Your Jewelry Care
We know that with the right care, your jewelry will give you endless joy for a very very long time.
At Seed2Stone, we use recycled sterling silver and 14K gold, both nickel-free so they are hypoallergenic and safe for your long term wear. Both can be worn all all the time with confidence and comfort. With all jewelry, you should avoid chemicals and lotions. Chlorine can be damaging to all metals as well. That being said, it is safer to keep your jewelry on than take it off every time you wash your hands. We have seen too many people loose there gems down a sink hole!
How to care for your Sterling Silver:
Yes, sterling silver does eventually tarnish, sometimes more than others. We rhodium plate all of our silver which keeps the tarnish away for a very long time. Oddly, keeping your jewelry on all the time seems to keep tarnish at bay. The oils in your skin slow the process and your jewelry will remain white longer. When you are not wearing your jewelry, it is best to keep it in plastic bags, jewelry pouches or some other closed container. If you do notice tarnishing, simply wiping with a jewelry polishing cloth will take the tarnish away without harming the metal or stones.
How to care for your 14K Gold:
Yes, you can wear your gold all the time, although we still suggest avoiding chemicals like chlorine and lotions. When you are not wearing your jewelry, it is best to keep it in plastic bags, jewelry pouches or some other closed container. Gold can be scratched when mixed with other pieces so keep the items separated and keep your chains from tangling by closing the clasp keeping them separated with tissue or a bag.
How to care for your lab-grown diamonds:
Diamonds sit at the top of Mohs scale of hardness. They are safe to wear all the time and just want to be loved. If you do notice built up dirt on your stones, we suggest gently cleaning with a small soft brush (a toothbrush does the job nicely) and some good old toothpaste. Yes, toothpaste, not gel, paste. Then rinse it off with water. Be very careful not to scratch the surrounding metal. Be gentle, it won't take much to clean your stones, if they need cleaning at all.
How to LOVE your Seed2Stone jewelry:
Wear it daily. Sleep-in it if you feel comfortable. Leave-on earrings are our favorites, if you feel good with them. And, sparkle like you mean it.
