Jewelry Care Instructions

Special Note for 925 Sterling Silver Hoops with Natural Agate

This piece is crafted from 925 Sterling Silver (a durable, hypoallergenic, precious metal) and accented with Natural Red Agate. While robust enough for daily use, sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to moisture and air. Proper care will maintain its bright luster.

I. Daily Wear Cautions (Preventing Tarnish)

1. Avoid Harsh Chemicals (Protecting Agate)
   • Avoid Chemicals: Keep the earrings away from perfumes, hairsprays, chlorine (pool water), and strong cleaning agents. Chemicals can damage the natural surface of the Agate gemstone and accelerate the tarnishing process of the silver.
   • Limited Water Exposure: While sterling silver is more tolerant of water than plated metals, excessive exposure (showering, swimming) is discouraged as it can accelerate tarnishing and leave mineral deposits on the silver.
2. Remove Before Sleeping or Exercising
   • Prevent Sweat & Damage: Remove before exercising to avoid sweat, which speeds up tarnish. Remove before sleeping to prevent the small hoops from being bent or damaged by pressure.

II. Storage and Cleaning

3. Proper Storage (Limit Air Exposure)Tarnish occurs due to air and moisture. When not wearing, store the earrings in a cool, dry place, preferably in a sealed jewelry bag (like the one provided) to dramatically slow down the oxidation process.
4. Gentle Cleaning (Tarnish Removal)Wipe the silver components gently and regularly with a soft, clean, dry cloth to remove dust and oils. If tarnish appears, use a specialized Silver Polishing Cloth to restore the shine. Do not use liquid silver dips or abrasive cleaners on the Agate stone.
