I know, terrible. But once in a blue moon, it does happen!

Here are some handy tips for keeping your jewelry beautiful for years to come. With a little care and attention, our favorite mountain rings will adorn our fingers, and our jewelry will sparkle with the rest of our outfit.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1404724368273{padding-top: 75px !important;padding-bottom: 55px !important;}” background_style=”normal”][vc_column][title_subtitle title=”The Big Three” title_size=”50″][vc_row_inner type=”boxed”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][icon_box title=”Avoid Chemicals” icon=”arrows-deny” icon_style=”bg_color” icon_color=”#ffffff” icon_bg_color=”#e0c787″]Chemicals are getting a bad rap these days. And for good reason – they aren’t good for us! Guess what? Your jewelry doesn’t like them either! Try your best to keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals, cleaners, lotions and perfumes that could harm them.[/icon_box][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][icon_box title=”Give Me a Break!” icon=”weather-moon” icon_style=”bg_color” icon_color=”#ffffff” icon_bg_color=”#3d3b5b”]Even jewelry needs a night off. Remember to remove your mountain jewelry before hitting the sack at night. Your necklaces won’t be tangled, and your rings won’t be bathing in your skin’s fragrant oils.[/icon_box][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][icon_box title=”Skip the Gym” icon=”music-headphones” icon_style=”bg_color” icon_color=”#ffffff” icon_bg_color=”#90716c”]Ok I admit it. I’ve worked out with my mountain jewelry on. But, for best practice, if you’re lifting weights, or grabbing anything metal and applying pressure to your hands – remove your rings BEFORE you pump iron. It will help keep your rings ding free and shiny![/icon_box][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1520009220162{padding-top: 75px !important;padding-bottom: 75px !important;background-color: #969696 !important;}” background_style=”normal” font_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” type=”boxed” css=”.vc_custom_1520009024843{margin-bottom: 75px !important;padding-top: 5% !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1404744448637{padding-right: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1519869419822{margin-bottom: -10px !important;}”]CARE FOR SILVER[/vc_column_text][title_subtitle title=”Sterling Silver” title_color=”#ffffff” title_size=”54″ subtitle=”Sterling silver is a versatile metal, and so is caring for it.” subtitle_color=”#ffffff” subtitle_size=”18″ align=”left”][vc_column_text]To clean, use warm, soapy water. You can also use a sterling silver specific cleaner, and follow the instructions provided.

To restore a high shine, simply use a polishing cloth the rub around the ring. I go in a uniform direction, and repeat a few times.

If you’re having too much fun in the hot springs and forget to remove your sterling silver, don’t fret. While the sulfur will cause your rings to patina, it is easily removed with sterling cleaner, or a quick rub of a polishing cloth. If your jewelry has a brush finish, avoid the polish cloth, as it will make it shiny!

Did you know all metal tarnishes! Even sterling silver. Think grandma’s old silverware. Again, polishing cloths or sterling silver cleaner work great to restore the natural metal.

Clean with warm soap and water, avoiding sterling silver cleansers.

Chlorine can discolor and even damage your gold vermeil pieces, so be sure to take them off before plunging into the pool or hotub.

Did you know all metal tarnishes! Gold vermeil will tarnish over time. You can VERY GENTLY rub a baking soda paste around and over the jewelry to remove dark spots and restore a yellow color. I repeat: VERY GENTLY![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1520009824035{padding-top: 10px !important;background-image: url(https://lovelybaubles.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/bff-gold-flora.jpg?id=75057) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”300px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
