How Long Will My Jewelry Last?
At Love Catcher, we understand that your personalized and memorial jewelry holds deep personal significance. These pieces capture cherished moments, memories, and connections, making them far more than simple accessories. A common question we receive is how long you can expect your jewelry to endure.
With proper care, your keepsake jewelry is designed to last a lifetime. Because these items are crafted using specialized materials to encapsulate your personal elements, understanding how they age and how to care for them ensures they remain beautiful for generations.
Are the metal jewelry settings tarnish-free?
This will depend on the metal you select for your jewelry. Every piece of Love Catcher jewelry is constructed using high-quality metals and professional-grade sealing agents, so they won’t leave green stains on your skin after wearing them. However, metals like sterling silver may naturally dull over time if not cared for properly. If this happens to your jewelry settings, it is recommended to seek out a jewelry cleaning professional.
Will my stone color stay?
Our stones are crafted using premium UV-resistant resin to ensure durability and color stability. Over time, it is natural for resin to develop a soft, creamy ivory hue due to exposure to light and air. However, it will not turn yellow. Proper care is essential for maintaining your jewelry's longevity, so we encourage you to follow the care instructions provided with your purchase.
How can I protect my jewelry piece from any other environmental damage?
You can preserve the original clarity and color of your jewelry by practicing a few simple care habits. We recommend storing your piece in a dark, cool place—such as a lined jewelry box—when you are not wearing it. Additionally, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, and harsh chemicals will keep the resin looking its best.
What activities can damage my jewelry?
Always remove your pieces before swimming, showering, or engaging in vigorous activities or exercise. Sweat, chlorinated pool water, and saltwater can strip away the metal's natural shine and degrade personalized elements. Taking off your jewelry during strenuous tasks also prevents accidental scratches or impact damage.
How should I store my jewelry to best protect it?
When you are not wearing your keepsake, keep your jewelry in the provided storage box or one of your own. This protects it from dust and minimizes exposure to open air, which can accelerate tarnishing. Additionally, ensure your storage area avoids contact with rubber materials, as rubber releases compounds that can permanently discolor certain precious metals.
