Materials & care
Practical guidance for caring for the pieces you wear.
A little care goes a long way. Jewelry naturally responds to wear, moisture, skin chemistry and its environment. Follow the guidance below to help preserve the finish, luster and detail of your ZAFARI pieces.
Put jewelry on after fragrance, lotion, hairspray and cosmetics have dried. Remove pieces before showering, swimming, exercising, sleeping or cleaning. Avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat, perfume, oils and household chemicals. After wear, wipe gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Store pieces separately in a dry pouch or jewelry box to reduce scratching and tangling.
Use a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth. Do not use silver dip, chemical cleaners, toothpaste or polishing compounds. Plated finishes can gradually change with regular wear; careful storage and reduced exposure to moisture and chemicals can help extend their appearance.
Unplated sterling silver may naturally tarnish. Polish gently with a cloth designed for sterling silver. Do not use a silver-polishing cloth on gold vermeil, plated surfaces, enamel, pearls or delicate stones.
Pearls are softer than many gemstones. Wipe them gently after wear and store them away from harder jewelry. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, perfume and direct contact with cosmetics or chemicals.
Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Because care requirements can vary by stone and setting, avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaning unless the product instructions specifically allow it. Take extra care with stones that are porous, layered or set with adhesive.
