Care Guide

Your jewelry is the finishing touch to your look, so as a golden rule: it should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.

Care guide by Material:

10k & 14k Solid Gold: Our 10k and 14k solid gold pieces are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Gold is a soft metal, so we recommend avoiding strenuous activities while wearing your pieces. Regular use of a polishing cloth will keep them looking shiny and new.

14k Gold-Filled: True gold-filled jewelry contains a minimum of 20% solid gold and is never plated. We pride ourselves on offering high-quality, authentic gold-filled pieces that closely resemble solid gold. The outer layer of gold ensures durability and minimizes tarnishing with normal wear and proper care. While gold-filled jewelry is safe for water exposure, high chemical contact—like chlorine or strong beauty products—and strenuous activities can speed up wear. Treat your pieces gently for long-lasting beauty.

Sterling Silver: Sterling silver is a durable and lightweight metal composed of 92.5% pure silver, making it perfect for everyday wear. Tarnishing may occur when not worn due to exposure to oxygen. To prevent this, store your silver in an airtight container or bag and use a polishing cloth regularly. Avoid contact with chemicals found in perfumes, hairsprays, and moisturizers to reduce tarnishing.

Gemstones: Our jewelry features genuine gemstones, not lab-created ones. Some gemstones, like opals and turquoise, require extra care due to their delicate nature:

  • Opals: Prolonged water exposure can cause discoloration. Keep opals dry to maintain their color.

  • Turquoise: Contains metals like copper, which can oxidize with water or oil exposure, potentially changing its color. Take extra precautions to avoid contact with moisture and oils.

Herringbone Chains: The herringbone chain is a beautifully intricate design made of interwoven, flattened links. Due to its delicate nature, this chain requires special care:

  • Store it flat to avoid kinks or dents.

  • Remove it before sleeping, showering, or strenuous activities.

  • Please note: Raquel Rosalie is not responsible for any kinks or twists that occur under any circumstances.

General Care Tips

  • Avoid chemical solutions, perfumes, excessive sweat, ocean water, and pool water. Saltwater and chlorine can damage metals and gemstones, dulling their finish.

  • Wipe your jewelry gently with a soft cloth to remove oils and residues.

  • Keep jewelry dry; moisture accelerates tarnishing.

  • Store different types of jewelry separately, preferably in airtight bags to prevent oxidization.

Taking these steps will help preserve the beauty and longevity of your Raquel Rosalie pieces.
