Care Instructions

All jewelry: Jewelry should be stored in a dry area of your home, never the bathroom, this will speed up oxidation causing your jewelry to tarnish/darken more rapidly. Any tarnish is easy to remove with a silver polishing cloths, which can be used on any metal jewelry. They can be purchased at almost any major retail store. A quick buff and your jewelry will be back to its brand-new shine.

Sterling Silver: Sterling silver jewelry will oxidize with time creating a dark tarnish. To avoid this always store your silver jewelry in dry location and never in a bathroom.  Moisture will speed the tarnish on the jewelry.  To clean use a silver polishing cloth.

Copper, Bronze Brass Jewelry: Copper and Brass jewelry will patina (darken) with time, this is inevitable as copper/brass oxidizes when exposed to air, moisture and skin. If you prefer to keep jewelry bright like it was at purchase you can use Brasso or a jewelry polish cloth.  LavaLake Jewelry is sealed after each piece is completed which will help maintain shine for a few months.  Every person reacts differently to these metals. For this reason, it is important to remember that some people experience oxidation against the skin when wearing copper, bronze or brass jewelry (green coloration), but it is completely normal.
