Caring For Your Treasures
-To keep your treasures in top shape, rinse with fresh water after ocean adventures and avoid harsh chemicals, lotions, and perfumes. Generally, it’s best to remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or working out. Remember, shells are natural treasures and opals are softer gems, but with a little care, they can last for years to come.
-14k Gold Fill: 14k gold-filled jewelry has a, physical layer of 14k gold bonded over a base metal, making it far more durable than gold plating. With proper care, it can last a lifetime. Gold fill requires little maintenance. Simply wipe with a soft cloth to remove makeup, oils, or dirt. After exposure to salt water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and wipe dry.
-Seashells: Seashells are natural ocean treasures that can last for many years when properly cared for. To clean, use mild soap, water, and a soft brush (such as a toothbrush) to remove dirt or residue, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely. After exposure to salt water, always rinse well with fresh water and dry afterward.
If a shell’s surface appears dull or dry, its natural luster can be restored by lightly brushing with a very small amount of mineral oil. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way and excess oil can attract dust. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
Opals:
-Opal Care: Opal is a relatively soft gemstone, with a hardness similar to glass. To help prevent scratches or chips, remove opal jewelry before physical activities such as exercise, heavy lifting, or hands-on work. While solid Australian opals are perfectly fine getting wet, it’s still best to remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, or doing dishes, and to avoid harsh chemicals such as chlorine and ultrasonic cleaners.When not wearing, store your piece in the included Vagabond Sundries pouch or another soft container to protect it from harder gemstones and materials, such as diamonds.
-Opal Doublets: Opal doublets are made from a layer of natural opal bonded to a supportive backing, often ironstone. Because of this layered construction, avoid prolonged exposure to water, soaking, or ultrasonic cleaning, as moisture can seep between the layers over time. Remove doublet jewelry before swimming, bathing, or doing dishes. Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately to preserve its beauty for years to come.
