Jewelry Care Guide
Our pieces at Ink & Iron are made to last. With the right care, your gold-filled jewelry and freshwater pearls will stay beautiful for years to come.
✦ Gold-Filled Jewelry ✦
Tarnish Resistant, Not Tarnish Proof
Gold-filled jewelry is much more durable than gold-plated, but it still deserves gentle care.
• Remove before swimming, showering, or exercising to protect from chemicals, heavy sweat, and saltwater.
• Store in a dry, soft pouch or jewelry box to minimize scratches.
• To clean, gently wipe with a soft jewelry cloth. For a deeper clean, use warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush—then dry thoroughly.
✦ Freshwater Pearls ✦
Delicate & Timeless
Pearls are organic gems and need extra love.
• Always put pearls on last—after applying makeup, perfume, or hairspray.
• Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
• Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches. Never keep them in airtight containers, as pearls need a little moisture.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and soaking.
