The only way to permanently maintain the flawless condition of your jewelry is to not wear it. However, we strongly advise against this.
The greatest misfortune that can happen to your jewelry is to disappear unnoticed in a drawer. Let it be a part of your life, like a good friend. Wear it whenever you feel comfortable—it will thank you.
Let your jewelry participate in your life
Over time, with its inevitable wear marks, it will tell your shared story, and the longer and more intense this story continues, the more charismatic its charisma will become - like that of a person whose face reveals the adventures of his life.
Our jewelry is ready for your everyday life
Your jewelry is durable enough to be worn all the time — whether at work, during your free time, on vacation, or while exercising. Even contact with water, such as in the shower, while swimming in the pool, or in the sea, won't harm your jewelry. Likewise, contact with shower gel, soap, cosmetics, deodorant, or perfume won't cause lasting damage to your jewelry.
However, certain substances, which can be found in sweat, as well as in personal care or cosmetic products, can contribute to faster tarnishing of silver jewelry. This is a natural reaction of the silver, which combines with hydrogen sulfide, which is also present in small amounts in the air, to form silver sulfide.
Wear your jewelry
This discoloration can be easily removed by rubbing it with a precious metal cleaning cloth or a precious metal cleaning bath. (Blackened silver jewelry, such as that from our VESPUCCI collection, should not be cleaned with jewelry baths, as these can attack the oxidation and cause it to fade.) However, by wearing your jewelry frequently, you will significantly reduce its tendency to tarnish. If you don't wear your jewelry while showering or bathing, you can clean it occasionally with soap and water. If necessary, the included microfiber cloth is perfect for occasional cleaning.
Avoid deep scratches and dents
Although precious metals are very durable and long-lasting, they are relatively soft and can suffer dents and deep scratches from strong impacts and blows from hard objects. If you want to avoid such damage beyond normal wear, we recommend handling your jewelry with care. When not wearing it, keep it dry and securely closed. It's especially well protected in its original box.
As you can see, our jewelry is robust enough to accompany you in your everyday life, but there are situations in which you should definitely avoid wearing jewelry:
Never wear your jewelry if it poses a danger to you or others.
Do not practice (contact) sports with your jewelry if there is a risk of getting caught on it or injuring yourself.
Be sure to remove your jewelry if it is not permitted to be worn for safety reasons, such as when working on machinery or electrical equipment.
Never go into the sauna or steam bath with your jewelry, as metal heats up very quickly in these environments, which can cause burns on your skin.
