CARE GUIDE + tIPS & TRICKS TO MAINTAIN THAT SHINE!

1. Gentle cleansing Make cleaning your jewelry a fun little ritual! Don't forget to cleanse your jewelry regularly! Since you are wearing your jewelry all day, everyday, It is prone to accumulating dirt and build up, and being exposed to sweat and other elements may cause some slight discolorations! No worries because it just needs some love! For cleaning; We recommend using warm water, a soft toothbrush and good old dawn dish soap. Give it a gentle brush now and then to maintain that shine. Don’t forget to wipe it dry!

Summie’s Tip: Keep a gentle toothbrush in your shower, So you’ll always be reminded to give your permanent jewelry a quick gentle scrub!

2. Be Mindful of Physical Activity If you’re planning on a high-energy day—whether it’s a workout, a game of soccer, or even some intense cleaning—Be very mindful of your jewelry; Protect your jewelry from impacts or strain that could cause it to loosen or break.
