Solid Gold or Sterling Silver Key Stud Earrings

SOLID GOLD: Any jewelry should be removed prior to swimming, doing household cleaning or applying beauty products. A chemical reaction between metal or stone and external agents such as sulfurous water, chlorine, perfumes, lotions, hair spray, deodorant, detergent, abrasive cleaners, can cause deterioration of the jewelry and can erode the finish and polish of gems and pearls, leaving them dull. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth or a mild dish soap with a soft brush to clean your solid gold pieces. Rinse thoroughly and let your jewelry air dry. Avoid wiping with a tissue paper or paper towel as they can cause scratches. You may take your jewelry to your local jeweler for a deep cleaning and polishing. It is recommended to check your prong set jewelry by a professional every 6 -12 month, so stones don’t come loose. For pearls, amber and coral: ultrasonic cleaning or any liquid cleaning solution should be avoided, as it may dull a surface of a stone. Ideally, store your jewelry in a soft lined box or pouch and try to keep pieces apart, so they don’t rub together or tangle up.
