How to Care for Your New Rings

The secret to keeping jewelry looking brand new throughout years of use is proper care and storage. And truth be told, proper care is especially important when it comes to preserving and protecting your Blush and Bar Jewelry. 

Tips to Prevent Tarnishing

• Keep Away from Sulfides: Vermeil is gold laid over silver and well … silver tarnishes when exposed to oxygen and sulfides. To protect your gold vermeil rings from tarnishing, avoid contact with materials such as wool, felt, rubber and latex.
   
• Store in Airtight Container: Keep air away from your gold vermeil rings when you're not wearing them by storing them in airtight containers. Most jewelry boxes are lined with material that slows the process of tarnishing, so you may want to use one to store your rings.

How to Clean Your Gold Rings

• DO NOT use chemical jewelry cleaners to clean your rings. To protect the gold finish, it's recommended you gently buff the jewelry with a soft (and DRY) towel made out of 100% cotton or microfiber.
  
  
• DO NOT rub or scrub the surface of your rings.
  
  
• DO NOT use abrasive agent such as baking soda.

General Care Tips for Wearing

• Stacking gold rings isn't typically recommended since scratches can cause the gold finish to wear.
  
  
• Do not wear when swimming in pools, hot tubs or the ocean.
  
  
• Do not wear when showering or bathing.
  
  
• Remove before applying lotions, creams and perfumes.

Caring for your Blush and Bar rings is made easy by following the above recommendations to keep your jewelry looking as new as they day you got it.
