Jewelry Care

At Kherish, every piece is thoughtfully crafted to last beautifully. With proper care, your jewelry will maintain its shine, brilliance, and strength for years to come. Follow these tips to keep each metal looking its best.

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver jewelry is made from 92.5% pure silver, a precious metal that naturally develops a soft patina over time. To preserve its bright luster:

• Store silver pieces in a dry, airtight container or anti-tarnish pouch when not in use.

• Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, or household chemicals, as moisture accelerates tarnishing.

• Gently polish with a soft jewelry cloth to restore shine — never use abrasive cleaners or rough fabrics.

• For deep cleaning, use a mild silver solution or professional cleaning service.

Tip: Regular wear actually helps keep sterling silver bright by slowing oxidation.

Gold Vermeil (Gold Over Sterling Silver)

Gold vermeil features a thick layer of gold (at least 2.5 microns) over solid sterling silver — combining beauty, luxury, and affordability. To protect its gold finish:

• Avoid exposure to water, sweat, perfumes, or lotions, which can wear away the gold layer over time.

• Remove vermeil jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising.

• Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth after each wear. Do not use polishing compounds or liquid cleaners.

• Store separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches and friction.

Tip: With mindful care, vermeil jewelry will maintain its warmth and brilliance for years.

Solid Gold

Solid gold jewelry is timeless, resistant to tarnish, and built to endure everyday wear. Still, maintaining its brilliance ensures it looks as stunning as the day you received it:

• Clean regularly with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth or soft-bristle brush.

• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals such as chlorine or bleach, which can weaken gold over time.

• Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching, especially with higher-karat gold.

• For deeper cleaning, a professional jeweler can safely polish and restore shine.

Tip: 14K gold balances strength and luxury — perfect for daily wear with minimal maintenance.

Tungsten Carbide

Tungsten carbide is one of the most durable metals used in jewelry, known for its heavy feel, sleek appearance, and scratch resistance. To keep its modern shine:

• Clean with a mild soap and warm water solution using a soft cloth — avoid abrasive materials.

• Dry thoroughly before storing to maintain its mirror-like finish.

• Though scratch-resistant, tungsten can crack under extreme impact, so avoid dropping it on hard surfaces.

• Store separately to prevent contact with harder gemstones or metals.

Tip: Tungsten’s durability makes it ideal for everyday wear, but mindful handling preserves its flawless finish.
