JEWELRY CARE
What does gold-filled mean?
Gold-filled jewelry has a thicker layer of gold than gold-plated jewelry. This makes gold-filled more durable, and water-safe!
*Most of our gold jewelry is made from durable stainless steel coated with a layer of 18k gold; our silver jewelry is made from stainless steel.
Although crafted with the best materials to ensure its durability, no gold-plated or gold-filled jewelry will last a lifetime because it's not solid gold. However, if you follow all of the care instructions your jewelry should look D'Vine for many years to come!
JEWELRY CARE
1. We recommend you limit exposure to perfumes, soaps, lotions and excessive water. Constant exposure to these things can remove the shine from your jewelry.
2. Avoid exercising in your jewelry, sweat can cause gold-plated jewelry to tarnish.
3. Avoid constant exposure to water (ie. showering, washing hands, swimming) when wearing gold-plated jewelry (gold-filled jewelry is water-safe.)
*Exposure to chlorine water will likely shorten the lifespan of your jewelry*
4. Remove jewelry before going to bed. Necklaces, nose cuffs, bracelets and (crystal) waist beads are delicate and can be snagged in covers or loose threads; causing them to break.
WEARING OUR WAIST BEADS
- All of our waist beads are elastic so we recommend you limit their exposure to hot water. we do not recommend you shower everyday while wearing your waist beads; however if you'd just like to wear them in water occasionally (chlorine and salt water included) this won't damage the product!
*Wearing your (crystal) waist beads to bed risks snagging them and/or breaking them.
STORING OUR JEWELRY
*For all of our jewelry we recommend you store it in a cool, dry area. This keeps your jewelry from being exposed to things like humidity, moisture, heat and chemicals in the air that will damage the finish of your jewelry.
1. Store nose cuffs in the mini glass bottle provided as they are made from gold-plated and stainless steel wire.
2. Store necklaces in the packaging provided.
*Waist beads and bracelets don't require any special storage accommodations
