MONDO MONDO - AN EXTRA NOTE
Due to the nature of the handcrafted design of our jewelry variations may occur, each piece will be unique.
GENERAL CARE AND KEEPING
Remove jewelry when bathing, exercising, sleeping, or cleaning. Always avoid excess moisture, and remember to store your pieces properly in an airtight container when you aren't wearing them. It is normal for metal to oxidize (or change color) with time and exposure to the elements, but contact with liquid or other substances can expedite this process.
STERLING SILVER AND BRASS
Gently polish with a jewelry polishing cloth to bring sterling silver and brass pieces back to their original state of lustre. Brass is commonly known to turn skin green. Different people have varying reactions to this type of metal. It is a chemical reaction to your particular skin, lotions, moisture (even sweat!) and/or other environmental factors. To slow this process, you can keep your brass pieces polished, away from moisture, and stored properly in an airtight container when you aren't wearing them. Another useful trick is to coat the inside of brass rings with clear nail polish.
GOLD VERMEIL, SILVER-TONE AND 18K GOLD PLATED
Gently clean with mild dish soap and a soft brush but please do not polish! Gold vermeil is a thick gold plating that can actually be removed with polishing. Once completely dry, store your pieces in an airtight container, such as a ziplock bag, to avoid oxidization.
GEMSTONES
Gently clean with mild dish soap and a soft brush. All of our gemstones are high quality natural, mineral stones that can be delicate and broken if not cared for correctly.
We recommend regularly checking gemstones for looseness for any piece with stones, especially rings, every 6 months by a professional. This is a general estimate and the amount of wear a piece receives should be factored in. If you notice any looseness refrain from wearing the piece until it can be tightened.
MOOD RINGS
Avoid any contact with water / moisture as this may cause the mood stone to distort/stop changing colors. If this happens to your ring we offer a stone replacement for $45 plus shipping.
PEARLS
Wipe with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid exposure to moisture. Pearls are very soft and can be subject to scratching. We highly recommend putting on pearls after applying hairspray, perfume, or other cosmetics, as they are especially sensitive to chemical contact.
Jewelry care regarding disinfecting and cleaning due to COVID-19
STERLING SILVER, BRASS AND 14K YELLOW GOLD
Rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer are both safe to use to clean and disinfect. Rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer can leave a film or residue on metal and stones that will reduce the luster and polished appearance, if this occurs gently clean with warm soap and water.
GOLD VERMEIL AND PLATING
Rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer should be avoided, they should only be cleaned gently with warm soap and water
PEARLS, OPALS, EMERALDS, AND ACRYLIC STONES
Rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer should be avoided, they should only be cleaned gently with warm soap and water
