JEWELRY CARE

THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR YOUR ITEMS

Sterling Silver:

TARNISH, stay away!

Natural oils, sunscreen, and perfume will naturally tarnish your jewelry over time. Sterling silver will tarnishes faster in areas with high humidity (hello, beach babes!), so store your Kikita jewelry in a clean air tight plastic bag when you are not wearing it. 

Keep your pieces grime-free as much as possible

Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water and dip in a soft cloth. Rub the jewelry, then rinse in cool water, and buff with a cloth until dry. 

Gold and Silver plated:

To avoid silver tarnish, be sure to take your jewelry off when doing exercise, taking a shower, swimming, etc. 

If you do decide to wear your jewels in the ocean, please rinse with freshwater and dry immediately after! But do be aware, that the salt water can negatively affect the silver / gold plating and they might not last as long as they would if they were not exposed to salt water. 

It's best to take off before entering any body of water, such as a pool, ocean, pond, lake, shower... you get the point.  In the case that you do happen to get tossed in a pool unexpectedly, the best way to clean your favorite piece is to:

-Place your jewelry in a glass container and soak it in white vinegar for 30 minutes, being careful not to include stones and shells as it will damage these pieces. Instead, clean pieces with stones/pearls with soap and water only. 

-Rinse and dry!

With proper love and care, your Kikita Jewelry pieces can last for a very long time <3
