Jewelry Care Guide
Bellboy pieces are designed to be worn and loved, but a little care goes a long way in preserving their finish.
Everyday Care
To keep your jewelry looking its best, avoid direct exposure to water, perfume, lotions, oils, sunscreen, and harsh chemicals. These can affect the finish of your piece over time, especially with plated jewelry.
We recommend putting your jewelry on last when getting ready and taking it off before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
Storage
When not in use, store each piece separately in its pouch or in a soft, dry place. This helps prevent scratches, tangling, and unnecessary wear.
Avoid leaving jewelry in humid spaces like bathrooms, as moisture can speed up tarnishing and affect plated finishes.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is solid and long-lasting, but it can naturally tarnish over time. This is normal and can usually be restored with a soft polishing cloth.
To preserve the finish, store sterling silver pieces in a dry place and gently polish when needed.
Silver Plating
Silver-plated pieces have a silver finish over a base metal and should be cared for gently to preserve their surface.
To help protect the finish, avoid water, perfume, lotions, oils, harsh chemicals, and unnecessary friction. Store separately and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
Brass with 18k Gold Plating
Bellboy’s gold pieces are made with brass and finished with 18k gold plating. This creates a warm gold tone that is lightweight and easy to wear, but it does require proper care to preserve the finish.
To help maintain the plating, avoid water, perfume, lotions, oils, harsh chemicals, and friction when possible. Store separately and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
A Final Note
Jewelry naturally changes with wear. Small shifts in shine, tone, or finish can happen over time, especially with pieces worn often.
Care for it well, and it becomes part of the story.
