Jewelry Care Guide
How to Care for Your Jewelry
Proper care helps maintain the brilliance and luster of your VIB Jewelry pieces. Please follow these specialized guidelines to ensure your jewelry stays in its best condition.
General Care Tips
- Keep it Dry: Always remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, exercising, or washing your hands. Moisture is the enemy of plated surfaces.
- The "Last On, First Off" Rule: Put on your jewelry after applying makeup, perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions. Chemicals in these products can react with the metal and cause premature dulling.
- Avoid Friction: Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratching and tangling.
- Clean Gently: After each wear, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove surface oils and skin residue.
Gold-Plated Brass Specialty Care
Our collection is exclusively crafted from high-quality 18K Gold-Plated Brass. To preserve the premium plating:
- Natural Wear Notice: Please note that gold plating will naturally wear over time, revealing the brass base underneath. This is a natural characteristic of fashion jewelry and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
- pH Sensitivity: The rate of wear depends on individual skin pH levels and perspiration. In rare cases, the natural copper content in brass may react with certain skin types; this is a natural oxidation process and not a reflection of product quality.
- Avoid Abrasives: Never use liquid jewelry cleaners, chemical polishing cloths, or abrasive materials, as these will strip away the gold plating instantly.
- Storage Environment: Store in a cool, dry place. High humidity can accelerate natural oxidation.
