Caring for your Gold Jewelry
1. To brighten and polish your Gold Jewelry use a liquid Gold Cleaner and follow the directions. 10kt Gold is easier to tarnish and dull because of its higher content of other metals.
2. Only use a Cleaner that specifies it's okay to use on precious Gemstones and if your jewelry has real or lab grown diamonds.
3. Jewelry that has many stones requires extra care, remove when washing hands, do not bang or hit against surfaces, take off when showering; water can cause stones to become loose. Wearing everyday can also cause wear that will cause stones to become loose. These steps can prevent them from falling off. (we can replace any and all including diamonds, at customers expense.)
4. Use a polishing cloth in between deep cleanings to keep your gold bright and shiny and to minimize wear like scratches.
5. Thin chains or thin rings are more delicate and require gentle care. Ex: take off before bedtime, do not pull on chains, wearing thin band rings including some nugget jewelry can cause them to break. (we can add gold to make band on rings thicker for a more durable, long lasting wear at customers expense.)
At the moment since I am home based I am only able to take in a limited amount of repairs which is only jewelry that has been purchased from me. I will not be held liable for any other jewelry that you purchased somewhere else.
Caring for your Sterling Silver Jewelry
1. To keep your jewels ultra sparkly and stones from coming loose and falling out, do not submerge in water. Remove when washing hands. It can also cause the stones to become dull.
2. The anti-tarnish finish on each piece keeps your jewelry from turning and keeps it looking shiny. Your jewelry requires little cleaning.
3. For deep cleaning, like chains or small crevices you can use a liquid Sterling Silver Cleaner. Follow cleaner instructions. (I use Connoisseur’s, you can find it at Walmart or Amazon.)
4. Avoid using anything that is not meant for cleaning jewelry, like toothpaste or other soaps.
Dora's Kisses Jewelry is not responsible for loose stones or stones that fall off after wear.
