Treat your jewels with love and care, and they'll keep sparkling for you!
In order to preserve your Line By Maria jewelry in the best condition and to maintain its gloss and glamor it is important to avoid direct moisture, hairspray, perfume, creams directly on the jewelry. Therefore spray the perfume, hair spray and apply your skin cream first and wait until the skin is dry before putting on your jewelry!
All jewelry, regardless of material, must be handled with care. Always store the jewelery in a jewelry box or jewelry boxes. Moisture affects the surface and we recommend that you avoid lying in the bathroom. Take the jewelry off when you shower or bath. In contact with water, the material in plated silver may drop its color and become brownish. Do not use your jewelry when exercising or performing any work where you sweat. Neither during the night when you sleep.
All silver oxidizes over time, ie they get a black or yellow surface of sulfur found in our skin, in air, fabrics, etc. We exude a lot of sulfur through the skin so that a jewelry can be oxidized at different speeds depending on who wears the jewelry. Humidity and some medications can speed up the process.
Silver always needs to be brushed a bit every now and then. It is great to use silver plugs and / or cloths on those that are also plated with genuine silver. I myself use silver foam that I think works well. In contact with air, silver becomes oxidized except those that are rhodinated.
One tip is to always store your jewelry with silver details in airtight plastic bags in the jewelry box. Have some sugar pieces or silicate bags in your jewelry box to delay oxidation of silver.
