Jewelry Care Guide

As someone who almost never takes off their jewelry, I design my pieces to be able to withstand almost all lifestyles and activities! Although pieces will stay in nicer condition if more care is taken, I like to live in my jewelry and I am perfectly okay with the small signs of wear apparent on my everyday pieces!

All easy eye sterling silver jewelry can be worn in the ocean, shower, while sleeping, and while working out without becoming too tarnished or turning your skin green. These pieces are made to last a lifetime and crafted with an active lifestyle in mind. Although silver naturally tarnishes over time, it also polishes itself over time when jewelry is worn regularly. As the silver rubs against other materials (clothes, sand, your hands, etc) it removes the oxidation, which I have found means my jewelry rarely needs polishing.

The majority of my beaded necklaces and anklets are made with 50 lb fishing line, which is extremely strong, waterproof, and can be worn in all situations. These necklaces are very strong so the main worry is that if they were to get caught on something there is a chance that they would not break. Therefore, take caution when in situations where you think your jewelry could get caught.

All pieces can be washed with soap and water and a soft bristled brush to remove any dirt. If you notice your jewelry has become tarnished, you can use a silver polishing cloth to remove the silver oxide and brighten up the silver.

For pieces with lighter colored seaglass or translucent stones, the backplate behind the stone can become slightly tarnished, which cannot be polished away without removing the stone. Typically it is not too much of an issue and only minimal tarnishing occurs, but take extra care with pieces such as these and consider this when selecting an easy eye piece.

For people who are tough on their jewelry or pieces that have had a lot of wear and are showing small scratches or scuffs, I offer a repolishing service where pieces can be mailed back to me and fully polished again back to the their original condition. (The service is free, you just cover the cost of shipping or if you live locally pieces can be dropped off/picked up).

I would recommend removing jewelry before the following activities:

Swimming in some chlorinated pools
- If the chemical balance of a pool/hot tub is off it can tarnish silver jewelry to a black color.
Climbing or moving heavy things/using tools (i.e. shovels, hammers, etc)
- Strong forces like this can bend rings out of shape and wear down the silver on the inner part of the band
Cleaning with chemicals
- Some cleaning products (like bleach) can chemically react with the silver and cause it to tarnish
Any situation in which you think they could fall off (during ocean swims my fingers shrink slightly and my rings get looser)

These are just the guidelines I follow with my jewelry, but feel free to do whatever suits your lifestyle! Sterling silver can definitely take a beating!
