General Cleaning
After each use, gently wipe the metal surface with a soft cloth or polishing cloth and store in a lined jewelry box or airtight plastic bag.

 

Please avoid direct contact with water (salt or fresh), excessive perspiration, and chemicals such as chlorine, sulfur, perfume, detergent and lotion.  Excessive light, heat or moisture will deteriorate the quality of the jewelry, plating on the metal and gemstones. The color of some gemstones may fade if constantly exposed to the sun.

Metals

Our collections consist of sterling silver, copper, brass and leather.

 

14K Gold-Fill

Some chains and wires featured in our collections are 14K gold-filled. The 14K GF metal may darken or tarnish with normal wear. Please note that excessive polishing will affect the 14K plating and is not recommended. 

 

Silver

Silver metal may be cleaned by gently whipping the metal with a silver polishing cloth.

 

Copper & brass

Copper and brass metal may be cleaned by dipping the metal in white vinegar for 5 minutes, then rinsing in warm water and dried with a soft cloth.  Do not leave metal in white vinegar over night.

 

 

Stones

Because most of the stones used in our collection are natural (semi-precious) gemstones and pearls may vary in shape, size and color. Inclusions can be seen in natural stones and is a part of their beauty. Pearls and most gemstones do not stand the force of cleaning agents, polishing cloth or ultrasonic cleaners. 

Stones can also shatter and break if dropped, stepped on or smashes against another hard surface. Please be careful not to drop or smash your stones.  Some stones are just as fragile as glass.

Stones are one of a kind and may not be replaceable if lost and or broken.

 

Caring for your Leather jewelry

Leather jewelry should be kept from excessive heat and moisture.  Leather jewelry should be stored flat in a dry airtight container.  Leather maybe carefully cleaned with a leather cleaner and conditioner (containing fats and natural oils) that doesn’t leave a residue. Do not use petroleum- based products on your leather jewelry.

Please be careful and enjoy your handcrafted item from K~Fleye.
