Caring for Your Jewelry – A Ritual of Longevity
Your Solspel jewelry is crafted with intention, whether in Gold Vermeil (925 sterling silver coated in a rich layer of 17-carat gold) or pure Sterling Silver, both designed to carry beauty and meaning for years to come. With the right care, their radiance will remain as timeless as their design.
A Few Simple Rituals for Preservation
Gold Vermeil (925 Sterling Silver Base with 10x Gold Plating)
-
Avoid Contact with Water – To keep its glow, avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
-
Mindful Storage – Store in a dry place, away from humidity, preferably in a jewelry box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and oxidation.
-
Gentle Cleansing – When needed, polish softly with a dry microfiber cloth to restore its natural shine. Avoid liquid cleaners, as they may strip the gold layer over time.
-
Aging with Grace – Like all things precious, Gold Vermeil evolves with time. If the plating naturally softens, Solspel offers a complimentary jewelry refreshment service every two years, keeping your piece as luminous as the day it was created.
Sterling Silver (925 Silver)
-
Everyday Durability – Unlike Gold Vermeil, sterling silver is more resistant to daily wear but naturally reacts with air, moisture, and skin oils over time.
-
Preventing Oxidation – Keep silver jewelry in a dry, airtight container when not worn. Storing it alongside silica gel packets or anti-tarnish strips can slow oxidation.
-
Bringing Back the Shine – If your silver darkens over time, gently polish it with a jewelry cloth or clean it with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. For deeper tarnish, a simple baking soda and water paste can help restore its original glow.
Treat your jewelry as you would a treasured talisman—cared for with love, worn with intention, and kept in a place where it can rest in its golden or silver glow.
