Jewelry Care

  • Regular Cleaning
    • Use a Soft Cloth: Gently polish your sterling silver jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth or a special silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish and restore shine.
    • Mild Soap and Water: For a deeper clean, use a mild soap and warm water solution. Gently scrub the jewelry with a soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth.
    • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or ammonia, as these can damage the silver.
  • Proper Storage
    • Store in a Dry Place: Moisture can cause silver to tarnish, so it’s important to store your jewelry in a dry, cool place.
    • Use Anti-Tarnish Bags or Cloths: Storing your jewelry in anti-tarnish bags or wrapping it in anti-tarnish cloth can help prevent oxidation.
    • Keep Pieces Separate: To avoid scratches, store each piece of jewelry separately, either in individual pouches or in compartments within a jewelry box.
  • Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
    • Remove Before Swimming or Bathing: Chlorine and saltwater can cause silver to tarnish, so remove your jewelry before swimming or bathing.
    • Keep Away from Perfume and Lotions: Chemicals in perfumes, lotions, and hair products can accelerate tarnishing. Put on your silver jewelry after applying these products.
  • Wear Your Jewelry Regularly
    • Surprisingly, wearing your sterling silver jewelry regularly can help prevent tarnish. The oils in your skin can actually help keep the silver polished and shiny.
  • Professional Cleaning
    • For heavily tarnished or intricate pieces, consider having your jewelry professionally cleaned. Jewelers have specialized tools and solutions to restore the beauty of your silver.
    • By following these simple care tips, you can keep your sterling silver jewelry looking stunning for years to come.
  • Regular Cleaning
    • Mild Soap and Water: Clean your solid gold jewelry regularly with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Soak the jewelry for a few minutes, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
    • Polishing: Use a soft polishing cloth designed for gold to buff your jewelry and restore its shine. Be gentle to avoid scratching the surface.
  • Proper Storage
    • Store in a Jewelry Box: Keep your gold jewelry in a fabric-lined jewelry box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and tangling.
    • Separate Pieces: Store gold pieces separately from other jewelry, especially harder gemstones, to avoid scratching.
    • Avoid Humidity: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the gold’s appearance.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals
    • Remove Before Swimming: Chlorine in pools and hot tubs can weaken gold, leading to discoloration or damage. Always remove your jewelry before swimming or using a hot tub.
    • Keep Away from Chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, hair products, and household cleaners can damage gold. Apply these products before putting on your jewelry and avoid direct contact with chemicals.
  • Be Mindful During Wear
    • Remove During Physical Activities: To prevent scratches or bending, remove your gold jewelry during activities like exercising, gardening, or heavy lifting.
    • Protect from Abrasions: Gold is a soft metal and can scratch easily, especially in higher karats. Be mindful of rough surfaces that could damage your jewelry.
  • Professional Maintenance
    • Regular Inspections: If your jewelry has gemstones or intricate settings, have it inspected by a jeweler regularly to ensure the settings are secure and the piece is in good condition.
    • Professional Cleaning: Consider having your gold jewelry professionally cleaned and polished by a jeweler every year or as needed to maintain its luster.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight
    • Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause gold to lose its sheen. Store your jewelry in a shaded area or jewelry box away from direct sunlight.

By following these care tips, your solid gold jewelry will remain a timeless and beautiful part of your collection for years to come.

With the proper care, your Human Design Hawaii jewelry can last a long time.

Sterling Silver Care: Sterling silver jewelry can be passed down from generation to generation with the right care. Silver can tarnish when it is exposed to salt, air, chlorine, or other chemicals like sunblock and creams or products containing sulfur. But no need to worry, we supply a sterling silver jewelry cloth with each order so you can maintain the shine and brilliance of your jewelry. Make sure to use your jewelry cloth gently and keep jewelry away from the above-mentioned culprits.

To prevent tarnish as much as possible, we recommend that you store your sterling silver jewelry in a safe, dry place when engaging in the following activities: Performing household and outdoor chores, showering, bathing, swimming in pools, hot tubs, hot springs, and the ocean. Using lotion, hair products, fragrances, and other cosmetics. Exercising at the gym or during contact sports or while preparing meals. Storing sterling silver in the Human Design Olive Green dust pouch provided with your purchase will help prevent tarnish. You can also use an air-tight container to store your silver jewelry to keep it protected from the elements. We would highly recommend cleaning your silver jewelry as much as possible. Using the polishing cloth before you put on your silver jewelry and when you take it off can ensure that you are properly maintaining the upkeep of your silver pieces.

We offer lifetime cleaning services for a fee for any of our silver jewelry designs. Please email shophumandesign@gmail.com for a quote.

Solid Gold: Solid gold (14k, 18k & 24k gold) is a precious metal that will not oxidize or discolor since it is the least reactive metal. It is also an active lifestyle’s best friend; it scratches less and doesn’t wear out. Solid gold will never tarnish or fade.

All of our items are carefully packaged and wrapped individually in pouches. All items are thoroughly inspected prior to shipping. However, in the unfortunate case that an item is damaged while shipping, we will happily assist you in resolving this matter. Email shophumandesign@gmail.com with your order number and a photo of the damaged item. We will work to resolve the matter. Please reach out to us within 7 days for a free exchange. If you reach out to us past the 7-day period you may incur a repair fee or return shipping fee.

We offer free repairs for a lifetime for any design purchased on our website specifically less the cost of shipping. Any custom orders need to be privately insured and do not qualify for free repair but can be repaired for a fee. The fee will be assessed by our jeweler upon receipt of the product. Shipping charges apply to the customer for any repairs. You must email us with a photo of the damaged item and your purchase receipt. If you do not have the receipt you may include the last four digits of your payment method used so we can look up your order. We will then send you an invoice for the shipping labels to and from. Once this is paid we will email you the pre-paid shipping labels to ship the product back to us for repair. Once we receive your package, we will work on the repair. Any lost gemstones will also be billed to the customer at the current market rate. Depending on our production schedule and when we receive your package your repair may take up to 6 weeks to return back to you. You will receive tracking confirmation to your email once your repair has shipped.
