Care Policy

Always store your jewelry pieces individually, preferably in your SHTRILI STORE soft-lined box or pouch so

that they don’t rub together, scratch or tangle. Particular care should be taken with gemstones to

ensure that they do not knock against one another when stored. Also remember to keep your chains

fastened so they don’t become tangled.

Living in a humid environment? Store your jewelry with a small packet of desiccant crystals to help

reduce tarnishing.

Your gold vermeil and silver jewelry should be kept in a dark, cool and dry place. With time and wear,

sterling silver will naturally become oxidized and eventually tarnish. Storing silver jewelry in a sealed

plastic bag or airtight box when it is not being worn will keep out the air that causes oxidation. The

oxidation process is also slowed down by wearing your jewelry often. If however your jewelry is

stored for long-periods of time, occasional cleaning is recommended to maintain shine and keep

oxidation at bay.

All our SHTRILI STORE sterling silver jewelry is rhodium plated which protects the silver from exposure and

helps reduce long-term tarnishing.

Your jewelry is particularly susceptible to damage from the effects of chemicals present in perfume,

hairspray, make-up, nail polish remover, body oils, sun tan lotion and deodorant.

Do not keep jewelry in direct sunlight as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause many gemstones

to fade and lose their colour. Amethyst, rose quartz, chalcedony and smokey quartz are just some of

the gemstones that can become paler from exposure to sunlight.
