Your Aphrodel piece was crafted using premium 925 sterling silver with luxurious gold plating, which may display natural variations in tone and finish that are inherent characteristics of fine jewelry, not imperfections. These subtle differences make each piece uniquely yours.

To ensure that your jewelry maintains its radiant beauty over time, we recommend following these care instructions.

Avoid exposing it to water, perfume, lotions, or harsh chemicals, as these can affect the gold plating. If your jewelry does come into contact with moisture, gently pat it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Store it away from excessive heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Avoid contact with rough or abrasive surfaces that may scratch the delicate gold plating. If light scratches occur, gently buff them with a soft jewelry polishing cloth in one direction.

Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, exercising, or applying beauty products to preserve its lustrous finish.

To maintain the pristine condition of your jewelry, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep each piece in its protective pouch or a soft-lined jewelry box with individual compartments to prevent scratching and tangling. When traveling, store your Aphrodel jewelry in its protective bag to safeguard the delicate gold plating and maintain its lustrous finish.

Sterling silver is prized for its lustrous shine and durability, providing a strong foundation for your jewelry. As with all precious metals, silver may naturally develop a patina over time, which can be gently restored with proper care. You can remove surface tarnish by using a clean, dry, soft polishing cloth designed for silver.

Gold plating is favored for its warm, radiant finish and ability to enhance the beauty of the underlying silver. It is natural for subtle color variations to appear due to the layered plating process. You can gently restore the shine by using a soft jewelry polishing cloth, buffing in one direction to maintain the integrity of the plating.

To preserve the richness of the gold finish, ensure your jewelry is stored in its protective pouch away from direct light, heat, and moisture.

An anti-tarnish strip in your jewelry storage may help protect the silver from oxidation. Always test any cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first to ensure they won't damage the delicate gold plating.

Enhance the brilliance of your jewelry with a high-quality silver polishing cloth or gentle jewelry cleaner specifically designed for gold-plated pieces. Choose products that are safe for both sterling silver and gold plating, and apply them sparingly with a soft cloth, buffing gently in one direction to avoid scratching the delicate gold surface for a lustrous finish.
