Care Guide
Made to last. With a little care.
18K gold PVD over solid 316L stainless steel is made for daily wear. A few habits keep the finish looking its best.

Daily wear
- Wear it often. Everyday sweat is fine; rinse it off after a heavy session.
- Take it off before swimming. Chlorine and salt water with sand dull any finish over time.
- Take it off before heavy lifting or contact sports. A direct hit can dent any chain, and the clasp takes the strain.
- Take it off for long showers. Soap residue builds up at the clasp and between the links.
- Put it on last: let perfume, lotion and sunscreen dry first.
Cleaning
- Fill a small bowl with warm water and add a drop of mild dish soap.
- Submerge the chain. Use a soft toothbrush to work gently between the links.
- Rinse in cool water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Let it air-dry for an hour before it goes back in the box.
Storage
Keep it in its box, laid flat, somewhere cool and dry. Store pieces apart: chains kept together scratch each other, and so do gemstones and other steel.
Avoid
- Bleach, chlorine and other harsh chemicals.
- Polishing cloths with compound, metal polish, toothpaste or baking soda. They're made to take metal off.
- Ultrasonic cleaners.
- Extreme heat and long hours in direct sun.
- DIY re-plating. It won't match a PVD finish; email us instead.
