Jewelry Care
To avoid damage, jewelry should not come in contact with harsh chemicals, cosmetics, hair sprays, perfumes or moisture, etc. If a tarnish remover is used it should be metal appropriate and safe for other materials used in the jewelry piece.
Concrete Jewelry
Concrete jewelry should be cared for as any other jewelry. A custom mix has been developed to be strong and durable but is not unbreakable. Handle with care to avoid breakage and chipping. Over time concrete will become stronger and can darken or develop a sheen naturally or from body oils, rubbing, etc. If a polish is used on metal parts it's best to test first in an area to be sure there is no adverse reaction with the concrete. If alcohol is used on ear wires and gets on the concrete some of the color may rub off. Although this small amount should not be noticeable and will not cause damage it's best to avoid excessive use of alcohol on concrete. All concrete is sealed to repel moisture but is not waterproof. It can be wiped with a damp cloth but should not be immersed in water.
Storing Jewelry
To avoid tarnish, sterling silver is best stored in a zip lock bag or an airtight container with anti-tarnish strips, or some other anti-tarnish environment. Alternatively, jewelry may be wrapped in an anti-tarnish material. Care should be taken when handling to avoid breakage or chipping.
