jewelry care

Our jewelry is uses gold plated, gold filled, surgical steel and sterling silver findings. Please review the jewelry care instructions below before wearing your new jewels. Bec Design will not be responsible for any normal wear and tear on plated items.

To ensure that our customers get the best experience with their products, we have provided some tips to help keep your jewelry in the best condition.

  • Store your jewelry separately to avoid rubbing and scratching. Best way to store is in individual plastic baggies. (If you would like us to include one with your purchase, please let us know.)
  • Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store jewellery next to heating vents, windowsills or in bathrooms. Humidity and hot conditions can cause jewelry to tarnish.
  • Skin and hair products can react with metals, causing brass to tarnish and erode gold plating. Perfumes, lotions and creams can tarnish and corrode jewelry. Apply any scents or cosmetics before you put on your jewelry, and ensure your skin is dry before wearing.
  • Remove jewelry before exercising, cleaning, gardening or any other physical work.
  • Avoid wearing your jewelry overnight.
  • Avoid wearing your jewelry in the water, including showers, pools, ocean etc.
