Sara Golden jewelry is made using high quality materials and zero shortcuts so you can enjoy it for years. To keep it looking fresh, try the following:

For a light buff, gently rub your piece with a soft microfibre lens cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Always rub in a circular motion, and not too hard so you don’t wear away the finish or end up with extra shiny spots.

For a light cleaning, gently scrub the piece with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in lukewarm, soapy water.
Brush in a circular motion and dry it completely to avoid dark spots.

Treat soft stones like pearl, turquoise, or opal with special care.
They scratch easily and can absorb liquids or chemicals they come into contact with. Don’t dunk them in water, and cover them with your finger and gently scrub around them when cleaning.

Avoid chemical cleaners or polishing cloths loaded with built-in abrasives or oils.
The chemicals can react with your jewelry and make them turn strange colors, while abrasive cloths can remove the plating.

Take off your jewelry before using lotion, perfume, or washing your hands.
There are oils and chemicals in them that are great for your skin, but can gunk up your jewelry.

Remove your jewelry before jumping in the shower, taking a swim, or hitting the gym.
Long exposure to water, pool chemicals, and sweat can start to break down metal finishes and eat away at some stones.

Store your jewelry in a dust bag or a padded box when you’re not wearing it.
When jumbled together, pieces can get tangled or scratch each other.
