to protect other jewelry. A soft pouch or dedicated space in your jewelry box works well.
