Here at Jewelry by Catherina, all of our pieces are handmade with love, and our stones are hand-glued  or set in with a personal touch. The recommendations below are made with the handmade nature of our jewelry in mind. Chemicals found in soaps, perfumes, and lotions can be hard on jewelry and may speed up the aging process. If you're aware of a high acidity level in your body, we recommend exploring our gold filled section, as acidity can break down plating at a faster rate.

🌟 5 Things You Can Do to Show Your Jewelry Some Love

1. 🫧 Keep it dry while cleaning up Remove rings and bracelets when washing your hands, doing the dishes, or applying lotions and creams.

2. 🏊 Skip the swim & sweat Avoid showering, swimming, or working out while wearing your jewels. Water, chlorine, and sweat can all affect the finish and longevity of your pieces.

3. 📦 Store them with care When you're not wearing your pieces, store them in a jewelry box or jewelry pouch to protect them from dust, moisture, and scratches.

4. 😴 Let them rest Give your jewelry a break and remove your pieces before sleeping to prevent bending, tangling, or unnecessary wear.

5. 🧼 Give them a little spa day Gently cleanse with lukewarm water and a mild soap, or buff with a soft polishing cloth every month or two to keep your jewels sparkling like new.
