💍 How do I care for 925 Sterling silver?
Sterling silver is a living material that can oxidize over time – meaning it can take on a darker tone when it reacts with air and moisture.
This is completely natural and can be easily prevented by regular polishing with a soft polishing cloth – which always comes with your jewelry.
- avoid storing silver jewelry in humid environments
- preferably remove them when bathing, showering, and exercising
- polish your jewelry after use with the included soft (dry) cloth
- preferably store them in a closed box or fabric bag

Stainless steel is very durable and retains its color over time. It is an excellent choice for everyday jewelry:

Crystals are natural materials and should be handled with care:

- clean them with a dry soft cloth or a slightly damp cloth – do not soak
- store them separately to avoid scratches
- feel free to energetically charge and cleanse your crystals if you wish, e.g., in moonlight or on a selenite plate
