Materials and Care Guidelines
At Lovers The Label, we use only the finest materials to craft our jewelry, ensuring each piece is beautiful and durable. Our collections feature high-quality 18k gold vermeil and sterling silver, designed to last with proper care.
18k Gold Vermeil
Our 18k gold vermeil jewelry is crafted with a sterling silver base (92.5% pure silver) and a thick layer of 18k gold (at least 2.5 microns thick), providing a luxurious and long-lasting finish. To maintain the quality of your 18k gold vermeil jewelry:
- Avoid Moisture: Keep it dry and avoid wearing it while swimming, showering, or exercising.
- Chemical Exposure: Protect it from harsh chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products.
- Storage: Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in the provided jewelry box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and tarnishing.
- Cleaning: Gently clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, use mild soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth.
Sterling Silver
Our sterling silver jewelry is composed of 92.5% pure silver, combined with 7.5% other metals for enhanced durability and a timeless appearance. To maintain the quality of your sterling silver jewelry:
- Daily Wear: Regular wear can help prevent tarnish, as natural skin oils keep the silver polished.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid exposure to chlorine, bleach, and sulfur by removing your jewelry before swimming, showering, or using cleaning products.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, using an anti-tarnish pouch or cloth. Keep pieces separate to prevent scratches.
- Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft cloth or silver polishing cloth. Use a silver cleaning solution or mild soap and water for thorough cleaning, rinse well, and dry completely.
- Polishing: Use a silver polish to maintain shine if desired.
Disclaimer: At Lovers The Label, we use high-quality materials to craft our jewelry, including 18k gold vermeil and sterling silver. However, please be aware that both 18k gold vermeil and sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air, moisture, and chemicals.
By following our recommended care instructions, you can minimize the effects of tarnishing and keep your jewelry looking its best. However, please note that tarnishing is a natural process and not a defect in the product.
