HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY JEWELRY?

To keep your jewelry looking its best, we recommend to regularly wipe it with a soft, clean cloth. Store your pieces in a dry place. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.

For our (sterling) silver jewelry, polish it regularly with a (silver) polishing cloth. If you let it go too long without polishing and your sterling silver piece has turned black, dull browny-red or a copper color you can use baking soda and aluminum foil to remove it. Click here for a tutorial. With proper care sterling silver jewelry can last you a lifetime.

If you prefer to use a silver dip cleaner for your sterling silver or silver plated pieces make sure to read the fine print and follow the directions. This product checks all the boxes, but using it is at your own risk.

OUR ADVICE

The best advice we can offer: jewelry is the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you remove in the evening. To keep your jewelry looking their best, we recommend removing your jewelry when showering, swimming, exercising or when applying perfumes and lotions. For stones, be careful with light and heat. It's best to avoid leaving them out in the sunlight as the color of the stone may change.

That said our pieces hold up amazingly, so an occasional dip in the water is fine. Frequent water exposure however can - over time - affect the durability of the plating. To maintain the shine and longevity of your jewelry, it's important to rinse your pieces with fresh water after a dip in the pool or ocean or a workout, and always pat dry with a microfiber cloth, and store them in a dry place.

CAN I SWIM AND WORKOUT IN MY JEWELRY?

To maintain the beauty of your pieces we recommend removing them before showering, swimming or exercising. That said our pieces hold up amazingly, so an occasional dip in the water or wearing them during a workout every now and then is fine. Make sure to rinse with fresh water afterwards and pat dry with a microfiber cloth. We have customers shower with their jewelry on a regular basis without issue. Please know that everyone's skin PH is different, and reacts differently to metals. It is best to avoid contact with water and any oils, lotions, and perfumes to protect the plating and any stones.

WHAT CAUSES STERLING SILVER TO TARNISH?

This information is for sterling silver pieces as well as the silver plated pieces as sterling silver is used in our plating.

Pure silver, like pure gold, does not tarnish. But pure silver is also incredibly soft so it cannot be used for jewelry making. To make it stronger an alloy metal is created by combining pure silver and a small amount of copper and zinc. This alloy with 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (typically copper) is called sterling silver.

The addition of copper makes it stronger, but it is also the metal that tarnishes when exposed to sulfur which naturally exists in the air around us. Many day-to-day items such as soaps, perfumes, and foods (eg. onions and eggs) also contain sulfur compounds. Other elements that will react with silver are chlorine, tissue paper (as this often contains acids) and the PH levels of our skin. Some people have silver pieces turn black overnight whereas others can wear it for years without a reaction. And some pieces may tarnish quicker or different than others.

This reaction dulls or discolors silver, but fortunately the corrosion doesn't do any harm and can be cleaned by polishing.

HOW TO EXTEND LONGEVITY

You can extend the longevity of your jewelry with proper care as explained above and with proper storage. We recommend using this little box, as we've found that it simply does the trick best, even for our sterling silver pieces.

How long costume jewelry lasts depends on a number of factors: the way you care for them, your skin composition, how often you wear it, and the air around you. Air causes metal to oxidize and a storage container keeps the air out as much as possible.

For ultimate protection put your pendants and chains in a small plastic bag first. Make sure the pieces are dry and get rid of as much air as possible before sealing the bag. Then place the plastic bag in our simple storage container. It's a true care-taker and is also perfect for travelling.

TIP: Silica gel packets or a piece of chalk also give added protection.

HOW TO KEEP DELICATE CHAINS FROM TANGLING

If you have problems with chain necklaces getting tangled, use a straw. Simply thread one end of the chain through the straw, close up the necklace, then store your jewelry items as normal.

WHAT ARE YOUR PIECES MADE OF?

A few items are made of sterling silver, but most of our jewelry pieces are made with high-quality brass. This brass base is then professionally plated and receives an anti-tarnish lacquer coating for protection.

All our materials are carefully selected to balance quality, beauty, and durability, allowing us to create a similar look and style as fine jewelry, but without the high cost of solid gold and diamonds. A stunning look made affordable and guilt-free. Our pieces have been tried and tested for long lasting plating. With good jewelry care you can enjoy your LINK pieces for a long time.

ARE YOUR PIECES NICKEL FREE?

We cannot guarantee all our pieces are nickel free as brass may sometimes contain small traces of nickel. We do sell a few sterling silver pieces which are of course nickel free.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE SIZE OF EACH PIECE?

Of course nothing beats seeing the pieces in person. To help visualize the size of each item you will find detailed images on each product page, photos on models, and under product details on each page you will find exact measurements in inches and mm. We also offer the option to shop pendants by size - click here.

DO YOU HAVE A SIZING AND STYLING GUIDE?

ARE YOUR PIECES WATERPROOF?

To keep your jewelry looking their best, we recommend removing your jewelry when showering or swimming. That said our pieces hold up amazingly, so an occasional dip in the water is fine. Frequent water exposure however can - over time - affect the durability of the plating. To maintain the shine and longevity of your jewelry, it's important to rinse your pieces with fresh water after a dip in the pool or ocean or a workout, and always pat dry with a microfiber cloth, and store them in a dry place.

The only jewerly that is waterproof and tarnish free is solid gold, unplated stainless steel and sterling silver, regardless where you buy it. Our jewelry has been tried and tested for long lasting plating. With good jewelry care you can enjoy your LINK pieces for a long time.

DO YOUR PIECES TARNISH?

Any gold or silver plated jewelry will ultimately tarnish no matter where you buy it. The only gold that will not tarnish and last a lifetime is solid gold and with proper care sterling silver will also last a lifetime. Our jewelry has been tried and tested for long lasting plating. With good jewelry care you can enjoy your LINK pieces for a long time.

HOW DOES THE WEIGHT OF YOUR PIECES COMPARE TO SOLID GOLD?

Most of our pieces are made with gold or silver plated brass. Brass is 55% lighter than solid gold and 18% lighter than sterling silver, which explains the weight difference you may be noticing. We carefully select high-quality brass as our base material and apply professional plating techniques to ensure durability and beauty. It creates a similar look and style as fine jewelry, but without the high cost of solid gold and diamonds. A stunning look made affordable and guilt-free. ;)

CAN I ORDER A CUSTOM PIECE?

Yes! You can design a unique pendant for your friend group, wedding, school, college, store, special event, or business! Ideal for corporate gifts or business swag. We can turn your design into a sparkling reality, and we're happy to assist with the creative process.
