Our jewelry is made with 92.5% of pure silver(aka 925 sterling silver) and 14K/18K gold plating. It is an affordable alternative to solid gold jewelry pieces. When not in use, wipe down your jewelry with a soft, lint-free polishing cloth and store it in a sealed bag or box in a cool dry place. Remove them before bath, shower, swimming pool, sports, or any other sweating activities. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, or other chemicals for long lasting shininess of the silver.
