Jewelry Care
Since most of Carrie Hoffman Jewelry designs are polished we ask that you take some extra precautions to protect and extend the life of the pieces your have purchased. Daily wear and tear can take its toll on precious metals and stones so we ask that you follow these steps.
1) Please use jeweler’s cloths to clean your jewelry but make sure that they are clean to avoid scratching. Discard any old cloths as they can scratch your pieces.
2) If you notice any residue on your skin from wearing our jewelry this could be residual polish compound left from polishing or could be a chemical reaction that happens when certain soaps, perfumes or lotions react to the metal on your skin. This is usually harmless unless you have an allergy. We recommend you remove your jewelry to avoid contact with water, soap, and lotions or switch products. If you notice a reaction greater than just smudging you may have an allergy that requires you speak with an allergist. Nickel is a common allergy and can be found in white gold. We purchase metals from the best refiners in the industry to avoid such occurrences from happening. If you are aware of a metal allergy please contact us to discuss prior to placing your order.
3) Many gemstones demand higher level of care and will require you take extra steps to avoid damage for example avoiding water, lotions, soaps and chemicals and placing them in a safe place when not wearing them.
4) Make sure to keep your jewelry in a safe and soft place to avoid scratching or damage. A soft bag usually does the trick.
5) You can polish pieces using a nonabrasive gold cleaner and a 100% cotton cloth. Make sure to rinse with water thoroughly and let dry before wearing again.
6) Avoid wearing jewelry in environments that can damage jewelry like the beach, pool or hot tub. Chlorine and other chemicals are harmful to jewelry especially gemstones.
