Jewelry Care Guide

At Rugged Gifts, we use sterling silver as the base for all our jewelry, which is then coated with a thin layer of gold/rhodium. A little care will go a long way in retaining its sparkle.

Last On, First Off
Put your jewelry on last—after applying hairspray, perfume, or lotion—and take it off first before bedtime or any water activities to keep it looking its best.

Avoid Corrosive Liquids
Protect your jewelry from soap, sweat, and chemicals, as they can cause tarnishing or damage to the finish.

Steer Clear of Abrasive Surfaces
Keep your jewelry away from rough surfaces that could scratch or wear down the plating.

Store with Care
Wrap each piece in a soft cloth or tissue after use, then store it separately in a pouch, box, or plastic bag to prevent scratches or tangles.

Use Gentle Cleaning Methods
Skip harsh cleaning pads or chemical solutions. Instead, use a soft, damp jewelry cloth or a microfiber cloth to gently clean your pieces. These are easy to find at most jewelers.
