Stainless Steel pieces will not tarnish, rust, or turn your skin green. They are also hypoallergenic. Although our jewelry can handle a normal amount of contact with water and sweat, we suggest limited contact for longer durability. We take pride in using high quality materials for those pieces that are not stainless steel and want you to enjoy your jewelry for as long as possible. To ensure your pieces last, please do not expose your jewelry to harsh chemicals such as perfume, saltwater, pool chlorine or any household cleaning liquids.
